Smile Re: Stereo amp upgrade

Thanks for the help, Jeffrey.I agree with you.
Hi Merlin, it is vise versa, the triode needs better filtering!
Connect the g2 to plate and listen!
In the pic you can see the output diagram of the EL84.
I calculated the equivalent resistor for the EL84.
Conclusion is 13% of the riples appears across the transformer.
But now comes the best:
The kathode of the EL84 is not blocked (!), this increases the output resistance of the EL84. Means Adis application and more than 95% of the riple voltage is suppressed by the pentode.
