few months ago i was to ETF european triode festival in France
VinylSavor: ETF 2018 in France
and the shootout was win by Gilles we discover the wonderfull sound of power grid transmitting dht triode 100TH
i just fall in love!
these triodes need 24H heather a year to be safe
the best of thems are eimac wings plate tantalum platinium thorium etc

the proto amp i build sound fantastic input stage 6SN7 and CF choke loaded driver parallel 6BX7 direct coupled to 100TH grid
enjoy

That’s a very beautiful amp. I guest it sound great!
But you probably post the wrong schematic since I do not see 6bx7 in your schematic?

power grid should be positive and draw current so direct coupled to driver cathode yes

Hello all !
I just finished two 100TH monoblocks and the sound is amasing, power and clarity from highs to lows without fatigue.
Far away from a tubby sound !
The power is 20 watts rms.

Yes it is.
22-24 ma 100TH grid current , 33-36 volt positive.
These very good Chantam are scarce to find !

Beautiful, félicitations ! 👍 IMO nothing beats the looks of that spherical bottle & magnificent light.
Does any of you 100th builders have an opinion on Lewis & Kaufman JAN-CBOP-100TH ? They are available locally. I'm slowly gathering parts for a build myself.

Those sharp looking Mullards with the ice blue beams between the discs are coming in a close second for me. This is VT "porn" at its best - thanks for making me feel what it's like to "want" again ;') Look but dont touch!
Hello, I have some L&K 100TH, they are ok and thé sound is perhaps a little less refined vs wings Eimac,
usually they polarise hotter than Eimac in same circuit .
I had one faultly but you always need more 100TH you need because some are bad by all makers.

Thank you Gillou, I'll try my luck with them.
@claudiomas: Are you still running them at 1.1kv & 90mA with Toroidy TTG-EL34SE?
Those sound like an economical solution & I'm happy with their stuff so far.
Cheers,

Quoting a past friend referring to his beloved Telecaster thinline "if this amp was a woman, I'd marry it". Imagine how my SS class D feels after me saying that? "You better buy me new output inductors!"Behold a whole new market: When the blue pills fail, turn on the blue lights
this amp still running but with SV572/160 , the TL304SE run with four 100TH, two in parallel each channelBehold a whole new market: When the blue pills fail, turn on the blue lights
