setup time! i powered this amp without incident! i tested it using an md player! still in evaluation stage as i have to check  actual voltages and make adjustments as needed! no hum and no instabilities were audible. i will have to check this with a bose 101 and compare the sounds!

OTL - Output TransformerLess.  as an example, you can check Atmasphere.

6336 -- mapa-subo tayo nito ng mas maaga :).  i think i know where to get them ::).  4 pairs pwede na diba for smallish OTL?

futterman amps used this topology as early as the late 60's, uses dual rails just as ss amps did, in fact ss designers got their idea from this topology! ;D

does away with outptu transformers as the speaker is derectly connected to the output!

as output transformers are the achilles heel of any tube amp desing, this topoplogy eliminated at least one problem.

@odyopayl,

if you want to build this set amp, just get the circuit from decware, my amp uses ss rectifers in a voltage doubler from a120volts ac@500mA. with choke filters and big caps!

for the output transformer, they are wound from a 7/8in core, sqaure stack. primary has 5400 turns of #35 wire in three sections connected in series, secondary has 216 turns of #30 wire 2 coils wired in parallel! you can ask your favorite winder do this for you. btw, interleaving is like this, primary, secondary, primary, secondary, then finally primary. be dure to provide adequate inseulation between windings!

also, be sure all the E's go together, there should be a 10mill gap between the E and the I, a mylar plastic sheet may be used.

using a bobbin is the only way to wind this output traffo!

hope this helps!

thanks, actually i found a source in raon selling 6080 for 1000 nos, and much lower if used! but 6336 is much stronger, for an otl amp.

watson is selling 807's for 1800, 813 for 3500 but they do not have sockets and plate caps! ;D

i would like to try out the 6080 for a tube push-pull amp!
