When is better ? Capacitor or Transformer Interestage. No which one is better.

Yes, for an old type 50, a grid choke will work better than a grid leak resistor.

Is it easier to operate a 6550/KT88 than a 300B triode with RC coupling ?

What do you mean by easier? There's absolutely nothing wrong with RC coupling on a 300B.

I am thinking to use a KT88 UL mode , in a second project.

 

[audiowize]

KT88 in UL mode will require some feedback to work properly, so an interstage transformer is not a good idea.

Ok , but D3a RC KT88 ?

D3a is enough for the KT88 ?

What do you mean that's enough?

Trioded D3a (with active load) produces "enough" swing (up to 200Vpp) to drive almost any tube ... with appropriate driver (low output impedance, enough current to drive grid etc.).

This was my dude.

How many Vpp are enough to drive a KT88 6550 tube.

What do you think? 😛
