| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? above >>To ignore specs because they have yet to give a defintive expression of the final sound is akin to throwing the baby out with the bath water.Amen. If the measurements do not "add up" to good sound it means we, or at least someone, ha... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Said above by Z: "In the real world, everything is a design trade-off" Hey, that's almost a direct quote from my first post.Anyway, thanks for taking it in stride and as intended. I read my post a couple hours after i posted it and thought, ohboy.... | |
| How to interpret the readings from tube tester? In additon to Ga5556's point "matching" is different for different circuits/amps. I just bought an old Citation to fool around with. Matching cathode currents, which is what most people mean isn't that important. You do not want them way off but y... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? I read the above rather quickly so I apologize in advance if I missed something.1) There are several basic papers on the topic one of which I know to be online which should be cited so folks can read the basic work for themselves and the LIMITED c... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? I've been messing around with low power for a couple years. I'm not evangelical about it. There are lots of ways to go and almost every design choice is a compromise of some sort. Many of the SET systems (amp/speakers) I find are really wonderful ... | |

| 2A3 vs. 300B single end triode.... Twl above:"Much depends on the amp design that the tubes are in"I agree with that.Below is a comment by Lynn Olson that has cauesd me to experiment with the driver stage a bit. I think it is harder to put a finger on what exactly is causing a part... | |

| 300B amp options Both the Bottlehead and Billie are excellent. I have done the Billie. It is an easy kit to build stock. It has loads of modifications that are well documented online. It could probably keep you busy for a year or just leave it stock and it sounds ... | |
| Scott receiver ++++ vintage electronics Here are a few online sources for vintage amps. You can get good background there. Scott, Dyna, Eico, Citations... all excellent old tube circuits. There are many others. You need to understand a few things about tubes and make sure there is a sch... | |

| I am ready for TRUTH, I can handle the TRUTH Tsrart:You forgot the F (frequency). The boob tube is AC and therefore is frequency dependent. The frequency of showings must be considered.I think you have to divide the whole thing by 2piF where F is frequency of showings per day. Think of the B... | |
| I am ready for TRUTH, I can handle the TRUTH Q above: "I have been afraid to ask this question... What effect does having a 65 Inch HD projection TV in between main's have?"A: Your IQ goes down 3db. I know this from experience. I have a 130" and mine went down 6db. Sincerely,I remain |
