Circut optomized for a 6k6 output tube?

Post by Schwebel »

I asked earlier about SS rectifiers in a 5f1/2 circut and think I have crossed that hurdle. My goal is to build a low powered recording/bedroom amp, my 5 watters are just too loud turned up. I'm am not looking for much headroom or cleans from this amp. I'm looking for something close to 1/2-1 watt. So I thought why not build a 6K6 powered amp.

What I have right now is a Champion 600 Reissue transformer (the specs on the back are 275v 6.3v). It does not have a center tap or a 5v tap.

I was hoping to use a champ circut 5c1/5e1/5f1. My question is will one of these circuts with a SS rectifier and this transformer have too much plate voltage for a 6k6GT? And also is an octal or 9pin preamp tube best for something with a 6k6GT. Are there any circuts out there made for this tube I could use? Or any prefered mods on a champ circut? Any links to specs for a 6k6? Thanks for any help.
