5Watt Tube Audio Power Amplifier Circuit With EL84

The EL84 is one of the best pipes ever made, IMO, 3-triode EL84 wired in parallel and replace a sonically outperform WE300B in the same circuit (circuit originally 300B).

5W Tube Power Amplifier with EL84

And each of you probably know, I’m not a fan of tubes parallel to all.I would be very interested to know the success of an amplifier EL84 September

I thought everyone should know that I did for the beginning of the plan at first this thread and its good work. Most of all values for ressistors and caps I used are fairly similar, if not the same as what is in the map. Although I used a plug in multiple sets of filterstage before taking the state wave diode rectifier sound. In the first test no sound, so I cliped feedback negative lead goes to ground and it worked and I cliped feedback and lead others there was no difference in sound if c is finished. Its units strong enough and a lot of 12 “speaker very clearly.

Here are the results of the test:

B 1 = 331VDC, 262VDC B = 2, B 3 = 235VDC

EL84 = PIN9 = 261V, 311VDC bias pin7 = = 47th, PIN3 = 6VDC

35 Watt Classic Tube Audio Power Amplifier with EL34

It is a classic design of the last 35 Watt amplifier, and 2 push-pull EL34, Siemens and Halske.

The amplifier has been from 1954 to 1989, when it came out, except that the operation, the average activity for 15 hours a day. It is not present in damages in excess, in particular the replacement of the tubes, capacitors and resistors, caused by natural wear. The fundamental change came with the replacement of a provision of the tube, to restore diodes. There is only one problem, they try to produce the transformer cost, (it is valid for all pipe manufactured), one of the code is there and it will help. It may cost to replace traditional transformer suitable for EL34. Its products they need (it is the force responsible for all districts), sufficient experience and attention to the high voltage electric shock.

Tubes
For this project, I decided to use some of the EL34. Check out DrTube [0] for additional information. Offer good performance at a decent price.
The load of reflection allows KT88 instead of one, if not provided enought power.

For the pre, I think I’m going to use a 6SN7 in SRRP. These offer a good profit, and very good linearity.

Output transformer
EL34 has a load of reflection 2kohm, I found coresponding processors. Obviously a lot of money, Hammond Cost HiFi (not guitar), output transformer for 20W costs about $ 99 each. And
Even worse, I can not be found, only 2.5 per 2.0k flows.

Power Supply
This part is not really clear to me now. Located Ended amplifiers should not be regulated PSU, because in pure class A job, for which the current is fixed (thought the tube bias), but they really want to avoid distortion.I stable, do not buy a transformer large because it costs much money and not my feet with my needs. EL34 use a very low voltage (~ 250V), but are largely in progress ~ 100mA. I think a good isolation transformer can do the job. Something like 230 * 230 to 200VA does not cost much money.
