In Reply to: Driving 6Y6GTs with El Cheapo 12AT7 front end? posted by jyourison on April 25, 2013 at 10:47:34:
Jeff,
Take a look at the 6Y6 Data sheet. Notice the low max. plate voltage limit. That does not mesh at all well with the 12AT7 LTP front end found in "El Cheapo".
I take it you want to do another PP amp. Consider a CCS loaded 6922 section voltage amplifier DC coupled to an IRFBC20 "concertina" phase splitter. Use "fixed" bias "finals", with an individual trim pot for each tube. Bridge rectify the O/P of your Triad N-77U to get the B+. CLC filter. The rail will come in at approx. 165 V. and you'll have way more current than you can use. :> D Go full pentode mode and regulate g2 B+ with a VR105. LED bias the voltage gain triode and follow the "textbook" O/P trafo to voltage amplifier cathode GNFB setup.
Edcor's CXPP30-MS-5K seems about right, assuming "normal" Class "AB1" operation is chosen for the O/P stage.
