In context of the recent changes in my playback regarding the electricity and the consequential effects:

I have revised and reinstated my interest in the DHT experiment. In addition to anything I need gain and transients now, so the single-stage DHT with input transformer might not work.

I did not have a line of people with DHT who know in my door with offers, so I need to do it my own. I bought a Sun Audio SV-2A3 kit juts for a sake of prototyping the sound I would like to get and when I found what I like I will implement it in Milq MF channel (if the DHT turn out to be a direction to go).

Sometimes after the New Year and will put the SV-2A3 kit together, with necessary changes and perhaps will convert it to 6E5P-2A3, Milq-type amp. The kit is very flexible, has multiple filaments voltages and multiple primaries and secondarys in on output transformers. In addition to those generic Tamuras I have a couple of my  transformers that are more HF optimized and can handle 2A3, 6A3, 300B, 45 and the rest of them with plate user 2K.

My mild concern with DHT was that they are costly and fragile in live but I have a tendencies to run my Melquiades’ for many hours and days without caring about the live-span of the tubes. Then I figured that in a few days the pilot Mini-Me speaker will be done (my mash saps bed the end of the year) and if it tune out to be good then it might take a lot of dally tube load out of the Melquiades shoulder…

Well, let see what happen next. Who knows if the modified Sun Audio SV-2A3 kit turn out to be an OK full-range amps then I might sell it after I found right MF configuration for myself. In meanwhile, if anyone has any proposal what tube to try in the Sun Audio audio kit’s output stage then let me know. The only condition I have at this point is that I would like to drive the output heater with AC. I think it might be extra fun to drive the DHT heater with good sounding sinusoid. The next step will be driving the 2A3 filament with 44.1 kHz…
