AC heaters on a 2A3 at 2.5 VAC sound better than DC, and myself and others, ( DrummerWill, Serious Stereo, etc etc etc ) have no problem running 2A3 JJs, etc. with AC filament noise, on ALTEC or GPA High Efficiency speakers.
Many a potentially good sounding circuit is ruined, when the designer makes lowest noise measured, the priority. The complex cure, on a 2.5 VAC Ef DHT, is worse than the original problem. In fact, that is one of several reasons why one should use a 2A3, because it HAS a 2.5 Ef voltage requirement, VS, say, a 300B, etc.
Two more mono amps to build. Am designing a new power transformer next week, out of M6, to do DCed 2A3 types of circuits. Fun stuff.
