da un OTL (la prima versione era dichiarata no global feedback, ora nel Valhalla 2 sembra sia apparso) con una 6N6p ?
Stando a:
( http://www.diytube.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=36891 )
chi lo ha guardato "sotto la gonna" ha trovato un differenziale di 6N1 (ECC88-like) con generatore di corrente, seguito da un White Cathode Follower di 6N6p (5687-like)

After a few hours of operation, I decided that it was time for a real look under the covers
First of all, I should have known that it has no SRPP circuitry at all, it is clearly stated that this is a non-inverting circuit, and SRPPs invert.
The topology is a common cathode 6N1P VA stage (not to be confused with grounded cathode), and a 6N6P White cathode follower. For those who have Tube-CAD, the VA is hum-bucking common cathode "D" , directly coupled to a White CF "A"
Each VA stage consumes about 8 mA, and each WCF output stage consumes about 28 mA, for a total of about 76 mA for both channels, at 212VDC.
The power supply uses two separate MCI brand PC mounted transformers (made in California) , one for the 212 VDC B+, the other for the filaments' 6.3VAC.
Most resistors are Dale, 1% 1/2 watt, some 1 watters are used where needed. The power supply has a total of nearly 2,000 uF of capacitors, and this unit is dead quiet, no hum, ripple, buzz or noise. The volume control is 100K stereo Alps "Blue Velvet" Caps are a mix of Nichicon electrolytics and Wima MKS4.
