Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: "While not perfect, it is still better then anything else available" seems you forgot to add IMHO...nt

You are correct about the tube but not the circuit. And some triodes are more linear than others. The fabled 300B is just very good. The 2A3 is more linear and I'm told the 45 more linear yet. The problem is power.

However a screen drive 509 or 519 is a very linear triode and a push/pull pair is capable of well over 200 watts. And on another front the old Sony VFETs are a very linear solid state triode and they don't need an output transformer. Their curves look like a 2A3 and you can get power out of them too.
