Attention, all first-time (or wanna be) builders of single ended directly heated triode amps. This project’s for you. This is an easy to build, simple direct-coupled input/driver circuit that provides the proper drive voltage to the grid of the 211. A nice way to experiment with a single-ended (SE) triode amplifier.
