Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Need some opinions and maybe a lot of help with 300B design.




Hi all. I have had a 396A linestage half built for a few years. Just couldn't find the time to finish it. I had all the parts already procured for a 12B4A amplifier to go with it. Both designs were designed around Magnequest iron. After buying a SE 6L6G and listening for a few weeks I feel I need more watts per channel. I'm using a pair of FE206Es in reflex cabinets so I would guess they are about 97 dB 1w/1m in a fairly small room but the 6L6s just don't have enough grunt as nice as they sound. So I came up with a design for a 300B amplifier that utilizes parts I already own. I will need to buy some chokes and a power transformer but I have most of it. Here is what I have so far. A 396A transformer coupled to a 12B4A which is driving a 300B. Initial thoughts?

Gavin
