Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

RE: What I have so far

I certainly agree about voltage doubler PS - so many classic tube amps used them, Harman Kardon, Marantz, etc. But I'm trying to work with parts I have. I don't have a 220VAC output power tranny. And voltage doublers require big current trannies, cause you end up with half, right? Mine is 318-0-318VAC, should give me approx 440VDC B+ after diodes.

What I don't want to end up with is an amp like the HK A300 or A500 - I had both of those years ago and didn't care much for the sound, even after upgrades. Had a hard time selling them too. Anyway, 12BY7 pentode is an odd tube for input, but you can't argue with the Citation II.

Thanks for info

Pete
