Has anyone ever seen a SE Triode amp (or schematic) that uses a 26 as the output tube and a 71A as the driver? Or vice-versa?
Thanks
Thanks
Output Transformer Type
This may be the acme of stupid questions and may not even be able to be answered here. But I'm gonna try. As I posted earlier, I'm building a 26/71A amplifier. I'll drive the 71A with a 26 or I may drive the 26 with the 71A. So, the question is: What output transformer should I be looking for as far as the primary winding? Secondary will of course be 8 ohm. 2,000, 5,000, etc...
Thanks
BTW, unlike you guys, I don't know a lot about electronics. I definitely couldn't design an amp.

as friendly advise i will not build a DHT/DHT at first you will have to fight with sensible filament supply , microphony , and in need of of high gain preamp or 1:8 transformer input .
i can assure you that with a much simple Spud amp with E55L or 6EP5 you will get the same result and no needs of fancy power supply CCS or interstage.
i have both SE one E55L SPud and one 46/71A SET ( 2watts vs 0.8watts)

...stupid questions ... drive the 71A with a 26 or I may drive the 26 with the 71A. ...What output transformer...
Not stupid. Ignorant. Ignorance can be cured.
Read the datasheets!!!

'26 is clearly specified as "RF and AF stages" meaning small-signal.
'71 is said to be "power amplifier".
And happy working conditions for '71 are right in the datasheet.
Note that '26 and '71 need very different filament supplies.
