Re: PSE EL84 Amplifier

Beyond that, there are a few things going on in my se amp right now, the EL34. I really dont know what effect certain measures are having, very little I think. So one is a triode driving a triode, two stage. Its as clear as day that does not cancel 2nd, it may slightly mitigate it, but there is no c...

Re: PSE EL84 Amplifier

YES mike single ended triode connected EL84 is lucky to make 2 watts of music is what I was sayicng, but I’m now taking the push pull output because there is less distortion at the output. So I get my 4 watts Class A push pull with less overall distortion. But I’m driving the output stage with a Suk...

Re: EL34 SE

A lot simpler I already bought a 50 watt 20v secondary. 2.7v change per primary volt a 20v additional primary will deduct 54 volts from the supply on the safer side that’ll do. If I needed a bias supply Ive got one on the other secondary. In this case I am using so little voltage its not necessary. ...

EL34 SE

So the amp I listen to is EL34 SE. The Variac has become unreliable. So Ive made it 117v permanently. Through the power supply that gives 317v b+ which draws 21v bias. Running hotter current 82mA. B+ 300v. This isnt a bad compromise . For this amp it becomes 3 watts, but its cleaner lower distortion...

Re: PSE EL84 Amplifier

OK Ive ordered two of the EL36’s from Langex for £25 delivered . So those are going into the EL34 SE amplifier. The EL821’s and EL822’s are going in a new push pull amp. (The 1’s are shorter stature but mostly close) So I’ll have two amps at home with Mullard bottles in a SE and a push pull. Its goi...

Re: PSE EL84 Amplifier

I’ve found a cheaper EL12 alternative, EL36 with a top cap anode.

Good looking triode curves, class A se into 4k 4.5 watts 375v 50mA

Re: PSE EL84 Amplifier

A bit of 2nd dominance at the driver and a bit of distortion cancellation at the output. Should blend good. Mullards for less than Chinese or Russian. https://i.postimg.cc/QxB2fDH9/IMG-9224.png img post Should look better. https://i.postimg.cc/vZJpKmWB/IMG-9225.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/zvGMhH1d/IMG-...

Re: PSE EL84 Amplifier

Great to hear, I can do 6 watt with a 630 volt power supply. But I dont really think its worth building at all for just that. So I’ll wait until Ive built it for proper voltages. As I have a 6 watt amp.
