3C24 tube amp recently converted to 812 ouput power tubes.

My 3C24 amp was recently converted to use 812 power output tubes. It has changed this amplifier dramatically, making it the best sounding amplifier this humble ancient audiophiler has ever heard.

Last night, I played the Dvorak String Quartets, G Major OP. 106 & F Major OP. 96 "American" by  Pavel Hass Quartet.

It was shocking how huge the quartet souded in my room. I was transfixed, mouth agape. I still can't get over how shockingly real it sounded in my room. 

So good!

I should have added all the credit has to go to Paul Birkeland of Bottlehead.

I am glad you have found a way to get much more enjoyment from your system.

I also love the Dvorak string quartets and if you enjoy Haydn quartets see if you can look out for The Aurin Quartet playing them, they are superb. Good luck and enjoy your system.

Congrats Dan! The 812 tube is a new one to me but they look like they're pretty cheap an added bonus.

Thank you gentlemen. As one ages, things get tougher on a daily basis. Thankfully, music, and my system,  I am able to enjoy better than ever.

Regards,

Dan
