RE: Question

I agree that the EL84 can be a great sounding valve. I don't agree that Global feed back is necessary to run them as Pentodes with pleasing results.

I have been implementing feedback between the OPT Secondary and the Cathode with very good results. I love the sound of a well tamed Pentode. I would not do this with a Triode mainly because it's not necessary secondly a 60 V bias voltage across the Secondary of your OPT is not especially safe...The Bias voltage of an EL84 and EL34 is relatively low...A cathode winding in the primary would be nice...I've not thrown the cash at one of these animals to date.
