I will certainly be looking into the EML tubes. I'd actually like to try running an AVVT AV8 as an output, but not unless EML is going to take on production of this tube.
My first amp will be a pancake for the dog, but for subsequent builds I will be taking your advice and running my outputs at low dissipation and using a more 'modern' PSU design. I am also having a pair of ~10ft^3 MLTLs built for running the GPA 604 driver. Hell, I might even use a simple, well-made stainless steel chassis, directly couple a wimpy driver (a pentode in my case) and tune my cathode caps...
Seems like some of your suggestions are not lost on folks. I will at least give myself an opportunity to challenge and learn. I might even end up with a system that I enjoy.
Cheers.
