Been there done that ...
KT90 Type II with MagneQuest Iron
Sounded very detailed and articulate.
Not involving or endearing at all.
Dynamics were accentuated.
WOW without the YUM.

Dan, that's an interesting circuit. One thing though... shouldn't the OPT be 4K? The optimum Z for the tube doesn't change when the load is moved from the anode to the cathode. Maybe that's why you weren't thrilled with the sound. Did you have an opportunity to measure harmonics or other performance?

This was the first tube project for me.
So I didn't know alot like I do now.
I have no way of measuring just listening.
I kept waiting for it to breakin but
after 100+ hours it never changed.
It seemed to have enough power but
the sound just wasn't for me.

Well, it's a beautiful amplifier, do you still have it? 4K-5K OPTs in place of the 800 ohm parafeeds might really open up the sound.

Yes and No
I modded it to become my SE KT66/6L6 Amp.
Very happy with it.

Good, I'm glad to see it didn't go to waste. Nice work!
