Suggestions and circuits requested please...
Pair of Hammond 1739 from 1950s-60s era
Specs are 9k P-P primary (no ultralinear windings) to 4/8/15/30/125/250/500, 30 Watts

Looking for a robust simple HiFi circuit, clean sound, long continuous service, low maintenance. Will probably buy new Hammond Power transformer(s) and chassis for this project...
First thought was both channels on the same chassis, using EL84s for outputs, and something like the 272HX (600VCT @ 230mA, [email protected], [email protected]) for power...
Then I thought maybe a nice pair of 5881 monoblocks (I have a bunch of 5881s, also some nice NOS Hammond 12"x8" chassis cages)... move the secondary taps over so I get a 4.5k primary, and use something like a Hammond 274X (750VCT @ 126mA, [email protected], [email protected]) for each pair...
What would you do?
