No problemo. Answering questions is good for me.

Nikongod is right.   A transformer never produces DC.   A large magnet placed near to a transformer will have one certain result. It will partially or completely saturate the core, resulting in reduced funtionality at...

Thanks jcx, my next question was going to be what kind of a load do the phones present...

What are the drive requirements here? I'm unlikely to ever own a pair of Stax phones, but so what...

Sorry, I've been doing that EE talk for so long I just slip into it without noticing. I'll try and make some progress with building it. I may be gone for some time...

Yes, it's more a question of not being able to drive it very hard before running into grid current. Even with the 12AU7 I can't get much more than 0.6V between cathode and grid, and as the current comes down and the output impedance...

Nobody deliberately seeks out poorer reproduction...   ...or do they?   I posted a poll in the 'Sound Science' section, asking the 'Desert Island Disks' question, but with a little wrinkle.   If you were marooned...

I've drawn up a PCB, but I haven't got a 12AU7, and a tube that likes fairly low voltage is really required. I have got some 6N6Ps, I wonder if they'll work? I'm going for 19V supply...     I can't seem to get...
