That does make sense, using speaker level source to drive the transformer. Sounds like I need to adapt to a 2 tuber to get the level I need. Not a problem. This just helped me to make the decision, and would be a lot easier to do while I am building to begin with. Honestly, in my past creations I have used more amplification that was really needed, even had to take out a preamp stage once because I had too much. So, this time I was going to use the minimum. Ok, so to preamp it is!
