Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Correct

The two triode sections, when paralleled, are not quite precisely alike in all characteristics, so on EFFICIENT speakers, it is heard as a musical presentation being slightly askew, slightly less pure, less precise, less pristine.

On lower efficiency speakers, its a moot point, and often helpful to parallel sections, to get extra drive to the load, and trade off some of the purity. Not so, however, when you have efficient speakers. A good listener can hear it.

This amp's intended load is efficient speakers. Hence the design choice.
