Srrp output question

Hi,

Not familiar with the 6N30, but most SRPP, especially if high bias, can drive nails.

+150V isn't a lot for a totem pole, and each section will only have ~75V across them, but that looks perfect from the specs.

Anode current is rated 40mA, so 20mA through each totem would probably be a right balance for Gm, noise and tube life.

Depending on the cathode voltage needed, consider using LED's for bias... their impedance and noise is low and you can lose the cathode cap.

As for Vp-p out, that depends on what THD you want to take it at. Likely enough to cook a SS amp input stage before you even hit 0.5% ;)

:2c:

Cheers!
