Bifilar IT with signal on both ends of secondary
Bifilar IT with signal on both ends of secondary
Hey Dave,
Now we´ve come to the right place! Tried the link in my computer and it worked OK. Hope it works better for you here.
This is close the textbook Schade. Personally I would choose another driver but it´s not important here.

Hey Dave,
Yes, I now you´re not fond of pentodes! This one sims like a dream (hmmm almost). There is a BIG problem though! Major resonance in the low end! Play around and tell me what you think.

Damn you lars... I have work to do stop making me think!
I kept staring at the load on the D3A and seeing the 100hy in parallel with the feedback. By instability at LF are you referring to the 5-6dB peak at 10hz? It looks like a typical LC resonance but there aren't any C's (coupling or bypass) to cause this.
I keep looking at the load to the D3a and we know a finite inductive load will not work so there needs to be a parallel load for the 100hy's to "work against". The load appears to be the 68K in series with Rp || Rl of the 807 or about 68K which again is nowhere near low enough for the 100hy's to work against. Of course the feedback resistor has current through it and this must be an "active load" that is in parallel with the 100HY to load the tube at low frequency. when you probe the current through it you get like 20ma at 10hz. 20ma through 68K is 1360V so i'm scratching my head. (switching to linear mode for real units helps) Since I highly doubt that those numbers will ever happen in the real world, I wondered what happens if we put a resistor across the primary of the IT to better define the load on the d3a. 10K goes a long way to making things seem to behave.
BTW, are there any other good pentode models out there besides the D3A? I'd love to find a 7788 and a 7722.

Hey Dave,
The load is 2-4kohm due to the plate-grid feedback loop around the 807. So the D3a is properly loaded, but not by the transformer. But I have to admit I am not fully aware of how this one works. Got the idea from Michael Koster using a MOSFET as complement for driving A2.
About Spicemodels they seem rare. Should really like to find E280F and
C3m.
Is this one acceptable? The peak is dependant on Lprimary of the OPT but can be damped somewhat by fiddling with the screencapacitor of the driver.

Look what happens when you change the reflected load. Granted most speakers are well beyond the bass impedance peak at 10hz but I try to stay away from circuits that need to be tuned, particularly when using nonlinear devices.
I still like the first sketch with a 10K across the primary of the IT. It still has the reflected load issues but the response curves look "less complex" I still wonder about stability though.
