Hi Donald: A good example of the change you would like to achieve is available by viewing the Ameritron series of amps. Specifically, compare the AL-82 (2 X 3-500s) to the AL-1500 (single 8877).(You

I'd echo this sentiment.  You've got a good, tried and tested amp with robust tubes.  Why spend the time and money (and run barefoot whilst you're working on it) simply for a lower drive requirement?

Not only is the 3-500Z a more robust tube than the 8877, the 8877 requires a 3 minute warm-up, the circuit for that would be an added complexity. I agree with Hsu that the 3CX1200D7 would be a better

Using that original filament xfmr on an 8877 will raise the voltage so you will have to add a resistor to drop it. Carl KM1H _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@con
