Choosing an OT: Theory Q's

Mook | Choosing an OT: Theory Q's A pair of 6V6s in fixed bias want to see an impedance load of about 4K on the OT primary. However, the same pair of 6V6s in cathode bias want to "see" about 8K on the OT primary. What if you have an OT where the primary has a higher or lower impedance than the "nominal" ratings. That is... 1) What if you used an 8K OT primary for FIXED bias? Will you get more "crunch", will it sound "darker"? 2) What if you used a 4K OT primary for CATHODE bias? What will it sound like? In general, what are the pros and cons for mis-matching OT primary impedances? Mook |
