| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? @carlsbad2 : The 807 is a seven pin top cap connector anode tube. It is not swappable with octal power tubes. So how can you compare it to the common octal power tubes as you claim? | |
| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? @dogearedaudio : I don’t believe you. The 807 uses a top anode cap and a seven pin socket. It is not swappable with octal power tubes. I had some in my tube collection. | |
| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? Siemens never made a 6550. | |
| Fair Blind Test?? There will be surface noise on the LP. | |
| Repair options for Placette passive linestage? @czarivey If the passive line stage has a no-gain tube or transistor it has a power supply. Buffered circuit to reduce output impedance. | |
| Cd Source for my system Get a top-of-the-line Marantz universal player. Then you can play SACD's, Blue Ray audio and watch DVD's. | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted Check out the Bottlehead Stereomour 2A3 parafeed amp. There is quite a bit on diyAudio about this circuit topology. | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted I apologize! It was Joe Roberts who was editor of Sound Practices. Joe Boyd was indeed a record producer. Blame it on my old brain which is not getting any younger! | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted Joe Boyd of Sound Practices liked the 45 better than the 2A3. He also liked the half-power sibling of the 45 - the 71A - good for a mere 3/4 of a watt! I have some in my tube collection. | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted The 45 is from 1928. Earlier than the 2A3. It was designed for home radio receivers/consoles. It has half the output power of the 2A3. Two pairs push-pull in a console will give 8 watts. | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted A good source of knowledge about offbeat tube circuits/amps is Sound Practices magazine. Joe Boyd was editor. He liked flea-power amps (45, 2A3, 300B) with horn speakers like the Altec VOTT. | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted I also have a Sanei 260A SET amp from Japan. In it I have a pair of gold-pin Electro Harmonix 2A3’s. | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted The 6C6 is an older pentode (early 1930's) than the 6L6. The two are not interchangeable. Will Vincent (autospec) built my SET45 on an ST70 chassis using Emcron output trannies. A C6C drives a 45 for 1.75 watts out. Rectifier tube is a 5V4. I want... | |
| Paradigm Studio 20 V3 Tweeter Swap Bad idea to change tweeters! Chances of getting a proper match is nil. | |
| Record cleaning and realistic expectations I have never had a record label damaged by getting wet and rinsing with water. No need to worry about this! |
