Interesting: Marantz 8 and 9's also used voltage doublers. Doublers were quite common in the old days. For modern designs, Quicksilver has almost totally ( i haven't see all his designs) gone over to a doubler system.What is interesting is Mike has used the doubler for B+ supply for the front end tubes ( 600 volt B+ = 300 volt at the half way point) or for the screen 2 taps. This, in effect, enables him to run a non ultralinear output and also enables his amps to be stable running anything from a 6L6 to a KT 120
