I'm not very familiar with them, but would gladly focus on them for a design, like stated earlier, let us know what you wAnt design goal wise and we can get started on a design for them. Do you want pentode or triode connected for them?

So, more digging around, looks like 6П31С (6P31S) is the Russian equivalent to the EL36(6CM5). Interesting :)


For starters on a basic triode connected EL36/6P31S design, I'm thinking that a 6SN7 concertina feeding a 6SN7 LTP would be a good start. Supply voltage around 350 or so. Output transformer of around 4k to 7k would be a good bet, for somewhere around 22~28W per channel output. Fixed bias would be used. Something very similar to the second schematic I shared earlier would be a great starting point, with the biasing scheme used by Pete Millet on his engineer's amplifier being a good way to handle the output tubes.

Dear Lingwendil,
I wish you the best of further explorations, but I’m still focussed on EL36s. I had hoped you could further my understanding of said tube and it’s best performance. If you moved beyond it all the best to you.

Thanks for your support and contributions. I actually mistyped earlier. What I meant was that I’m still focussed on the EL86 design, the original topic of this thread. Apologies for my mistake.
