@atmasphere I take it you have a 12AT7 LTP @ +-300V with something like a cascode 10M45S CCS below? Or are we talking fancy pants?
SET Shootout China VS The USA
2A3 SET from china arrives any day now.
The tech who loaned me his UX250 (aka 50 Tube) amp, with a 12AU7 in front + a 6BH7 (??) , has incredible pure Cobalt out trans. ($1k+ each back in 2000, now no longer in production). . he will help me set up the 2A3.
Has a AX+AU my 2 fav front tubes anda quad of 2A3's.
My speakers are pure neutrality, no coloration, no distortion,.
So whatever amp/ source you plug in, will register the nuances inherent in the circuit.
Will be very interesting.
USA has pure cobalt out trans which gives the edge in power, but the china 2A3 has a 2 tubes per channel.
Gonna be interesting and will post a YT upload with comments,
AFTER TESTING IS COMPLETEED.
Hand on to your horses at the OK Corral.
Grab a beer at the saloon,
sundown shootout at the edge of town.

@pesky_wabbit , well he did say he was tossed from one forum already and his insistent style that only he knows the truth is just very reminiscent of Jeff. I actually haven't seen Jeff anywhere in a long time, no forums left that will allow him to participate or did something happen to him I wonder. I didn't hate the guy but his know it all attitude and bizarre thinking at times got on my nerves. I would welcome him back if he toned it down......a lot!

I like vintage iron too.
This is when steel was cheap.
Now with high industrialization past 20 yrs has placed critical demands on steel so prices have sky rocketed.
Which is why the trans in the Yaqin are no doubt small, at $1300, ,,my tech tapped on the 3 covers,, sounded hollow inside.
WEll, no big deal, at $1300 , sounds great, I'm happy.
Better trans gives nunace superior bass.
Again dual FR pad up the bass 60hz region. Can't complain on certain tracks, I get all the bass i want/wish for. |
