Paul, don't get me wrong--normally I'm not choosing a tube by the power, but this situation is somehow special.There are very few tubes which have the right electrical parameters (gm, mu, power, etc) to start with. In thesmall tubes word one can glaz...

[quote user="vuki"]Anyway, my plan was to make powerful triode NFBless amplifier for relatively small money. I'm really satisfied with what I did. Maybe I should have done GM70 SE, but what would be my next project then?[/quote] The GM70 is a bitch a...

Jim, yes, I use the 6E5P as triode, I never tried tetrodes, never has needs to do it. I have somebody tried them as tetrodes and commented negatively about their sound. I do not know if it is true – it what “they say”. Ironically I do not like how th...

Yeah, I'm a little slow here. Had very busy week pumping out machines. I do have two custom tube adapter cards built. One traces two separate 6e5p at same time (great for comparing). The other is for 6c33. So it's just a...

[quote]BTW, Jim, when will we see your version of amp with 6E5P driver? :-)[/quote]Well, I have to admit it makes a beautiful triode. Wonderful linearity, low output impedance, and super-high gm. Looks a lot like the 6H30, which was my dr...

Hi Cat,It seems the 6e5p is driving the transformer directly. I've used various versions of even simple mosfet followers to good effect at the headphone level, but never considered using a speaker level transformer. Did you and Dmitry cons...

[quote user="Paul S"]What is the "reverse engineering" version of an SET circuit that would accomplish - in terms of audible results - what you want? The reason I suggest 3 stages is only because I see a gap between required input and necessary outp...

I have never used EL34 in triode, but I think it is not hard to find acceptable examples of this fast, reliable tube, and with conservative bias it should let your 6E5P "shine through", if that's what you want. Nothing like 811, 845, etc. in this re...

Celsius, I think you do not take in your equation the input voltage. If you bias 6E5P with 4.1V then it can pass 4V with no feedback. Since the tube has under normal circumstances 33 times gain then you have 132V RMS from your driver stage, wish is ...

[quote user="vuki"] To tell you the truth I was already very satisfied with sound, but I just wanted to make that powerful triode amplifier - I really don't need it. But it's nice to have it. As you know in this hobby it's not so much about the end o...

N-set, I understand you do not mean to hijack the thread with the Axiom, so I actually tried to make generic and/or thread-related observations. I don't know the 6E5P, but generic issues with specific DC tank circuits and driver and output tube stab...

Sorry Romy, i can't tell you about life longevity of 6E5P in my amp 'cause i'm not using them there anymore :)For my speakers two-stage SE sounded much nicer, more balanced and clear with more volume. Well at least it was easy to predict, considering...

This thread has triggered some old stupid sentiments. Feel free to remove this post if irrelevant. I've been thinking how to rationalize my old design in the present context and make it less idiotic.First, know the enemy. I don't know the enemy. I as...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I was thinking about this: how come that driving 6C33C (in fact driving anything one can imagine) the 6E5P was very fine but driving 2A3 it was dull like hell. I opened the amp and tested all – everything was perfect but th...

Dear Romy,
I have been reading the threads on GoodSoundClub about your journey with development of the Melquiades and Super Melquiades amplifiers. They are very interesting to me. I am pleased that your purpose was to produce a particula...

[quote user="cv"] Consider a triode connected 13E1. 95W dissipation, will probably work beautifully with the existing OPT if you adjust the gap down and if you can rewire your arrays to present a somewhat higher impedance.Something like 400V-450V / 2...

I received a comment form people who reportedly well-familiar with using the high-frequency high gain tubes. They suggested me that the resistor between screen and grid (R23) might be eliminated and that would bring some benefits. It very much might ...

[quote user="drdna"] Well, and I have a dozen of them sitting here next to my desk while I am building my Milq amp s-l-o-w-l-y so I guess I will discover my audio intelligence level sometime after the New Year.[/quote]

Jim,
It is miniature tube that can handle 8W on plate!!! Still the most interesting it’s sound as triode. If you look its internals constriction then you will see a pair of huge “plates” and a large space for the “electron cloud”, it kind of in a w...

I have to admit that although the Macondo “Water Drop Tweeter” sounds very good but I do not have that “shocking sound” that I got from the “Water Drop” during my initial introduction to it. I kind of always felt it and I thought that I get use t...

[quote user="Paul S"] I have been surprised that you have not already pursued the Zarathustra for your multi-driver, sealed LF. From your early descriptions of both, this seemed like a natural pairing and the most likely way to go, to keep the ...

Romy, Some very good points here... if I downloaded the correct schematic from your site for the 6-channel Melq amp (also has the term DSET in the title) then you have created a 6-channel SET amp with built-in crossover points. Your first ...
