| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Hi @zipost ,I use CLCRCRC filter: C1-L-C2-R1-C3-R2-C4C1 is 30uF Mundorf polypropylene. I used it for many years and I like results. I don't want to use bigger capacitor because it is not good for my expansive GEC 5u4g.C2 is 2x 100uF Nichicon - 300... | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Hi @grannyring ,Yes ClarityCap are great! But I don't have enough space under the hood of my amplifier to put ClarityCap in drivers (6f6g) and input (6sn7) tubes B+s.So, I decided to try Mundorf Mtube 30uF capacitors in these positions. (I don't... | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Which store does sale 4-pole Jensen now?Part Conexions and Hificollective don't have them in stock. | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Hi @zipost ,Thank you for recommendation. Maybe I will try 4-pole Jensen later.But what is wrong with Mundorf M-tubes?There are polypropylene type two-pole type: http://www.mundorf.com/en/?category=hifi&menu=caps_power&content=mlytic_tubec... | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Hi @grannyring , I installed Mundorf 30uF Mtube capacitors in driver and input tubes B+ instead of old 100uF Nichicons.The first impression was good - warm tonality, fast bass and micro-dynamics.But now I recognize that my amp sounds too forward a... | |
| Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers Vintage Altecs (605, 604, Valencia, 19,...) are very high efficiency speakers.You can find some of them on second hand market for less then $2K.Klipsch Heresy also suite your requirements.JBL are not very high efficiency speakers but higher than... | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply I just added a scheme of power supply update and a general scheme of my amplifier to "my system" page. | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Hi,I did step 2 - removed Nichicon capacitors 2x100uF and 2x20 Ohm resistors (one resistor per channel) between choke and ClarityCap (output B+). I don't like results. Bass become lightweight. As result too light tonal balance andless informatio... | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Hi @grannyring , Thank you for advice!1. I run these new ClarityCap capacitors for 4 hours with Frubaby2 connected to amplifier input + 5 hour with normal music playing.So far so good. The difference between ClarityCap T600 and Nichicons is very i... | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Hi @grannyring , Power supply CLC filter in my amplifier is one for both channels. I use 20 Ohms resistors to separate left and right channel B+.Previously both channel B+s where the same point - the capacitor after the choke. After a break-i... | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Hi @grannyring , I installed two ClarityCap TC600 50uF capacitors (one per channel) to 300B B+ of my amplifier.You can see it in my system pictures.I didn’t remove old Nichikon capacitors I just put ClarityCap as bypass to Nichikons with 20 Ohm... | |
| Highly efficient speakers to pair with my SET amp Altec 604, 605, Valencia, model 19 - all are super efficient (~97-100dB/W) with good midrange, bass, dynamics and natural tone.Can be driven by any SET amplifier including flee power 45 and 2A3 tube SETs. | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Thank you!It looks like I can squeeze 50uF ClarityCap TC600 under the hood of my integrated amplifier.Regards,Alex. | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Hi @grannyring ,Thank you for information.How can you describe a difference between Mtube and Clarity TC?Do Clarity TC have a better tone?Many ears ago I tried to use Solen capacitors in power supply and I don't like synthetic tone of Solens compa... | |
| Who needs a Preamp?? To use or not to use preamp it depends from a system and amplifier topology.I use SET 300B amplifier. And in this topology the short signal path is important.My amp is integrated and it is a good solution for low power SET amplifiers.I also have a... |
