Idea for a 2 tube 6080 PP amp.

You need 200V caps for the output. You can probably get down to some value as low as 470uf each cap.
On the input you need 400V.

I have always used dead Switch Mode Power supplies for cap sourcing - they usually have a pair of 250V or 400V caps hidden away.

Another great tip Shoog - I found a MOT on EBAY - $13 each and a $1 light ballast. Better start thinking about the chassis

Shoog -- I would be very interested to see this - if possible would like to see the PS section as well including the pwer source for the 6as7 CCS. Now I am thinking to build a hifi of this first and then perhaps later a bass amp. thx.
