It is unquestionably an ambiguous project. The topmost question that I would ask myself after this project would be the following: can Milq-biased 6E5P to be as good (sound-wise) DC driver as some vintage direct heated tubes. I did ask thin question myself after I implement my MF DSET but I do not have the answer.

The design is elastic, I've spent great time simulating and then specifying PSU's,
so putting a DHT driver should not be a problem.

After a second thought on the subject, I realized that if the Stax people are right and Omega's need around
800Vpp-1kVpp swing to sing, I need a driver with mu of at least 25 or so, esp. when power are 2A3.
Difficult to get witha DHT keeping a simple 2 stage topology.
