>6N6P tube is regarded as being similar to ECC99 or E182CC. Its characteristics fall in between E88CC(6922) and 6N30P. For a datasheet, look at the link below. They are regarded very good tubes (in relation to their price - I have got a dozen for $2 each).Where from?
>Since I want to try the differential cascoded driver also, is there a rule of thumb in relation to the operating conditions of the above mentioned topology?<
1/ use hi-gm tubes and at ~11mmA /V these are not the best possible, but are more than OK.
2/ Run them HOT - look how the transfer curves straightne out at around 15mA anode current.
3/ use more than enoughB+ toallow them to swing all the signal V you need to easily drive the output tubes
4/ Set the upper tubes grid voltage using a distortion analyser to get the best distortion spectrum possible. Other wise do it by ear - but don't make it too low. Better too high than too low!
Good hunting, Allen
