Hi!
I'm really unclear about how to determine input and output transformers. I have two I could use for the input of my experimental opto comp (Kiiratronics Konvertable). I have a Triad A-61J 1+1:1+1/1+1 with 2 windings in and 4 out 600:600 all. And I have a Jensen JT-11P 10k:10k. If the balanced output from the preamp is 600 ohms it will still drive the 10k input ok right? I'd rather use the Triad 600:600 though because it is smaller and easier to mount. The input tube of the comp makeup gain is a 6sn7 .
BTW is there anything that the split secondary Triad could be good for except making a mic splitter? I'm just trying to think of stuff to make this compressor more interesting after I basically get it working. Ha I mean IF I basically get it working :roll:
One thing I was vaguely thinking of is something like a second circuit/amp for creating "color", distortion actually I guess, which could somehow be dialed in feeding back into the input of the first or second stage of the makeup gain amp. I have no idea how or if this would be doable but it would be a cool thing. Besides, I hate doing things halfway and if I'm going to screw this up I want it to be spectacular. :razz:
The makeup aamp is a 6sn7 gain stage into a 6bx7 CF or maybe WCF, I'm still deciding but buiting the turret board to be able to do anything with the circuit I want. Probably means spray painting it orange and putting it on th wall as conceptual art.
thanks!
