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

RE: conjunctive filtering

Paul, Thanks for that great explanation. In my experience the effect of this output filter appears to have a similar effect as using a zobel network on a cone speaker. It tightens the sound at the expense of some excitement. I have used a 5K resistor in series with a .01mF cap, both in parallel with SE transformer primary. The filter seems to tame ragged frequency response and it seems that the amp can drive the load with less tubby flabby loose low end with a somewhat rolled and "tame" HF. ( does it stabilize output impedence???). I have mixed feelings about the result but overall it is somewhat beneficial with my 6SF5 RC coupled to triode strapped EL34 into a Tomiko 2.5K SE OPT into various speakers, Dayton PS220, Altec 420, infinity overture 1s etc....It seems like a useful tool for 'scrapbox' amps made from less than exotic parts. Input from other enthusiasts welcomed, Thanks, David Calvello
