Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

RE: I had a nice talk with Doc Hoyer.

The output has no voltage gain..We talked about that again as well..All the voltage gain is from the boot strapped driver and you have to measure in reference to ground being there is existing voltage on the cathodes already.
The circuit is 100% feedback in output stage so how much gain do you think you will get from that?..Its basically works more like an impedance follower. If it had a 2 to 1 voltage gain,why would you have to bootstrap the driver?
Scroll down to page 10 and look at the output trafo and explain how it can be a voltage amp.
