>When you say it's not efficient, are you talking about all the heat the resistor would dissipate? I was planning on using a 3K resistor with a 2A3 at 60mA, so that would dissipate about 11 watts.The resistor dissipates a lot. Also, the load on the 2A3 you have here will be the parallel combination of the output transformer primary and the 3K resistor, down around 1.5K. That's also going to make it more nonlinear and deliver less output power than using a choke. It can work, though, and make music.
