RE: no triode curves

GSH,

Thanks for the response.

Yes, and the 6AG7 pentode is a compromise also. Just a thought excersize.

" It's often said that it's the driver that gives the sonic signature of an amp, if so, then why not?"

I have heard that said many times, but I disagree with it. I have always found that the output tube had the biggest impact on the sound. That is, tube swapping the output tube resulted in the greatest changes in the sound, not swapping the driver tubes.

The reverse logic amp you describe sounds interesting. I have always like the idea of Broskie's 5 paralleled EL84 amp, with no driver stage at all.

I lost an auction on ebay for a little amp that had small step up transformers from a reel to reel as a driver stage, and paralleled 6SN7 for output tube with one watt output. This was before I went small, and I wish I had it.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
