ecc99 with which Interstage Transformer?

[AudioGeek]

I am planning on using the ECC99 at the 150vdv -4v 18mA operating point.

Looking for a good 1:1 IT to load it with.

I am probably going with the Lundahl stuff... but unsure which one?

Also, should I parallel the 2 sections of the ECC99 for 36mA?

finally, would a grid choke on the input make any difference?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Richard,

I assume you are planning this as a single ended IT so my experience is only of general use to you. I have LL1660S IT's which I use with 6n6p in PP. I think the 6n6p is similar to ECC99. The IT upgrade was a nice improvement for me changing from a cap coupled LTP. Seems more lifelike and realistic. The IT's seem to provide better drive to the output tubes and the amp seems more powerful.

If you want to use Lundahl transformers, The K&K forum over at AA is your best shot. Kevin is very knowledgeable about the products he sells. Having engineering support from a knowledgeable reseller is very cool.

Just a satisfied customer.

Back to this post again.

Would the Sowter 9525 be a good choice.

Hey A-Geek,
Why not go for a transformer from bifilar-specialist Dave Slagle at intact audio. He custom-makes every transformer to its use.
