Thanks for the great reply.
Your amp inspired me to build a similar one.
Tomorrow I will try using battery grid bias and elevating the filaments.
Keep on the magnificent world class work Yeo, and we are all open to some suggestions and maybe a part 4.

parafeed concept has its virtues. as the output transformer doesn’t have to concern itself with dc current, it doesn’t need an air gap and could be made smaller. the plate choke doesn’t have to concern about the secondary windings so it could concentrate on being a choke.

so this segregation of duties allow for a much higher performance product to be built. this gives a product which has less compromise and hence better performance.

parafeed concept is not new. has been around since long long time ago.

thanks for commenting.

still the 417a. it has a refinement, lacking in the other 2 tubes.

i’m still using the same schematic but do play around.
