cathode follower with gain

Trancy,

Attached is a cathode follower followed by a common cathode stage. I was told that tubes such as 6DJ8, 6922, ECC88, 6N1P can be used for such a configuration.

Federico,

Would it be possible for you to provide values for the resistors using 6N1P and ECC88 tubes? I have a couple of 6N1P sitting here waiting to be used. 😀

Thanks!

B+ 150 V is very low for the 6N1P.
However, I'll try something.

see you later

Federico

P.S. I wiil use the duncan model. If you prefer
something different send it to me.


Federico,

That is the psu I already have setup, duncan model is fine with me. I would love a unity gain but if not possible, your smallest gain design would be fine.

Thank you very much!

JojoD

P.S. Already have ceramic tube sockets, will look for suitable aluminum casing tomorrow. Will be waiting...
 
2W for 20k e 30k res

for the other ( 200, 1meg, 270k) also 0.2 W.

I like the topology very much but, in this case,
and with 6N1P, we need 300 V to have it working properly.

Owing to the constrain due to the rigid connection
between plate of 1th tube and grid of the 2nd, the working
point is not very good, that is high distortion
( 0.4% at 5Vrms out) and not very great max swing.

However it works and maybe you will like its
sound.


If you don't need gain the CF is advisable.
