Learned listmates, I want to embark on building my first HF tube amplifier. I would like to know what to start with, GG triode or Grid Driven Tetrode. I am looking for legal limit plus and will provide 230V for operation. GS35b tubes have caught my eye as have GU84b units but I am open to suggestions. Oh, and this will be a deskside unit with a 19" rack as its basis and it will be expected to provide service from 160m to 6m. Lots of great material out there on both flavors. I am looking for reliable operation, ruggedness (tolerance of my errors), 50 to 100W drive from my Kenwood to full output, simplicity and cost effectiveness. I am an experienced EE with PSU and systems experience but have not ever tackled a tube amp below 10GHz (grin). Waiting for all teh great guidance.
