Currently I have Jack Elliano’s made 450mA, large, single section LF transformer that begin to roll somewhere around 800Hz. The transformer ha s a lot of core mass and at full Melquiades’ LF power (~20W) it begins to clip around 7.5Hz. The transformer loads the full 6C33C surprisingly hard, somewhere around 250Ohm, but I do this strange load not because power considerations but the very freaky response of my LF drivers to higher load – they juts sound  more properly this way.

Ok, sorry for being a Moron. I have no idea what kind mental illness attacked me when I wrote the paragraph above but what I said bugged me for a couple days until last nigh when I decided to figure out what I actually do and how I load my LF 6C33C. I have lost the data on the transformer and I called Jack and asked him what the specification I requested two and a half year ago. It turned out that I loaded my 6C33C with a pretty conventional load. My current LF tube is using a transformer 5R to 700R, so it is does not load to 6C33C to 250R as I mistakable said above. All the rest was correct in there.  BTW, I has been decided that Jack and I will be shooting for the similar LF amorphous core little monster…. It will be fun….
