Hi all, I am helping a fellow diy'er with making a Push pull 6550 amp utilizing some legendary Heathkit W6 amps transformers. Any suggestions is much appreciated.
 
I am not sure since there are reports of that circuit causing a low lifespan of the 12bh7 driver tube, which hard to source NOS tubes that are reasonable and consistently available.
That is quite surprizing since the later versions used a 12AU7 in this position without any changes in the operating point. The 12AU7 has a lower rating than the 12BH7. Are these later versions considered also unreliable?

Hi, yes, I think it is better with the 12bh7. I heard that there is a a schematic which is on Glass Audio? that is supposed to be an improved circuit but i have not been able to find that schematic.
