| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Mikirob you guys will learn alot about how an amp works and as I mentioned to Rebbie you'll learn that you can tweak a part or two in the amp to taylor the sound to your liking. I have no idea how Audio Note speakers sound with Alnico drivers. It ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Charles I'll most likely be using EMLs in the second amp but it really depends on how EML300bXLS sound with Audio Note Transformers. Love the EML's they are so well balanced that I can use AC heat on the filaments with no hum pots. (The eliminatio... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Charles, Yes the Sophia Electric 91-05 is a beautiful sounding output transformer and my amp is tweeked out WE91a with Black Gates in the tube bypasses and Duelund couplers and I recently optimized the power supply with some help from one of the g... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Raylinds, You are building quite a AN Kits system. The new Mentor preamp looks really great. I was hoping it might have a phono pre but I guess not. Your Kit 4 speakers have the Alnico drivers. Congrats! And congrats to Rebbi who will be hearing g... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Grannyring, Looks like the Wima DC Link caps I am trying in my power supply and the ClarityCap TC600 you are using are both Metallized Polypropylene. Looks like we are on the same path. Regards-Jet | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Grannyring, I am thinking about building a 2nd 300b amp. I am not sure a PSE amp can be switched to a SE amp. The output transformers usually have different primary impedance for PSE and SE amps the the current rating for PSE will be much higher t... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... I dont know about that Dan. You have taught us a thing or two while making us drool over your DIY Garrard 401 plinth and I will not forget your Class D amp I am storing that note away for future reference. Grannyring-Thanks for the Clarity Cap tip... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... A super cool thing about DIY that I have found most enjoyable is the subtle and not so subtle changes in sound when I change out one part for another. If one wants a bit more "old school" warmth in their system, dont go out and buy a new speaker c... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Grannyring, If you have the spare parts building one would be a challenge but it would probably sound great. Plus you have Jack's notes on the power supply and transformer choice. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Yep and that's one of the drawbacks of direct coupled amps...the B+ is usually very high. Especially for a 300b amp. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Lots of direct coupled 45 and 2A3 SET amps but not too many 300b amps. Harder to drive a 300b tube without a cap or an interstage transformer. Plus a direct coupled amp has to be done just right or all sorts of bad things can happen of there is a ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? somebody got these amps for $1375+160 shipping. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Gannyring, 1 hour left. You can go to the electra-print website and see the schematic. Very tempting but I have no idea how it sounds - Jet | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Have never heard a direct coupled 300b. There is an electra-print direct coupled 300b amp on ebay now. the auction ends today | |
| Harbeth speakers vs Audionote I listened to both and like both but like Larryi there is a way the AN-e's play music that made me prefer AN. The E's are more efficient and can be tucked away in the corners that also pushed me to AN-e. (NYC apartment friendly). Beware - I starte... |
