Adding another output channel for stereo 6BM8

Post by chopstuck »

I'm adding another channel to my Hosa 56T reverb.

I have built the Little Wing with a 100ma reverb PT - sounds real good too.
I'm now sizing a PT for a stereo amp. I'm not sure on the max load of the amp but I don't want to oversize the PS to much to keep the fun compression.

I have a few 18w PTs at about 150ma. I also have a few larger PTs at higher voltages that I would have to knock down a bit .

Assuming I have enough filament current and the 6BM8 ratings say about 25 ma at 300v each tube. Is an additional 30-35ma of transformer headroom adequate for a pair in push pull ?
Heavens, an unused PI input !
