Re: Single ended Class A OP stages.
Hello,
Just checking a pair of single ended EL84 output transformers salvaged from a Trio W-10 stereo amplifier to hand onto fellow forum member for his ongoing 3-3 projects and I’ve measured a primary impedance of 4.3K with a 8 or 16 Ohm load (separate taps) – now after reading this thread I wonder if Trio were using a slightly lower primary impedance of 4.3K, compared to the more common values of 5K, as used in 3-3, to add their take on the bottoming out and loading of the EL84 in a single ended configuration?
Just a thought.
Terry
