Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

RE: That's not a differential input

You've never seen me use a SS voltage amplifier. As of now, the only place I'd be comfortable with SS voltage amplification is in Allen Wright's hybrid cascode LOMC phono setup.

BTW, I do own a Klyne model 1 LOMC "head" amp, which is 100% SS, but that unit has a well proven track record. Some folks can make SS "dance", Stan Klyne and Nelson Pass to name 2.

FETs, being high impedance, voltage controlled, devices, mate well with tubes. FETs make excellent current amplifiers (voltage followers). While it is an over simplification, think of a FET as a heaterless pentode. :>D

I'm a pragmatist. If a lump of galena yielded good sound (it definitely does not), I'd use it.
