Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up
All tube amplifiers sound OK after 30 minutes. But if you listen carefully sound is getting better during 2-3 hours. Especially it is true for not feedback circuits. I also paid attention that this difference gets bigger after I tweaked and improv... 
Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up
My 300B SET amplifier also sounds it best after 3-4 warm-up hours. After 1.5-2 hours it sounds not bad but not as magical smooth and clear as after 3-4 hours.  When I had transistor amplifier Plinius 8200 integrated it was always on. Without coup... 
When were the best tube amps made?
Hi @larryi , What kind of power supply capacitors did Western Electric use in 59A amplifier? I'm not sure it was already the mass production of electrolytic capacitor then. So probably they used oil capacitors with paper and foil. This capacitors... 
When were the best tube amps made?
When I had Spendor 2/3 speakers I liked these speakers in combination with McIntosh MC30 monoblocks from 1950x. Than I moved on to high sensitive speakers Altec 604E I recognised that 30 Watt push-pull is too rough for such speakers. I decided to...

It can be turntable mechanics conditions issue - motor, idler or springs.  
Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp
I like Furutech AC FPX-Cu. Great value for money!    
SUT - electrical theory and practical experience
Hi @atmasphere , I have a question for you regarding the use of feedback in tube phonostage. Unlike a power amplifier, the frequency response of the RIAA implies a deeper feedback at high frequencies. Is this kind of feedback deep enough to work ...
