Dear tubenuts,
I have tried a transformer-coupled tube-amp with DHT tubes like 6B4G and 2A3 and I just finished a parallel 6sl7 => Lundahl LL1660 => KT88 se amp which I like very much.
One of my intended projects is 6C45 => I.T. => VAIC 320B.
As a warming up I think of building a 6c45 => LL1660 => parallel EL84 amp. Just for curiosity because I have never seen such a design.
Did anyone ever tried this (perhaps with different driver: 2C51 or 5842 or E810F could also be candidates) ?
Or is this not a good idea at all ?
thanks,
Jaap

MIXER?
Hi,
As in mixed marriage?
Seriously though,I have no idea about the distortion plot for a set of EL84s would look here.
Moreover,I wonder what added value the IS would bring here other than lowering Zo.
So I would rather ommit the IS and drive the EL84s with a ECC99 or 6H30 in SRPP style.
Cheers,

Thanks for the suggestions.
The only reason for the IT is that i have a pair, and that i do not like capacitors at all. Other reason is that in my limited experience with IT's i liked the results. No scientific proof claims of course, but I suppose that if you have a quality transformer (and use it in the right way) you are always better off than with any capacitor (Phase shift problems). I have the impression that transformers give better detail and resolution.
Could be wrong of course
Just my prejudice
