I’ve decided to build my own tube amplifier. I had never dealt with vacuum tubes before, so it’s really interesting how will it go.
First of all I need to choose the architecture that fits my parts list:
Hardware Setup Components

|---|---|---|---|
| Tubes | 6Н23П-ЕВ | 2 pcs. | Input driver + phase inverter (one tube per monoblock) |
| Tubes | 6П14П | 4 pcs. | Output stage (Parallel Push-Pull) |
| Tubes | 5Ц8С | 2 pcs. | Rectifier tube for the Power Supply Unit (PSU) |
| Iron | Выходной трансформатор PP (5 кОм) | 1 pc. | Audio output transformer |
| Iron | ТАН-69-127/220-50 | 1 pc. | Main anode (and partial heater) power transformer |
| Iron | ТН-60-127/220-50 | 1 pc. | Dedicated heater transformer for audio tubes |
