In Reply to: What PP amp to build? posted by speleo on April 2, 2007 at 06:47:34:
I have breadboarded the PP1 amp and tried el34, 6550 and KT66 in pentode mode with a regulated screen supply below 300 volt. I also tried S11E12 (=12E1) tubes. I didnot like the somewhat heavy bass on my speakers (damping factor) so I tried local feedback with a 100K resistor from plate el34 to plate of top ecc88 (i used 6N23). The sound is better now but I have far less power. Can I lower the 470 ohm resistor in the tail of the cascodes to get more gain ? Any other suggestions ?
