I built it. The driver tube is a 6A6 triode choke capacitance coupled (using an Intact Audio/Slagle nickel plate choke) > 2A3 > Tamura F7002 permalloy OPT.
Nice! Mine uses interstage transformer coupling. It has 6C45P input tubes. The power supply is tube rectified with all non-electrolytic caps and choke filtered. All transformers are from Silvercore in Germany.
I haven't had the pleasure of hearing Silvercore iron from Germany but my buddy Joe Roberts has a few. Hopefully I can hear them once he gets his hifi all set up.
Silvercore quality varies. His 833c is a value amp for the price, his 304 TL is excellent. I did not like the TB3/1000 that much, his neohybrid is promising but would require a listening with many valve rolls as he has kept it flexible for all 4v valves.
Does Joe still have Altecs - and if so what amps does he use? He was a big fan of Altec A5s and their woofers
This was his set up before he moved back to South Philly: Altec 755As in Silbatone boxes, the two horns at the center are Klangfilm also used in the GIP Lab Monitor 1s which I had the pleasure of hearing during a recent visit to Manila, AFAIK, Joe plans to pair those horns with his GIP 18" field coil drivers, the large cabinets contain Western Electric 728Bs which will be transferred to WE757A clone boxes + WP12027 horns by Trieu Ly of Lycan3R, Gates CB500 turntable + Silbatone SE300B amp.
The original 757a sounded nice in Munich in 2017 or 18. They were small so did not have the impact of the big ones for the audience but nest small speakers i have heard and filled a big room
Ever since I heard a pair of WE753As, WE753Cs + a single WE757A in the 90s, I've been chasing that sound. I couldn't afford them even in those days.
