You can see how I got roughly 20 vac here in the attached link and what I used.
Remember that my amp is just a think piece trying out technologies and ideas that would reduce weight. It sounds very good on well recorded pieces with incredible detail. However, it can sound quite shrill on less well recorded pieces. Tracking down what is causing what has been a matter of trial and error, but it has been fun.
From past experience with a line stage, the detail comes from using the 6S17K-V input tube. I think the shrillness comes from my implementation of the high voltage from the 48 vdc smps units. Shielding helped as well as using some capacitors, but I think I have more work to do.
As to the halogen units, I doubt that they affect the sound all that much compared to the other issues going on in my amp. In any event, try them and see if they work for you. They certainly are cheap enough.
