Default diagram for OTP 6.6K valve KT88

Dear all
i have OTP PP, power 50-70W, UL point 40%, 6.6K, but i don't find any schematic diagram for this OTP
If you have it, pls help me (PP diagram or UL-PP are good)
thank

hey-Hey!!!,
Do you mean the hook-up diagram; or wiring code? ( what wire goes to which plate and g2? etc. )
cheers,
Douglas

I have that OTP, but 6.6K is not populer, 5K is more common. In some schematic diagram, i don't find the paramet of OTP, so i want a schematic diagram, used OTP of 6.6K PP and i can DIY amplifier with my 6.6K OTP
thank

Do you need schematic of the amplifier circuit or the schematic of the PP OPT?

If you need the schematic of an amplifier using KT88 in PP, you can use schematics that uses 5K OPTs and use your 6.6K OPT. Power will be a little bit lower (hardly noticeable) but distortion will be lower too.

HTH.

Danchu,

Your 6.6 KOhm "iron" is a perfect match for 6L6GC O/P tubes. All sorts of circuits using 6L6s can be found.

Are you building a HIFI amp or is a guitar amp the objective? If HIFI is what you are after, you could do much worse than emulating the Harman/Kardon Citation V. Look here.

thank eli duttman
but my OTP is very big, power about 50-70W, so amply with KT88 more suitable
if you have anyschematic diagram of amplifier PP of KT88

Danchu,

The end to end impedance of your O/P "iron" is WRONG (too big) for use with KT88s. If you look at the 6L6GC data sheet, you will see that obtaining 50+ W. from a PP pair is not at all difficult. If you a willing to deal with the complexities of DC coupled MOSFET source follower drive, pushing the tubes into a positive control grid current regime (Class "AB2") is OK, as 6L6 control grids can safely dissipate some power.

hey-Hey!!!,
So there you have the power stage. The rest is up to you. What does the front end of a PP stage need to do? Usually it is convert SE input to amplified PP output( to the power KT88 g1's). It would be easier to tell you how not to do it, than attempt describing all the ways it can be done.
cheers,
Douglas
