When I get around to making these I shall make them as close as possible to your detailed design. I want them to be representative of what you are listening to so I can better understand the elements of playback you feel are important. There doesn't seem to be any point in changing anything. I'm sure you are right about putting too much current through the tube. Other people have also remarked that these can 'run away' if not handled carefully. Also, I'd worry about the performance of such a high current SE OPT.
Do you think this output stage works well because the OPT has to step down significantly less than a typical 5-10K OPT?
I just don't understand how such a tube will sound correct when it amplifies the signal in such an assymetric way.
There's only one way to find out!
