Is it a horrible thing to drive you power tube's with solid state.

Cool I wanted to make sure I won't get kicked out of the forum if I did
I was thinking about using an TI amp chip to run each channel the only thing Is it has a 4 ohm out so I would have to use a output transformer in reverse. Now would that raise eyebrows? Nick |

It idepends on what kind of solid state device you use.

This approach is used in some homebrew AM transmitters to drive plate modulators, when solid state power amp drives output toobs through inverted P-P output transformer.

At max power 20khz it only produces 1%thd thats well bellow the audible range of humans 15%thd.
I didnt think that was to bad but if it wolud make the amp noisy I'll look for something else. Nick |

I doubt your numbers. Especially with no description of the spectral content. There will be a distinct difference in the audibility threshold depending on odd v. even, and what the decay with increasing order looks like. I beleive you could probably pick out 1% if it were either all first even( 2nd harmonic ), or all third harmonic. cheers, Douglas

It depends on spector of distortions. Some distortions are well audible way below 1 percent.
