the devil in the interstage

Hi Scholl,

I agree, the problem is coming up with an interstage that can handle phase splitting *and* handle the voltage drive requirements of a DHT output stage. Finding none, we gave up on that approach.

Instead, we use the superb LL1676 input transformer from Lundahl, which gives beautifully symmetrical phase splitting and excellent bandwidth (~8 Hz - 140 kHz). This allows the use of push-pull interstage transformers in the subsequent higher-level stages. The Lundahls have also served us well in these applications.

The only trouble is that the LL1676 isn't easy to drive, so must be fed from a low impedance. Gotta get that new Raven done!
