High Gain Stereo Tube Preamplifier
This is the circuit diagram of stereo tube preamplifier, give you high gain with high performance output. This circuit should work fine with a 6J5, 12SX7, 6CG7, or 12AU7 as the lower tube, and a 6BX7, 12B4, or triode-connected 6BQ5 as the upper tube. Any of the miniature TV dual triodes such as 6DE7 or 6EW7 can serve as both top and bottom triodes since they contain a medium-mu and a low-mu section. (This wouldn't be my choice, since the octals seem to sound better, but you may choose the tubes you like.) Tube Preamplifier Parts List: R1,R5 = 100 1/4W carbon R2,R6 = 100 1W metal film R3 = 1M 1/4W metal film R4 = 10k 25W wirewound R7 = 10k 1/2W metal film VR1,VR2 = Part of Alps quad volume/balance control C1 = 2uF 400V polypropylene C2 = 10uF 400V polypropylene V1 = 12SN7GT (GE) or 6SN7GT (see text) V2 = 6BL7GT (GE) This circuit require special power supply circuit. The power supply is regulated, has slow warmup inherent in its operation. The power supply for this tube preamplifier...
