Re: Don does use AC on 45 based amps

I like my banana fiber speakers better --- I use fostex speakers
and 6B4G's. I had to use simple DC on my SET amp -- the 6B4G's
humm way to much on AC. From what I have seen on the net, every
body sugests constant current sounds better than DC heating.
If I had rebuild my amp I am thinking of simple transistor/9.1 volt
zener ,regulator for 8.4 volts @ 1.1 amps and have a 2 1 ohm resitors
give me pesudo constant current to my 6B4G's. ( Note that is
6.2 volts @ 1 amp but still with in ratings of the tube )
I use about 60 MA but have a 3.4K output transformer, rather than
say a 2.5K one.
