| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Charles, I would not clip the leads and suggest simply heat shrinking over the leads. Are you doing the job? | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp Wolf, like your humor! | |
| Hookup wire for tube amplifier? Solid core copper wire is the way to go for best sound. No need to spend big $. | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp Good news! | |
| toning down the ps audio perfect wave dac I will answer your question directly rather then taking you different placeS already done. You will wan't PIO - paper in oil caps. Ampohm will do what you want. They have several still available and tend to focus more on the mids. I think The Tube... | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp Each tap has two wires, not one.....I still think you have 7a total for the filaments. Just call or email your builder for the specific answer to this question to be 100% sure. | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp Your transformer is made up of several sections or windings. The 6.2v winding for the power tube filaments is what is suspect for the KT120 tubes. The windings for the B+ supply are fine.Will the situation with the filament draw over-taxing your t... | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp Looking into it.......in general. Based on what you told me, your pushing it. Again as Wolf said, it may work fine, but I would check for overheating as you don't want the unintended consequence of a tranny failure in a year or two... | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp Yates, good idea. Amps will work, but the tranny may be taxed and lead to premature failure down the road. It may take a couple of years but.... | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp Ya, your amp is a PCB board. Can't tell from the pictures. | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp If you have only one 6.2 tap coming out of your tranny - meaning you only have that one winding for your power tube filaments, then follow the wires to the power tube it goes two. It should hook into pins 2 and 7 of one of the power tubes. Usually... | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp Yater, I assumed 7A max spec on your tranny. I may be mistaken as your tranny may well have TWO 6.2volt/7A taps meaning you have a total of 7A per side (two tubes). If this is the way your amp is wired, then you are all set.Just make sure you have... | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp The filament tranny I purchased has two taps and each one rated for 6A. This works great as the max needed is 4A per two kt120's. | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp One last comment. It may "work" fine and you may think all is well....however, over time you may bring your output tranny to a quicker then usual end. The fact that your output trannys can handle 100 watts has nothing to do with your power tranny ... | |
| KT120 on Copland CTA-405 integrated amp As I understand it each power tube will require the rated filament juice. In this case KT120's will pull from the 6.2v 7 amp taps. Each KT120 requires a minimum of 1.7A. Four tubes x 1.7a = 6.8A. The tranny is rated for 7A so.....However, the KT12... |
