Another crummy amp by Poinz! ;-)If you haven't looked yet, the El-Cheapo uses cathode bias and has a WAY overbuilt power supply, as well as a CCS for the phase inverter/driver. It also uses a 6AL5/diode hybrid bridge for the - supply for the CCS.
Eli and I wanted El-Cheapo to be scalable with just a change of iron and output tubes essentially. We think it would make the basis for a KILLER 7591A amp if the 6V6 can't make enough power for a particular person's needs. And of course, we wanted it to be CHEAP! The parts (other than the chassis, the iron and a few odds and ends) come to just over $100.00.
As well, we often used parts that I use in my kits since the economies of scale made the price competitive with lower grade parts.
All kidding aside, that's a darn nice amp you put together there!
