6C45PI contant current source

[MIKET]

Has anyone out there used the 6C45PI with a contant current source? This would seem an ideal way to use this tube.

Some test results here.

Depends what you're trying to accomplish I s'pose.

Depletion Mode MOSFET current source

The current souce I had in mind was on this site
Cascade connected Depletion Mode MOSFET's Rev 4.d

REepletion Mode MOSFET current source

Hi,

The CCS your link is pointing at is one from fellow member Bas Horneman.

I think it's inspired by yet another members' pioneering work namely, Gary Pimm.

Small world, ain'it?

Cheers,

Hi MIKET,

In fact, I have used a constant current source on a 6C45Pi tube. This is used as an output amplifying stage in common cathode configuration after a passive I/V conversion of a TDA1541 DAC. The ccs I used is Gary Pimm' s BBMCCCS.
Previously, the output stage was used with a resistor as an anode load. Changing to the ccs, the difference I heard was HUGE. What I was reading about the benefits of the ccs was in front of me. This is not an expensive (like an anode choke) or dificult upgrade and I think you should try it.
Soon, I will post in the Digital forum my experience with the TDA1541 DAC.
