The 1 watt thread and my amp

[paulf-2007]

Been looking at the 1 watt amp thread and got interested. Had a look at the decware site at their SE84C+ amp with 6N1P input tubes and EL84 outputs( I think). Now my amp has 2 x 6N1 tubes but, knowing nothing about amps, I don't know if they are input or output tubes.They are the only tubes it has. Its a chinese amp a Mistral DT-307A, supposedly 25w per channel. Any ideas guys.Here is a pic of it, its the top box with the large transformer, pretty eh? Sounds bloody marvellous. Oh it has a 60w input

6N1P is a small-signal (pre-amp) tube.

[paulf-2007]

so it has a valve pre and solid state power amp then. Would 25w make sense with 60w power supply.

[i_should_coco]

Yeah, it's almost certainly valve pre, solid state power. It doesn't say whether the input power is peak, max, average or whatever. I wouldn't worry too much.

its certainly not something I'd lose sleep over, just interested to know if it is 25w or maybe is less

It's not possible to say without knowing the topology, unfortunately.

what's that thing at the bottom of yr rack?

[paulf-2007]

a yaqin phono stage and pre amp, does mm and mc and makes a dramatic difference to my cdp when using the pre amp.
