Schematic wanted for push-pull triode connected pentode amp with DHT front end

[DrowningNotWaving]

I am looking for a schematic for a pair of triode connected pentodes, EL84, EL34, 6L6 etc. with a DHT front end, and some sort of a phase splitter (with gain if required). I haven't found any, and was wondering if anyone has tried this. I built a single ended amp with a Type 30 driving a triode connected EL84, and really like it, and am wondering if anyone has done this sort of thing with a push pull amp. Lots of indirectly heated tubes in front of push pull DHTs, but not much of the other way around.

An easy and good sounding solution would be to use an input transformer to split phase to the grids of what ever input/driver tube that has sufficient gain to drive your outpu tubes. Cap couple or transformer couple from input tubes to output tubes to your preference.

Here's a good example of an "inverted DHT SE" with the DHT in front of the driver. 26 into EL12n, my daily amp. Quite an easy build.

My favourite triode strapped pentode is the EL34. The JJ EL34 is usually my choice. If properly tested and selected, they are excellent and anything more expensive is redundant.
A simple power amp could be: Sowter 1475 as 10K input phase splitter - Type 49 differential driver + EL34 running at 400-420V with 50mA and 10K plate-to-plate for 15W Class A and about 3V rms input.

45,

I have some of these parts, and a preamp for 6v rms input. it would be interesting to compare with a SE 300b - I have a build that has been going on for ages now, and a nice PP intrigues me. Would it be up to the level of a good 300b?
