• WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
    Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
    performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
    the safety precautions around high voltages.

Any designs for a simple tube-based buffer circuit?

B+ voltage



The load line is below so the tube is operating at 150VDC and 10mA.
The circuit has a 15K cathode resistor so 15K x 10mA = 150VDC
so 150V+150V=300VDC. So the plate would have 300VDC as B+.
If you are picky, add in the 3V bias and you have 303VDC on paper.

Hi,

Would this circuit work fine with 6n6p tube instead 12au7 with exactly same bias, except for the heaters?

Than you!
