Parallel Single Ended Amplifier Design using Acro TO-290s?
Have come into some NOS Acrosound TO-290 OTs and was wondering if they would be good to use in a parallel single ended amplifier.
Also wondering if there are some schematics around. Thanks Lar |

Sorry Lar, these are push-pull transformers and cannot be used as singel ended. Not directly at least. They cannot stand unbalanced DC current in the primary. You would have to para-feed them through a big capacitor in series with the primary while choke loading the tube's plate. And at 12,000 ohm impedance you'd probably be better off with a single tube.
