Explanation still required for triode superiority

People just confuse Class A with SE because only a tiny, tiny minority even of the ultrafidelista have ever heard pure Class A PP amp. Well, I have, since that's about the only topology I use when building tube amps. Join the elite. I compared triode strapped JJ KT88s against NOS Philips XF4 EL34s, also triode strapped in the same circuit, with somewhat reduced supply voltage to not overstress the EL34s. For me, the KT88s won hands down, even with the lower anode voltage. Your membership has just been revoked! Next you'll be wanting 6550s. I posted the circuit diagram some days ago in the "Step 2 for Fisher Iron" thread. You can still find it here, if you're interested: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/1751/wkschemod0.jpg Vrij naar Murphy: de hoeveelheid problemen op een versterker neemt toe met het kwadraat van het aantal onderdelen. Unless one wants a SE amp, it doesn't get any simpler than that, I'm afraid. There's a certain elegance to simplicity: you see it and you know the thing will work well before you even get into the subtler details. -- "Due knot trussed yore spell chequer two fined awl miss steaks." Andre Jute Nah, Murphy is my insurance agent. He wouldn't dare. It would cost him too much. |
