Pure Class-A triode OTL design and only one tube for amplification. The plate voltages should be low. The output impedance should be as low as possible and the maximum output current should be as high as possible. This amplifier is a stand alone Headphone.... -
This amplifier was born out of a need to use two sets headphones with my computer's sound-card. The design presented here is a 50mW power amplifier meant for phones with impedances of 32 Ohms and greater. I chose this class A topology, because it offers very.... -
The amp is built according to the Morgan Jones design. In the spirit of DIY, I made a few modifications. I did not change the circuit topology at all, but used Svetlana 6N1P tubes, as noted. I also used a conventional power supply instead of the wall.... -
To get a low output impedance I needed to use quite a high step-down ratio (20:1); after all, the amplifier may be used with headphones of lower impedance that the 300 Ohms of the HD600. The output valve is the 12B4A which has a anode impedance of about.... -
This is the schematic of the final design including the tone stack but leaving out the volume, balance, and sonic controls. The right half of the circuit is John Broskie's original White cathode amplifier with a pair of 5687s as output tubes. This lowers the.... -
To design a Tube Headphone Amplifier we need a triode with uncommon characteristics: enough voltage gain, low internal resistance and good anodic current. My first test was done with the E182CC (figure 1), but there is the limitation on the usable impedance.... -
A very good circuit of pre-preamplifier, for amplification of signals from heads of Moving Coil. It uses the two departments of tube ECC88, association parallel, for reduction of produced noise. The circuit enters in line with existing circuit PHONO..... -

This stero amp will give you 4-8W/ch of zero feedback triode power for less than a pair of Chinese 300B's ...if you know where to shop. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this lil' tube here's the poop: The 5687 is a 9-pin miniature twin triode (a la.... -
The input stage is comprised of a both halves of a 6SL7 octal dual hi-mu triode in a differential amp configuration with a 1ma constant current cathode load. I'm using field-effect (constant-current) diodes for simplicity. the diff amp approach was chosen.... -
The tube headphone amplifier in figure 1 is a high current mu follower, with a 12AU7 cathode follower driven by a 6CG7. Both sections of each tube are paralleled to minimize noise. It's a zero global feedback, OTL design of pretty high quality. I use it and.... -
A cathode follower based on the 6BL7 or 6BX7 is ideal for output. I used a mu-follower circuit with no feedback, a 12SN7 as the gain stage, and a 6BL7 as the cathode follower/current source. (I have many old GEs I wanted to use, and converting to 6SN7 means.... -
The IRF820 MOSFET has a voltage rating of 500v, it should work well in preamp stages of most tube amps. The 100 ohm resistor is there to suppress H.F. oscillations. If IRF820 is physically close to the 12AX7 plate, you probably won't need it. You can see how.... -
This revision reduced the signal level and treble response in the preamp for a smoother sound in both cathode and fixed bias modes. The power supply was also revised for lower B+ voltages to the EL84 plates. "This amp was built on the chassis of an.... -
For SR AB763 driver replace: 25k pot, 0.1uF cap and 4k7 resistor with 100 ohm resistor to ground. 56k resistor with 820 to 4k7 resistor. .. -

This is one of abounding accessible variations for a Symmetrical SRPP Preamplifier based about the 6DJ8 / ECC88 ancestors of tubes. The SRPP ambit has additionally been referred to as a SEPP, Totem Pole, Mu Follower, Mu amplifier and Cascoded Cathode.... -
The concept of an AC model for the triode is presented and the equivalent circuit technique is described. Theoretical calculations for amplifier gain and frequency response are derived and compared to simulation results in the SPICE3 environment where good.... -
Our focus is to create place of art, audio, and video with a vintage electronics theme. The vacuum tube is the heart and soul of any vintage radio or electronic device. Today the use of the vacuum tube has been vertualy wiped out to the edge of extinction..... -
This is my first successful vacuum tube project. The output of this small amplifier in which a 6V6GT output pentode is connected as triode is about 4. 5 watts. This project involves a single ended audio amplifier, which consists of a resistive input network,.... -
The circuit is simple, yet is capable of excellent performance. I designed it specifically for use as an amplifier for the digital sound card in my computer. Audio input can be from any two-channel line level device such as a television, CD player, or VCR.. -
