Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: ALT. 1. Exactly, my supplies turned out nice


This is interesting stuff that you're all doing-- I suggest you involve Dave Slagle as much as you can.

I have a suggestion for you-- perhaps more a question: what happens when your simmed power supply is connected thru an output transformer (inductance, resistance and reactance) to a tube's plate, and also, what happens to the supply when it is tapped and shunt-loaded after the tap-- to also run a driver stage?

What does the power supply do under the conditions of running distributed loading and filtering in the amplifier-- beyond the simple simmed power supply?

I humbly submit that the entire amplifier-- ALL of it-- is the power supply, and its overall performance must be considered as a whole power supply system operating under changing and mixing pulsing conditions.

The question therefore becomes: "how can this possibly be simmed or evaluated if you only consider the main power transformer, the rectifier, the chokes and two capacitors?". Those are but a few of the parts in the power supply!
