In the Thread: How to get a LOT of SET power.
Post Subject: Son of a butch triode.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 2/26/2006

I have received a few emails today informing me that this idea of a super high power low frequency SET would not be possible and it would be “pushing the things WAY too far”.

Well, perhaps…. I am not planning to build it but I would like to encourage someone to make it and if the person will not kill himself then I would have chance to listen it. I really would love to hear it….

Initially I thought to "drive hard" the Svetlana RB300-3CX or 3CX300A1 but it would not be enough power in there. Then I was thinking about something like GM100 but this tube is too "flimsy" for this project.

My primary attention as now is lying on the Russian made GM2. They are not expansive, available in two versions: air cooling and water cooling and initially meant to be use as voltage regulator. It looks to me that it is very good tube for the project: 6.3V on filament at 30A, plate dissipation up to 2.800W, gain 55…

Any crazy people out there?
