RE: Dropping the Power Stage

Late to the party here, but I will throw in my two cents as you all have been so helpful on my recent posts.

This is in essence a bad idea... the driver stage in any amplifier (except where grid current is expected) is designed to make voltage, not power. The 6AG7 is a strange beast too, I have a whole bunch of them from an ex NORAD site, and the best use I can find is to try to turbo charge the RF amplifier stages in an old shortwave radio.

I think you'd be way better off taking a purpose designed audio tube, and designing a small amplifier around it. For example, triode connect a 6L6, or maybe an EL84... that would give around 1 - 2 W of output in a single ended configuration and super easy to maintain.
