| 45 Lovers - what are your favorite tubes? Well, I have to embarrassingly admit that I misidentified my 45 tubes above. I pulled them out and they are national union. Listened to them for a while last night and bass was good but midranges were not as good as my sophia so I'm back to li... | |
| Fezz Audio Mira Ceti 300b? Ok. And I wouldn’t have answered except I’m afraid you won’t find anyone with personal experience. I hope you do. As for other amps, search around and you can find them. I just posted a photo in the "45 Lovers" thread of the amp I am currently li... | |
| 45 Lovers - what are your favorite tubes? As promised, I put the 45s back in tonight. Sound great. I’ll leave them in a few days and change back to see if I can choose which I prefer. First thought is bass is tighter with the 45s. Links are to my google photos page. https://photos.app.go... | |
| 45 Lovers - what are your favorite tubes? I have one set (my amp uses 45, 2A3, or 300b). I bought a pair of kenrads on ebay just to have a set. They sounded good. I settled on some 2.5V 300B mesh from sophia but I've been meaning to put the 45s back in. I'll try to remember to do that... | |
| Fezz Audio Mira Ceti 300b? Sorry to have bothered you. I'm sure with your people skills you'll get lots of help. Have a good life. jerry | |

| Cable re-termination in NJ area I think people picture the modern version of scientists in white coats doing all work at the OEM facility. And some small shops, just one guy, have that advantage. He has to do it all. But in a shop with multiple employees, hire a qualified cir... | |
| need advise, which is the weakest link in my audio chain I'd say DAC is your weak spot. The DAC is the heard of the digital system. In your cord discussion you said the DAC is not in use. So you are using the DAC in he CD player to convert to analog. Not high end. Tuners are not so good. I guess y... | |
| Fezz Audio Mira Ceti 300b? Autobias is never my first choice. It's an attempt to quiet the fears of those who think bias is too technical for them. If you have 3rd grade math skills you can do bias calculations and get your bias right for each tube. Or just bias each to ... | |
| Question about wpc on tube amps Low power SETs are great for sensitive speakers. You don't have those. Jerry | |
| Powercord for Infinity Reference Standard RS II-B EQUALIZER So the common 5.5mm OD has 2 different IDs 2.5mm and 2.1mm. So if you have a 5.5mm connector and it is loose, you probably need 5.5 x 2.1. I have adapters I use in a pinch but I always put a high quality connector on the end eventually. PS th... | |
| Cable re-termination in NJ area Is it DIY, or is it professionally done? Who would you rather have working on your equipment, a $25/hr trainee or a physist/nuclear/mechanical engineer with 40 years of experience and lots of fabrication/shop experience? And no, I’ve never had t... | |
| Fezz Audio Mira Ceti 300b? A lot of people here like Aric Audio. Toolshed amps. There are Dennis Had hand made amps floating around if you search Look for point to point architecture and SET design (they are starting to do other things with 300b now). Jerry | |
| Fezz Audio Mira Ceti 300b? Lots of 300b choices in that price range. Is it the toroidal transformers that attract you? Tubes provided are blah. I'm guessing that it is PC board based. Neither the review or the website provide any details on construction. BTW, I don't s... |
