RE: 46 IT 46

There's nothing wrong with the proposition diagrammed above. With a 5K:8ohm output transformer, and two 46 gain stages, you will achieve a gain of about 8dB.

Given the plate impedance of the tube (something like 2400ohms) you could get good results from either the Lundahl LL2753/25mA (1:1) or the shown Lundahl LL2746/30mA (1:2). The Lundahl LL1663/30mA (5K:8ohms) would be my choice for output transformer.

With the output stage cathode resistor shown the IT secondary lead labeled "BIAS" will require a positive voltage applied or the output tube will be cut off. You could use a smaller value cathode resistor and then ground that secondary lead.
