6S45 = 6C45 ?

Simple 6C45 power amp here:
http://www.paeng-design.com/devices_frame.htm
(in section: High ó tubes, Part 111)

Adapt to headphone by changing transformer ratio?

6C45 datasheet suggests limited input swing / bias, so will need attenuator at input if using 2V output from CD player.

Anecdotal evidence suggests 6C45 oscillates easily, so use well regulated supply and grid stopper resistors.

More info here:

...and also in projects section of the site.


Good luck. : )
