Hi Calpoly1998 Welcome to diyAudio. I think that you probably should post in the Tubes forum Tubes / Valves - diyAudio

in fact I have moved it

Hi!

Some comments:

The max grid leak resistance for the 813 is 50k Ohm and for the 6HV5A 100kOhm

The 6HV5A will not work well with resistor plate load. I recommend a choke load or transformer coupling

The 6HV5A does not need DC heater, AC will work without hum

Besides that there are some drawing errors in the schematic:

813 is shown as indirectly heated and marked 300B
The 6HV5A doesnot have a screen grid
The rectifier in the bias supply is missing

Best regards

Thomas

The driver looks like normal grid driver, but the 813 ouput is configured as a cascode.... I think the grid and cathode have their connexions swapped.

Where's the 813's screen?

Looks like someone took a schematic from someplace and changed the plate voltage value and the bias value.

No way are the cathode and grid connections swapped, you can't connect the grid or the cathode to the plate supply and have it work...

Is this a class project? At "Cal Poly"??

Hi!

Connect pin 3 of the 6HV5 to the cathode, not to plate!

You might want to look at the schematic of my 211 amp which uses the 6HV5A as driver:

VinylSavor: Making of a 211 Amplifier, Part 1: Planning

I recommend to run the 6HV5 at a higher voltage and more current. A step down interstage will provide a more reasonable gain and nice low impedance drive to the output tube

Best regards

Thomas

Did you fix the grid bias supply? Somewhere you have to have a diode in there.
