How would I determine the best OPT for a given amp?
Im still learning about tube amplifiers and im about a quarter of the way through the Army education guide on thermionics and tubes but I would like to know how to determine what OPT are compatible with a given amp design?
Specifically I have a Magnavox 185AA that I will be upgrading and modifying in the near future and I was wondering if a Hammond 1629SEA would work with the amp.
The amp has 2 sets of 2 6v6 tubes and uses 15w OPTs now
The Hammonds are 30 watts
The amp specs from the schematic state that the OPT has a 6000 ohm CT where the 1629SEA has 6500 ohm
what are the factors i need to look at to determine what would work and would be compatible?
