Would EC8020 make a great single ended power electron tube power amplifier?

At your risk. Follow strictly all safety precautions. Any voltage or current can be dangerous.


Leaned about this electron tube thanks to vinylsavor.


It has such high transconductance that no driver electron tube should be needed. Perhaps a 1:3 input mic or higher level? trasformer would be more than enough to drive it at full power out.
