1) I did try to design one using the 1626, but no one gave me any feed back on operating points or how it sounded in a preamp circuit(they either couldn't remember or never wrote me back)and it required large plate and filament voltages so I needed at least two large transformers with tube rectifiers and tube regulators. Too expensive.Understood.
2) I can get decent OPT's cheaper than decent step down IT's.
Not from Lundahl. Hhhmmmm.
3) 6N1P's are good sounding tubes by all accounts and fairly cheap (also still in production). They are easy to work with - not prone to much oscillations or microphonics. They work fine in with low plate current and require less filament current, so cheaper transformer and only one.
OK, I agree here.
4) I am going to be powering Decware Selects which use the 6N1P as the gain/driver, so I am keeping to their strengths.
I'm afraid I have no experience with your proposed approach. I would simply grab a pair of outputs from someone and try it quick-and-dirty inserted into your normal signal chain to see how it sounds.
Let us know what you find.
