In the Thread: Single Ended Pentode to go?

Post Subject: Hmmm... DSEP?Posted by Paul S on: 5/20/2014

I once saw a phono stage that used sand diodes, and I have seen an interesting "tank circuit" amp that uses tube diodes +/- like a "buffer". Of recent "popular" amp designs, I have seen a lot of triode PP, but I think this is the first SE pentode I have seen. Now that you know you like it, are you up for DSEP (as opposed to DSET)?

Of resistors, some are softer (or harder) than others. Not suggesting you change anything, but Tantalum can be harder, and the ones like Romy's pre-amp uses can be hard, as well, in certain applications (like the grid, for example). Of course, "hard" is as "hard" does...

Best regards,
Paul S
