Parafeeding a push pull
Mumble mumble ... I searched the forums but I didn't find any post on parafed push-pull stage.
Probably I am missing the point but I think that leaving the dc supply out of the tranny can be welcome also in a push-pull. The tubes can be loaded by a (large choke) and capacitor coupled to the OPT. Any comment or reference to look at? :confused: Gianluca |

Why? It will only help dealing with the dc flux due to tube imbalance. A high price to pay for this. I use airgapped PP transformers and this seems a simple solution for a lazy a*s*s |
I suggested parafeed in a PP amp in the following thread. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showt...threadid=53241
My concern wasn't magnetic flux. Old low voltage "iron" had been salvaged from SS equip. I suggested parafeed as a way to protect the insulation in the trafos from the B+ rail. |
Well tube balancing is one aspect. I was considering that a parafed PP trans can be winded with smaller gauge wires, as no DC current will flow, giving smaller dimensions.
The real question should be: can this improve the THD and freq/time response as the leakage inductance and stray capacitance can be made smaller? Probably it would be a negligible effect and, that's an adverse effect, you are adding a capacitor in the signal path. Actually the question came out while considering the possibility of using an old SE trans for a PP stage. Gianluca |
