FM,I am considering modifying my 211 amp to try it at lower power. Can you suggest a suitable operating point? I am assuming that you have experience of such a beast. Can you tell me how the sound differs?

Here are some operating points for such a 211 courtesy of Stereo Sound Japan.plate volts 480
plate current 40 madcgrid volts -20
load resistance 10,000
mu of 12
power output 2600 milliwatts
now... if I could only talk the big man from Cinci into doing a public domain schmematic of this in parafeed. Would love to hear this myself.
One thing... man, that 211 would have to have a lifespan measured in decades. Grid easy to drive... not much plate current...
Hey Dave S.--- run through this like you did in the other post. I enjoyed reading your commentary.
have fun folks,

Mikey and Gang,One thing you could do is use the BCP-125 to load the 211 and use a parafeed 10K.
The power trans could also be small if you used say a Signal Transformer unit for the filaments.
Best bet would be like a 417/5842 running at 10ma (best place for these suckers) cap coupled to a choke loade 211 using the BCP16-GCNI. I really have nothing that can measure this sucker, but would put the inductance at like 1500H. This configuration yields 2.75W class A but would go to A2 pretty darn easy!
I will offer this up... If someone can get me a pair of WE242's I would be happy to up another DIY projected tried and tested on ETM.

I'm sorry I don't have any 242's to lend.I hope some one does because I wanna build this amp you are scheming up!Does anybody how close the 242 and 211 are related?I thought the 242 was WE version of the 211.

Mikey,I've taken the bait, over on Bottlehead.

Yep can you tell me too please?I have discovered the SV811-10 is very dynamic at 300v zero bias.
Oh, and against all convention I prefer the 300b at low voltage, it out 2a3's a 2a3 at 2a3 operating points, but then why spend the money on a 300b just to use it as a 2a3?
S'pose you need more like 500v on the 211, zero bias agin? That's just so easy, bias with a piece of wire, no cap no resistor.
