Aldovan,
It seems you've been busy with your 3C24 design since the last thread with the 3C24:
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/tubes-valves/119368-3c24se-amp.html
It looks like you added some larger cased SS devices on the chassis from an earlier video clip:
YouTube - 3C24 SE class A2 amplifier (red plates)
Can you comment on any design changes and what, if any, sonic changes it resulted in? Also, any idea on how many hours you've put on this amp?
BTW - for others, the earlier thread contains some 3C24 schematics, one from Tossie in Japan and one I did not that long ago on a breadboard.
Regards, KM

3c24 amplifier
Hi,
Yes, I modify the circuit with good results.
My actual design use a BU208 transistor in emitter follower for excite direct the 3C24, with a good improvement in the sound quality.
My next modification will be a change of input tube.
Actually I use a 6N6P and I will put a 5751 for more gain and quality.
I put a lot of hours in prototype tests, simulatons,design and the final build.

Fine, but in my case the 3C24 is the final tube, not driver tube.

I have one of these in my living room now
They drive a pair of 2a3 tubes

But its a sweet driver for a 2A3 tube 
Has plenty of drive and runs off the same voltage as the 2A3. Probably one of the better combos Ive heard to date.
