I built a 'poinz' 6V6 with PPP 7C5s. I have tested various components & have constantly improved the amp. Last improvement was a plate choke on the 6CG7 phase splitter.The only idea I have left is a superior phase splitter tube, although the Raytheon 6CG7 is good. I do have two octal socket positions left on the chassis with removing the octal hole size 9-pin socket.
What would you recommend for a phase splitter tube(s). I can apply up to 320 volts plate & up to 50 ma for the phase splitter. Right now, I use a negative supply of 140 VDC on the 6CG7 cathode.
Other tubes I tried were various 6CG7s, 6922s, 12AV7 (yuk), Tele ECC85, Sylvania 6SN7GT and 2C22 that has a slight edge on the Ray 6CG7.
