NewBee PPEL84

[juxanouille]

Hi, EveryBody. I just find this forum at the good time for me. Indeed, I'm building my own PPEL84 Amp and I need some advice to continue. This Amp will be used to understand tube amplification and to improve my knowledge in this field.
Above, my schema build on spice.
I don't knnow how to simulate the output transfo so don't be careful to the 4 resistor at the right of EL84, it's in fact the place for the transformator.

If you have some advice or if you see some trouble ou my schema!! I'm interested in!

Sorry, so the schema is below! Thank's !

Globug's advice to post pix directly here is excellent. If you do not see "Manage Attachments" you will see an option for "Go Advanced" click this and you will see "manage attachments."

Which version of spice are you using? Usually for a simple transformer model you calculate the inductance ratio between primary and secondary based on the square of the numerical ratio, select a reasonable primary inductance. Use the K directive K1 L1 L2 Lx 1 (coupling coefficient) to make a simple transformer where Lx is the last inductor to be combined into the transformer - should see the specifics under help. This will give you an ideal transformer which for most purposes is reasonable.

Welcome to the forum..

OK, thank's for the advice! I changed resistor by linear transformator. It seem's that's working. Fine.

What do you think about the volume Control and the impedance of the input?

[juxanouille]

How can I reduce the gain of the preamp stage without reducing the bandwith of this stage. With 2V peak to peak the gain is to much higher for the EL84 . I need a gain about 5 to 8.

I tried with resistors before the first tube but the bandwith reduce proportionally with the value of the resisor. I suppose that I need a high impedance input for CD player?

I hope you can help.

Use a tube with less gain like a 6n1p. Alternately, replace the 47K anode resistor of the first tube with two resistors that sum 47K and serve as a voltage divider. This way you can adjust the gain.
