i mean - this is very strange - 100uF is not enough as a coupling capacitor...
when i was using only a buffer (without the tube part) the frequency range was perfectly o.k.... now.. it is not enough - what is happening there???

it seems like the input resistance of the buffer is a lot lower than it should be......
???
ohhh... btw - i just remebered..... i have a capacitor over a cathode resistor of the tube - it is 220uF capacitor - i have to check if that one is big enough...

o.k. - i tried also to change the cathode capacitor to a 550uF value - almost no change in the bass segment....
so it seems that the coupling cap between the tube and mosfet stage is not nearly enough like it should be ...

it looks almost like the tube stage is driving the mosfet stage that has an input impedance of 15-20R... how about that???

oh yes... it was sooo dead....

buffer was dead - i assume that the tube burned the mosfet because i didn't put any zener diodes between gate and source... idiot....
anyway.. i tried 12B4 part alone .. it drives the headphones like a charm - no problem ... 20mA, Ug=10V, Up=106V.... perfect... sound is powerfull and detailed... very clear... i will remove the buffer for now and make it with 12B4 only.... it works nice....
