Has anyone tried to use class-T technology with tubes as the power output devices? It dosn't seem that there should be anything wrong with this idea except for the power limitation.
Hi !
I believe that it's pointless to try tubes as outputdevices in a PWM
design. As the outputdevices are switches only, you have no
audiophile advantage from tubes. This means, it only matters
how fast these devices can switch. Class-D designs with tubes
have been tried in the 50s/60s, and discarded because these had
even worse efficiency then analog designs.
Typically, mosfets are designed to switch...
