Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

what kind of builder

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember anybody achieving low voltages (6.3 and below) with the halogen units so far. 10 vac and 20 vac are achievable.

My advice would depend on what kind of builder you are. If you regularly build amps and would like to experiment, then try the high frequency AC heating. It's inexpensive and doesn't take up much room.

However, if this a 'statement' amp and you won't build another for quite some time, take the safe route with the Rod Coleman regulators which are known to produce good sound. You can then plan your layout to take account of the space needed for the regulators, heatsinks, transformers etc.
