N-set, starting from reasonable input, the 6E5P can swing some serious voltage, and Romy also sings its praises in terms of sound.  Maybe sim that, running it in its safe zone to a 6C33C. From there, you have all the power you'd want to drive -- what...

The preamp has the classic tube regulated power supply using 5R4, 6AS7, 6SJ7. It is transformer coupled output and has no capacitor in the signal chain, the gain is about 8db, so it is not a buffer. For convenience, it does has a remote control. It i...

It is pitty.  Half of the 6C33C could be not used properly - if there will be 3 additional contacts for another triode.  Then you could preserve the second triode, not applying any voltage between plate and cathode. What you do - you use on...
