hello,
i have finished a preamplifier with the ECC802S Tesla tubes. The circuit diagram is here: DIY ECC802S (12AU7 / ECC82) Vacuum Tube SRPP Preamplifier
The schematics shows on the tubes pins 6 about 215volts. I have only 205volts and i am using the same power supply but with larger capacitors.(not 3x100uf but 3x470uF). Maybe my tubes draws a little more current. Is this voltage ok? Also i have a problem with the heater voltage. I am using the LM317 to supply 6,3vdc. Without the tubes i have 6,3v but when i put the tubes on the heater voltage drops to 5,8v possibly because the transformer cannot supply the current needed.(the transformer voltage drops from 8 to 7Vac with the load) Is this ok or i must rewind the transformer? (i made the transformer by myself).
Thank you
george
