Pentode Mode

Well, I know what I said, but using EL34s and those output transformers in straight pentode mode is much more than just a last ditch effort. I want to be clear about this. It's exactly the way I'd go if not for the vintage iron I'm currently using up, and I'd do it with or without an actual ST-70 amplifier. Some of the replica Dynaco transformers on the market look very good, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to build a straight pentode amp around them. If you ever get a chance to do this, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
