The 6L6 simple SE

Even though 6L6 tube is used primary in guitar vacuum tube amplifiers, many manufacturers use this tube in audiophile designs. I decided to build this small single ended amplifier based on 6L6 vacuum tube using a classic three stage single ended design.
The plate voltage is about 320 Volts and the output stage is a classic single-ended cathode follower. Output transformer is 4500 ohms and is set for 8 ohm speakers. We chose this design for one reason : Wiring this tube as tetrode we achieve the greater possible amplification as a result of higher grid transconductance.

• one 6L6 tube / channel
• simple construction
• excellent damping factor (Z)output
• pure class A
• 320 Volt plate voltage

This project is a DIY single ended amplifier designed by Christos Spathopoulos
