Thanks for the feedback.

Mike has posted on the PGP; looks like however you cut it there is plenty of filament power.

I agree about triode-wired pentodes, if you are determined to do a triode. Your info on the sonics of ultralinear vs pentode is a valuable addition, I have not heard that before. I guess I have a soft spot in my heart (or head?!) for an ultralinear EL-84 because it was the first amp I designed and built. I loved it, but it's been a long time - over forty years ago; I was probably 15 or 16. I certainly have not done any comparative listening since then, at least any controlled comparison. I may have to build this amp just to hear the differences.

This post is made possible by the generous support of people like you and our sponsors:
