Well, just in time for VSAC! This beast sports one 6C33 per channel driven by two 6S2S's. The power supply is solid state for the 6C33's, and the driver supply is tube rectified with a 6C5S, then a Bottlehead hybrid shunt regulator using the 6N8S provides separate regulated B+ for each channel. To top it off, the negative bias supply for the 6C33 is also shunt regulated with an SG3S gas tube. All these tube names sound a little funky, as I stuck with the Russian names for these tubes. Output iron is the venerable MQ EXO-800 fed by those MASSIVE BAPC plate chokes. Coupling caps are KBG/MGBO Russian PIO, sockets are NOS Russian military, etc. etc. Now for a listen...
