In Reply to: Anyone recommend an octal (6.3v heater) pentode driver for SET 300b posted by Ivan303 on November 15, 2016 at 09:04:49:
I bought the original Basie kit. Never got around to building them. Then DIYHS came out with the Ladyday series. I bought the parts for their LD3 which includes the 310A pentode driver. I also bought their best Silk transformers and upgraded some other parts to those of my choosing.These have been in my main system now for about nine years. Best sound I've had in any of my systems. I love these amps and plan to build better speakers early next year in an effort to get all I can out of this design.
You've probably already seen this review but just in case, I've included a link.
Best of luck with your project.
