TUBE EXPERIMENTATIONS | by Mr. Miniwatt

Still using EL51, I really like this tube. Here with the Herleen version and some RCA 6N7 clear glass.

Here with some Siemens E88CC (A4 revision).

I honestly think that with EL50, EL51 and E88CC and E188CC I can live without needing anything else. But well, we like to keep us busy and loose time with other tubes which do not matter.

When I'll find a capable tube amp builder in Europe I'll just build with him one with P8A sockets and a noval and that's it. EL50 and EL51 on output, EL3N or EF6 and E88CC on input (with input selector) and that's all folks. Fixed grid bias.

If you are a tube amp builder located inside EU and you find this project interesting, write me a PM.
