Paul,Actually the PGP8 original was 5@2A and then on the 8.1 these where upped in wire size (or down in gauge however you want to say it) so actually it is higher than 2A. That is why the 2.5V's are always 2.75Vac @ 2.5A's.
Also remember much of a power transformers specifications fall on the total power rating. In this configurations max on each winding is 6@2 (actually PG8 was 2.5A), 5@2 and HV at 125ma ac. So we are well below the design area and I think the 8.1 in this usage will be loafing.
I was always taught that ultalinear in SET was a poor choice. Since it is not balanced it can change the effectiviness of the output transformer because of the DC draw and the change in DC draw depending on output power. Triode wired pentodes to me is a total waste of time, might as well just use a triode.
I think this is a great starter amp for anyone looking for a great little project.
Thanks
