Three circuit structures of 2A3 power amplifier: The protagonist of this article, 2A3, is the sister tube of 300B, and is the author\'s favorite direct-heated triode. Its charm is different from that of 300B. 2A3 has a strong low-frequency texture, and its mid-low frequency control is better than 300B. The mid-frequency is quite thick and beautiful, and the interpretation of human voice is unique and appealing. The interpretation of various musical instruments is very personalized. The high frequency is slightly more restrained than 300B, which is another kind of beauty. The appeal is very good, the hall sound is rich, the tone is natural and smooth without any decoration, the performance of saxophone in jazz is touching, and the hoarse voice of the bass is also unique. Listening to Guangdong Cantonese opera can make you quite involved and catchy. The string music is \"very much gone\", the piano cavity has a strong woody feel, and the tension of the cello tendons and the musicians\' skills are fully expressed. The reasons why I like 2A3 are: 1. It is easy to make, and the screen voltage (about 300V) is relatively easy to find. Electrolytic components with this withstand voltage are relatively easy to find. The heat generated by power transformers is very small, and the safety factor is high. 2. More importantly, the unique sound of 2A3 is attractive. All 2A3 post-stages can be designed to be very simple, and the signal path is very short, which conforms to the principle of \"simple is best\" for tube amplifiers. In order to pursue the unique sound quality of 2A3, the author has tested multiple circuits, and now shares three of the simple-to-make and easy-to-adjust circuits with DIY enthusiasts.
