Disclaimer: I hold nothing against feedback or its intended use...
this amp was merely an experiment to see if it was possible to build
an amp with no feedback.My current amp is a 2-stage homebrew. Driver is a 6c45 with
battery bias in the cathode. It is CCS'd ala a Gary Pimm
style CCS and DC coupled to the output stage. The Output stage
is a KR super tube (300B like) in Parafeed. It has its own entirely
seperate split power supply and is also CCS'd (using a KT90!).The driver has 0 ohms unbypassed and the output stage has 0 ohms
unbypassed. Both stages derive their bias from a power supply.
In the case of the driver, it is from the battery. In the case
of the output tube, it is from the delta between the split supplies.No feedback!
The soundstage goes out to the moon.
