==ADAPTING TYPE 1S1 TO USE 12AU7 INSTEAD OF 8416== | |||
Untested. | |||
V183 is being used as a pair of cathode followers driving the plugin interface slowly, so it's not critical. | |||
After ensuring that pin 9 is no-connect, I think you can drop in a 12AU7 and shunt the heater with 400 ohms 1W. | |||
Grid current prohibits use of 12AT7. | |||
In my opinion, V44 has to remain 8416/12DJ8. High gm is required, along with no grid current, | |||
and there's no practical way to power a 6DJ8. So you can get a 1S1 down to one 8416 but not down to none. | |||
