Many moons ago i collected basically all the parts for a PSE Tube Amp based on a pair of 2A3's, but never got around to actually building it, i believe i struggled to find chokes with low enough R and a few other minor components.
Schematic:
Interests have changed slightly, i'm currently using a Salas DCB feeding a Fetzilla into a pair of Dali Evidence 470s, but am getting a pair of decent(Massdrop x Sennheiser 58X, Z=150) cans this summer and i figured i have a few options.
Either jerry-rigging a headphone out on the Fetzilla(boring), or
Building an existing dedicated HP amp(getting somewhere now), or
Trying my hand at doing something slightly more customized this time around(yay)
So, i put it to you good folks here at diyAudio, looking at the schematic above, could there be a hybrid amp in there somewhere?
I looked at Alex Cavalli's CTH, especially in the Massdrop version currently for sale at $250, some kind of hybrid design, it seems a lot of folks have built that one with good results.
I'm kind of intrigued by interstage transformers(huge Sakuma-san fan), could one of those serve as a output transformer driving a pair of cans perhaps? I think i'd want to accommodate a Zout of 150 and 300.
Hmm should've searched the forums before, off to do that now
Thanks in advance folks!

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
