    I decided to finally build a valve tube amplifier
    walk exploring the theme of building a vacuum tube amplifier i find this scheme which I think was
    a good way to start but a i have same questions
    the scheme

    [​IMG]

    this are my questions
    then what I wanted to discuss was the following
    consider a good project for first job
    they think the performance that he will
    the power supply can feed another channel without loss of quality
    had been worthwhile to replace the diodes for rectification by a valve grinder and if so how the scheme had been
    What does the feedback loop


    sorry about my inglish i am from portugal

    please help me

    Looks like a nice simple circuit for a project.

    Cannot quite make out your question regarding the feedback loop, but with feedback applied you will get lower distortion, lower output impedance and lower overall gain.

    Removing it completely will be interesting as while distortion will increase it might not sound unpleasant - probably quite nice in a euphonic way. The increase output impedance would be of concern unless you are running high impedance drivers, preferably without electronic crossovers such as Lowthers which will give you a pretty flat impedance curve and have good inherent mechanical damping.

    One benefit of replacing the SS diodes with valve rectifiers is soft start-up.
