RE: Anyone ever build a clone of Citation V?

Thanks for suggestions. Of course, implementing them would result in an amplifier that had nothing in common with a Citation V. I have 12BY7s, 6CG7, 5881s, lots of 12BH7 (ECC99) etc. The point of following a proven plan is that you know it will at least work when complete. Too much experimentation and solving the problems is something the engineers love (not me). I have the parts for CCS, can be added later. What is the supply for the CCS though? I can't invent it.

Edcor makes a 25W 6.6Kohm/8ohm OPT w/ screen tap for 50 bucks, not bad. Gotta wait the 6 weeks.

I can definitely build a beefier PS that what the schematic shows. But do you really need 460V to the plates of the OP tube? Seem like one should go with less, especially on 5881s (I also have T-S 6L6GWBs).

Thanks

Pete
