Maybe with lower output power.. If you did, what did you think of it?

You can use the 11J7 in those as well with change of heater supply. I never had any issue with microphonics using indirectly heated tubes in line stages except maybe very old triodes like globe 27. Und much less so in driver stages<br /><br />ThomasVinylSavorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255472557028244395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098337119765190876.post-20691808256525355712015-10-09T00:19:34.698+02:002015-10-09T00:19:34.698+02:00Hi Thomas,

Could 11J7 be suitable for a preamp or as a driver for 2A3 amp to be paired with horns?<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098337119765190876.post-7785332157780508622015-10-06T22:39:04.675+02:002015-10-06T22:39:04.675+02:00Hi!
