fiogf49gjkf0d It is not that I will be experimenting with 10Y in Milq's F channel
but I need to admit that I always loved 10Y and not only because I happened to
have a good selection of them. It is a pain in ass tube with high voltage but
with very promising sonic capacity. So, it is natural that when I read at PF
review of Thomas Mayer 10Y I got homey. I do not know who Thomas Mayer 1 is,
what he does and I do not read German. However, the idea that someone still do today
a pure 10Y makes very happy…

fiogf49gjkf0d Thomas is a German with a blog in english. I am sure that you know who he is:
http://vinylsavor.blogspot.de
He is a guy with a soldering iron and an affinity for unusual tubes. I am not sure if uniqueness is more important than sonics. Looking at the site does not show me any real sonic development over the years, rather just pretty and unique tube stuff - also for the DIYourselfer.

fiogf49gjkf0d They might have played anything to show off the system capabilities...

Hm, I did not realize that that it was a preamp. I thought that
it was a hybrid power amp. In preamp the Y10 probably might sit at lower
voltage. I have no idea how can they talk about preamp and do not talk about
what output impedance it has. The Y10 with OPT it would not be too low… To me
it would be fun to have Y10 as power amp with some kind of interesting driver.
