I read this and it resonated with strong echoes of the the First Watt ethos...
"It seems to me that simplicity (often doubted and usually achieved by the most roundabout means) yields the most natural and truest results. This is what I hear and I can only guess why. This gives you a very low-power amplifier (in my case a direct-coupled 2A3). Maybe it's the fear of being taken for some kind of fool or the desire for a broader appeal, but it seems the designer's first reaction to the SE triode amp is to find some way to boost the power. I know. I've tried and I've listened to a lot of the paralleled amps, triode connected pentodes and so forth and the best I can say is 'not bad'. It seems to me that the power quest is a step backward."

Some might have a $h!+ fit when someone presents a schematic without a power transformer or in other words- a directly connected circuit to power mains is not good.
I'm a noob when it comes to toobs, but the Output Transformer's (OPT) primary will be dependent on the triode used. I could be wrong.
The simplicity in the tube and parts is the reason it sounds the way it does. That and even harmonics.

It is not a real schematic - it is simply for humor. The tube symbol is a "$". No one would try to actually build it. At least that's what I thought.

The directly heated dollar sign will be very difficult to source, so I don't think anyone will attempt it. 🙂
damn humor is supposedly basic thing of Pass Forum
one day , if humor gone banished , I can't see it as same place
however .... I believe that could be possible only after Papa (and me too ) is already in Happy Hunting Grounds
