Yes, Gordan, it is exactly what I heard about the 10s from the sources that I found rational. The huge plate impedance and a need of very high ration transformer is something that might stop some people who would like to drive 10 full-range but for DSET application it might be a very good tube. BTW, there were a huge variety of the 10 rubes made. Even the 10Y – there were too many of them that were too different. I am still contemplating to get 40K-50K transformer and to try the 10s before I decide where to go with my amps for MF channel. No on sadly makes off the shelf 40K transformer with limited inductance for DSET applications…

Trying to build an OPT with a very high impedance becomes difficult at best. The capacitance builds up from the additional layers and you get a bad HF roll-off and slew rate limiting. While I was reading your post, one odd thought came to mind. Perhaps get a pair of 10K - 15K OPTs with 16 ohm secondaries. Wire the primaries in series and the secondaries in parallel. Just a thought...
Regarding the 10S... the 1602 is a near identical replacement.
