OK, I think I get it, except you will have a sand bridge along with your crap-load of Farads guarding ground, and your PS out feeds all six "channels", including the DC MF without dividers?

The biggest question I have now is to kill my 6-8dB in crossover on the grid of the driver stage (my VERT much leading idea), to separate driver anode load and  to drop a cap between  the loading and dropping resistors to ground, or to use another lower gain tube

I will certainly go for a voltage divider in driver grid combining the filter and voltage dropper. I measured today everything and I figured out the I need to drop 6.5dB to be even, it means that if I drop 4dB then I will sufficiently remove the unnecessary stressing voltages from grids and will have some ~1dB reserve to play with gain on the secondary of my OPT, in case the tubes have different gain or something like this… I decided to do tame fate with different driver. The sound of SET in mostly comes from the sound of the driver, so I would like to keep the all chem. Of the Melquiades to be in a way the same and do converts the DSET idea into the ordinary multi-amping.

Ok, here is what I end up with. This version is something that I am planning to give some listening, the fist listening as I this filtered down the intellectuals reasons do not listen it. The amp is fully operational, bit made as a test amp inside the 6Ch-Milq. To finish it would require juts to use better wires and a few better parts…  .  Anyhow, let see how this sucker will sound.

I actually was listening the amp today all day. Was listening my favorite mono recordings, driving my right channel from the old 6-ch Milq with single stage MF and driving the left channel with new 6-ch Milq with 2-stages DC-compiled DH. It was very interesting and very generally I like what I heard. The 2-stages MF amp sounded exactly how I would like to – a bit more contrasty, a bit more dynamic and a bit more expressive. In other word the 2-stages MF amp sound very much how the 1-stages MF amp would sound if I was able to load the 1-stages MF amp twice or trice idler. It kind of surprising how in a way similar the 1-stage and 2-stage sound, despite how much different they are. The 1-stage still is a bit more attractive by its softness and elegance but the 2-stage run on garbage parts, in prototype version… so the 2-stage has a lot of room for improvement. I think I need to finish is as is as it looks like a right direction to go… I have my spare “brisk” and I need to evaluate how well everything else.
