| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @earthbound Are those the 6V6GTs? Let me know and I'll get another pair en route to you, they should've lasted much longer than that. I usually see these tubes last at least a couple of years in this amp. Best regards, Aric | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Not a problem! You'll have to let us know how they sound ;-) | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET I would try swapping the WE's left to right and then powering the amplifier back on to see if now the other meter is one line higher. If the same meter stays higher, then you can use a small flathead screwdriver to adjust the small set screw at th... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET A relatively inexpensive quad I have running in a 300B Push Pull (I’ve also tried them in the PSET albeit briefly) are the Linlai 7300Bs. Sort of a KT150ish looking egg shape (which you’ll likely either love or hate), and a titanium coated plate s... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @charles1dad +1 I have three customers that can attest to that as well. One of them became a dealer after buying his first pair. He firmly believes in the sonics and quality of the WEs. | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @earthbound For the other tubes, I really like the Sylvania 6V6GT black plate / smoked glass that are in there now, I find them to be completely grain-less and overall nicely detailed and neutral. I’ve tried using some RCA and GE grey and black pl... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @earthbound Hope you enjoyed some good grub! You got it- in SET vs PSET mode there is half the current passing through the output transformers producing 9 watts per channel instead of 18, so the amp will definitely run cooler! Also, I'm not sure i... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Some nice cuts and taste in music there! I'm usually all over the place, but have been on a Woods Brothers kick for the last couple of days. Next day it might be Indie/Alt or maybe some classis Metal I used to listen to in the 80's. I hope you con... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @earthbound I've got to agree! I wasn't aware this album existed until now- so I decided to take a listen. I think I nodded off a few times and so I skipped a few tracks and the same thing happened! Lol. Best, Aric | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @earthbound Posting from the white mountains before breakfast! Hey, thanks for posting about the amp and I'm glad you're enjoying it! Regarding the highs, I would suggest giving the amp about 200 hours to fully flesh out as there will be signific... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @jtcf Oops! My bad, for some reason I was thinking we had built an amp for you earlier this year. Sometimes I get the Agon monikers confused with the actual names of the customers. However I'm very glad that the amplifier is the star of the show i... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @jtcf Hey! I would recommend you experiment with the Linlais on either side of the center 6SN7, as they are long-tailed pair phase splitters and indeed to impart quite a bit of their own character to the sound. The center tube is the voltage ampli... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Sorry for the delay, I'm just seeing this now. So far, I've only used the Linlai Elite 6SN7s without the "Global" silk-screening on them, and I've received 5 pair so far and not had any issues with any of them, and they have all sounded the same. ... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 @everyone who's commented based on actual experience with my builds, or myself I want to say Thank you. Word of mouth has been integral in keeping me building these products for the past 15 years and I greatly appreciate it. @smodtactical No ... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 Just to be accurate: The amp on USAudiomart was one the customer was determined to choose each and every part, and it was nowhere near $14K. It’s not a reviewed piece, and is not one I currently offer. I would not spend $200 on an IEC jack if it w... |
