ECC82 12AU7 preamplifier with a 9V battery


It is possible.


At 12.6V heater the 9V battery would provide great underheating. Consumption of current will be lower than 150mA.


Both sections can be used for a Pleiades V5, 2 stage resistance capacitance coupled amplifier for example.


Or an interstage transformer used...See also analog simulation of magnetic recording.


9V for plate supply is plenty and with a bit of pull up grid bias (Pleiades bias) this splendid electron tube should sing with low noise.


Later addition:


Another configuration can be a push pull one with an input and output transformer. It would have been called long tailed pair but it is called short tailed pair as the cathodes are directly connected to ground. See next tomorrow's post.
