Looking for the best SQ Phono LCR schematic

Thank euro21.

Now I have a few sim plots of LCR phono using E810F. It's a combined sch of zero bias of Thorsten and cap coupling of Thunderstone. I plot the input and output impedance at various test points to verify that they're technically correct, it's quite an exercise for me. Sonic wise you only know as you build it. Likewise I hope this help you to understand and raise appropriate questions. For example output impedance of input LCR driver has been raised so the combined Z is close to LCR input Z, do you agree?

why bias the tubes near of 0v , in this point the distortion is not higher?

Koonw, are you "measure" current Ig1 through 600 ohm resistor at the output tube. It is unacceptable great, I guess.
Rg1_min should be about 50 Kohm for E810F and about 200 Kohm for D3a (for zero bias), if I remember correctly.

Also, it seems to me that E810F cathode current >30mA, and D3a current about 15 mA, on Thorsten schematic.


BTW, @euro21, for your E810F model you used Ug2 = 150V, right ??

That is right: round(I(R1)*100k)/100k is 2.85mA, but I feel not quite right. Where is the datasheet of E801f Vg2=150 or 100V?

I'll sim again to verify thing when I found correct E801f model or I paint it.

Anyway here is to my friend question, there need one alternation in LCR unit to bypass DC if C13 is placed after LCR, have a look where is the difference? In U1 frequency response I see it is more smooth.

What is the problem if want to use a MC and load the Rg1 with 200ohm, too far of 50k or 200k for D3a,

I have got problems of HF roll off in 6sl7 by miller effect over 10khz with 220k load and 14khz with 150k, why don´t use the miller effect as complement of the RIAA

True, those who used grid leak bias i.e, cathode is shorted to ground, then the grid leak resistor needs to be very large, as there is about -2V on the grid for 12ax7, no just zero and have to use a DC block capacitor in the input. We're not grid leak, just zero bias, I think we should avoid that. You can use DC blocking cap and larger resistor if need to, provided you don't get a negative voltage on the grid. That is IMO.

I have further massaged e810f model and now bring into real close to the original. You can see where I have made the changes KG1, KP, KVB which fine tube the spacing and height, and formula G2 4 3 value= {(I(G1)*30/(V(1,3) + 30))} ; fine tune screen current, changed from *39
