Thinking to build 6CY7 SET (forum)
Suggest in forum here to use an alternative output transformer, the GXSE5-55K.
Notes: "Check your plate dissipation. If it's above 5.5W then drop the B+ a little. If not, then leave it alone. My guess is that you're probably fine." (add 100 ohms in B+ if needed)
Rough cost estimate:
2 6CY7 $ 6.00 $ 12.00 1 6CA4 $15.00 $ 15.00 1 269EX $48.23 $ 48.23 Power transformer 1 193H $37.72 $ 37.72 First filter inductor 2 154M $12.80 $ 25.60 Second filter inductors 2 GXSE5-5.5K $20.12 $ 40.24 Output transformers $178.79 Total above
