[sdiy] Looking for ECC86

[René Schmitz]

Hi Theo!

Try http://www.hf-shop.de/products/preamp_tubes_I/preamp_tubes_i.html
not exactly cheap, though.

But quite a lot of tubes allow for operation with say 20-30V. 
The gain will be low, and you don't have the same dynamics as 
with higher voltages. But I doubt that the ECC86 will be any better 
at 6-12V, it was intended as a hf-tube for car-radios, back when 
transistors had transit frequencies of 100kHz's. 

Cheers,
 René
