Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Even better,

I'm going to go out on the twig here, and rec a device I've been doing a lot of testing and research on.

Try a 6GK5. Single triode, 'VHF Amplifier'. Go look it up, Eli, paba, you going to be stuck to your knickers for a week. Vendors on ebay are selling hundred nests of them, both Mullard and Hitachi.

I have more of these than I'll use in my remaining lifetime, just so I can test every way from Sunday and make up perfect pairs and quads.  It has two-thirds the rp, twice the gm, is more linear than the 5965, µ of 75, and completely sidesteps the section-in-a-bottle matching problem that relegates half my 5965s to the circular file.

Aloha Nui Loa,

Poinz
