hello ,

me again ...

me headphone for good pleasure 😀

so look is 🙄

Lem DH-1005L - 2 x 300 Ohms

not problem for me headphone , me tested " Queen , Scorpions , AC/DC " 😀

Nice build !

Many OTL headphone amp have an high output impedance which make them not sounding very good with low impedance cans such as Grado (fostex, denon, audio-technica ...).

Beyerdynamic 600ohms, Sennheiser 300-600omhs & "old" AKG 400-600ohms or which where designed with 110ohms output impedance in mind (k701) are far more appropriate in that usage.

Bose headphones are highly NOT well regarded among headphones fan...

lol , me crazy , so build ...build ... very good passion to use old tube 😀

many thank 😉
 
P = V²/R, and not V²/R²

since V=I*R, so I=V/R and P=V*I, which makes P=(U*U)/R

Assuming 'crete at crete' means peak to peak, 15Vpp = 5,3Vrms. So P=5.3²/16 = 1,7Wrms into 16 ohms(!) That's impossible with your given schematic.

Are you sure your probes aren't set at 10x while the scope presumes 1x??

Because that would make 1,5Vpp = 0,53Vrms. P=0,53²/16 = 17,5mWrms. Now that's a number that makes a lot more sense.
Since gain is quite high, you'll probably feeding the ECC82's grid with about 0.3Vpp. Anything more and distortion will be much too great.

hello ,

okey , i me crazy for bad calculate 🙁 .

so calibrate is 0.5 V for division , no possible 15 V , no no , 1.5 V ... , pfff me escuse to not re looking me calculate 🙄

so good appréciate me build :cheers:
