@Xorky Very cool! I see you are an audiophile.

@dsawilson
Yep ☺
Class A, Single Ended, Penthodes in Triode.

New DAC arrived!

@Xorky Nice. I had to do some reading to begin to understand this. I never got into audio enough to invest in a tube based amp. I am actually hanging on to an old Pioneer SA-7500 solid state system (maybe I am an anti-audiophile - or just a packrat).
I bet LP records sound fantastic using your amplifier.

Why use Pentodes in Triode application?

I notice that Transcendent Audio uses a pentode in their OTL triode amps. I wondered why and got to looking around and see that it is quite common in class A "triode" amps. So why not use a real triode in a "Triode amp" instead of "tying off" a pentode? I don't know anything about circuitry...
