About a biscuit away from being done with these "Soloist 88s", Push-Pull KT-88 mono blocks from Diyaudio.com. Mullard 5-20 designed by Tubemack, breathed on by Johan Potgeieter, Eli Duttman, Steve Brown, et. al. Professor Brown is showing me, by e-mail, how to build the schematic.
I currently alternate between a direct-coupled 45 SE (Schmalle/Tucker) and a triode wired, KT-88 SE (George Anderson). The purity of tone of the 45 is undeniable but the larger muscles of the KT-88 are seductive too. Listening to Steve Brown's Allen Wright inspired Push-pull a few years ago convinced me that a push-pull belongs on my shelf.
Going from 1.8 to 6 to 50 Watts is an eye-opener!
