RE: Power amplifier




Why so much gain? Mike Samra's remark about the 12AT7 is (IMO) spot on. The differential splitter/driver used in "El Cheapo" (schematic attached) has ALL the gain needed to drive no loop NFB PP triode wired EL34s, when a CDP is the source. Just ground the non-inverting triode's grid.

The 'T7 is EXTREMELY well suited to PP circuitry. The NET harmonic distortion spectrum is a PLEASING "waterfall", with 2nd > 3rd > 4th.
