In Reply to: RE: How reliable have your SET or SE tube amps been? posted by RGA on April 13, 2016 at 23:37:05
I build my own single ended tube amplifiers.
Any reliability problems that I've had in the past, have always been....pilot error (so I am NOT perfect).
No failures due to parts, as I do NOT purchase bottom-of-the barrel parts.

I build all my amplification, so as said it's as reliable as I build it.
Since I've been using 4P1L SETs I just leave them on 24/7. The tubes are cheap and there are just 4 of them and I have 150, so I simply don't care. I put on music before I go to sleep, which is why it stays on. My whole system goes through my SET - computer, iTunes, TV, everything.
I pretty much never have problems once the system is working - it just stays working.
I am using a pair of car radio 12AB5 tubes in SE pentode mode.
A pair of 12AV6 driver tubes, and a hybrid SS diode/6AX5GT power supply.

I want to make a Hybrid SS/tube rectifier to protect the dual tube rectifiers on the Raphaelite Sinovt amp that I am working on. Do you have a diagram of the circuit you are using? thank you in advance, Dak
