Pleiades Electra III?



An output transformerless headphone amplifier could be made with EF183.


One EF183 triode connected per channel.


The relatively high anode current, of the order of a few milliamperes at a low anode voltage indicates a low output impedance, since Z=V/I.


The anode current can pass directly through high impedance headphones just like on Pleiades Elektra headphone amplifiers.


Operation can be at 12V supplying both heaters in series and anodes.


A resistor of the order of 1MΩ from anode to grid makes operation possible.


The signal is capacitor coupled to grid.


Cathodes are connected to ground and battery negative.
