Thanks Damir; There is only one cap in the circuit? Have you accessed Douglas' new PS design by any chance? Thanks Again J.R.

Just wandering would the sound be better if you avoid the signal going thru the pot as shown in the schematic. Instead with a series shunt to ground config I think the signal goes thru a good quality resistor instead.

It`s hard to avoid the pot - various sources have various output voltages, say from 100mV to 2Vrms. Amplification of our preamp is about 16 or so, and if we don`t have the control, then output voltage from the preamp is 1,6-32Vrms! The typical sensitivity for the full output of power amp can be 1-2Vrms, sometimes lower. We can put the pot at the input, or at the output of the preamp, better on the input.
If too much amplification is the problem (high output sources), we can use lower-mu tube, say 12B4A, but then we must change the operating point...

Thank you [message #30152 is a reply to message #30147] Thu, 20 January 2005 11:48 Go to previous messageGo to next message

Thanks for taking the time to draw this.....Colin

I`m glad if I can help a little, for now most of it depends on Duglas. But, after building a preamp, some of the people here would get first-hand experience with building tube circuits, CCS, power supply... and (I hope) we would reach 2nd level

New PS design? No... IMO - in the begining (V1.0), it`s best to use simple PS design, later...who knows?
And about building from the schematics - just ask, I`m sure that someone would jump in with help/instructions/tweaks/opinions, etc.:-)
For the start, download DN2540 and 5687 data, plus the data for your favorite rectifier, for example EZ80/6V4, EZ81/6CA4...

I'm pretty lost right now as far as what PS we're using. Can someone please draw a schematic of what PS we're using? That would be too cool. We're about to drop some pretty pennies (and a few ugly ones too) on a choke and custom tranny. We need to make sure we're all on the same page.....Colin

Exactly; the original PS schematic uses the 6ca4 rec tube; Douglas suggested for the new iteration to use 6X4's, choke loaded.
