Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

RE: Magnavox Rebuilds and Fultons (longish)

For what it is, thats not too bad. You can't start to mess with it too much, Its sort of a proven balanced design. Leave it alone.

Some of the things I don't care for is the paraphrase ( out of time, after the fact ) phase splitter, the series cap-couple to the grids of the finals, the need for negative feedback loop, and the extra parts.

My suggestion is simpler, cleaner, on-time, zero feedback loop. My suggestion is less power, but more music. Substitute inexpensive 6AQ5s for 6BQ5s in my suggestion, and a 12AX7 front end tube. BUT, you would need a higher VAC power transformer, to get higher voltages. A whole new amp. Enjoy yours. I think you should be fine with what you have.
