Post Subject: Single Ended Pentode to go?Posted by rowuk on: 5/20/2014

I ran across this site quite a while ago http://rh-amps.blogspot.de and decided to have a go at building one of Alexs amps. The idea of using a real pentode the way it was originally designed for appealed to me.
I had a chance to get some 307A tubes at a decent price and built the 307A Super. http://rh-amps.blogspot.de/2013_09_01_archive.html
It is safe to say that I am VERY happy. I am listening to more complete works and almost never zap anymore. The amp has plenty of power and that something special that makes you sit down and listen. The sense of "melody" is very good even at the lower range of the contrabass. Since the amplifiers are done, I have identified some other areas in my playback that need attention.
More on the process that brought me to this decision and what it now "after the fact" has fulfilled in upcoming posts.
