| The 300B World There is SET design trade off - coupling capacitors vs interstage transformers. Most people tell that transformers are the best solution. But modern capacitors like Vcup, Duelund, Jupiter are better that were available 20 years ago. Technically ca... | |
| Amplifier pairing for Altec Flamencos Hi @jplunkettj , There are a lot of information about crossovers for Altec on Jeff Day page. Jeff prefers Hiraga schematic crossover for his Altec speakers. https://jeffsplace.positive-feedback.com/ https://jeffsplace.positive-feedback.com/%e2%... | |

| Amplifier pairing for Altec Flamencos Here are my two cents about Werner Jagusch crossovers. I used my Altec 604E with the original n1500 corosvers. Then I bought Werner Jagusch crossovers. First impression was very good, but then I realised that the sound is too coloured. I bought a ... | |
| Amplifier pairing for Altec Flamencos I have experience with Aletec 604E that has similar sensitivity to Altec 846A. In the mid size rooms that I had 200-300 sq feet, 300B SET has enough power. I used McIntosh MC30 monoblocks (30+ watt), Marantz 8B in triode mode (20 watt), and 300B ... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? Hi @mihorn , Some legendary vintage speakers produce sound stage depth very well. For example, Quad ESL57, Tannoy coaxial speakers from 50x-70x. | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? Many Classical records made in real hall acoustic environment with small number of microphones have a real soundstage depth. I mean big part of live records (from 1970x - 1990x) and records done from 1955 to 1965. | |

| Tube amps - what 3 things… Hi @ieales, My friend does the same thing with 300B SET with Shishido schematics: ECC82 SRPP - direct coupling - 6F6 - interstage trans - 300B fix bias. The same excellent results. The ESR would be quite different with parallel caps... Yes y... | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… Hi @atmasphere , In my case cathode resistor was 820 Ohm, so: with 100uF - f = 2Hz, 10000uF - f = 0.02Hz 100000uF - f=0.002Hz In theory, even 100uF is good enough. But in the real life the difference between 10000uF and 100000uF is very clea... | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… Hi @ideal8592 , In my case 100uf/16v were Black Gate CE W (M). 10000 were the same Black Gate + Nichicon Muze 10000uf/16v. 100000 were the same Black Gate, Nichicon Muze + Nichicon KA 9x10000uf/16v + Elna 3300uF/10v It wasn't my "invention... |
