Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

RE: 6CB5 ... yep

Long Tail Pair. Check out Pete Millett's site, and his E-Linear KT88 amp. His is SE, so a few modifications are needed to mirror it for PP. The seemingly trivial one I favour being a resistor dropping for the input stage's g2 supply, and capacitor bypass to the cathode node, instead of his SE implementation which used a VR tube ref'd to ground. Now in his SE deal, the ground, and cathode are much closer to being the same thing due ot the bypass cap on the cathode...in a LTP, the cathodes are decidedly not at ground, AC or otherwise. While the voltage is small, the difference matters; g2 is a sensitive node.
cheers,
