Highly Regulated UTC LS-65 UL Amplifier

Read an article a while back.

And finally thought I'd build it with mostly UTC Iron.

The maximum cathode to heater voltage for the 6080 series regulator, is listed as 300 volts. To avoid tube failure the centre-tap of the heater winding should not be directly earthed. A capacitor should be fitted between the centre-tap and ground.
