aerius Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hey guys, guys. Let's take a 12AX7 cause we like, need a tube or something, and use it as a cathode follower for absolutely no reason at all. Then let's get a shitty obsolete op-amp chip and run the signal through them before feeding it to the output stage, which is probably as shitty as the rest of the amp.

n_maher Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 don't forget to include as many diodes as you can I was thinking those were somehow to develop a B+ for the tube ala Stax bias? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 That's one way to do it but voltage multipliers don't like a load... at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'd say it's even better than 6N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
