| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? HI alexberger, Understand that you have tried various ways for improvement on the cathode RC bias circuit. I experimented using the simple transistor/mosfet shunt regulator to replace the RC. First of all, the bias voltage can easily be adjusted.... | |
| Lamm or Allnic Preamp First of all, I havn't audition the Allnic L-6500 line amp. However, I built my own 5845 single stage line amp with Monolith line output transformer. The result is really good with superb clarity and musical. The L-6500 is with similar design tha... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? I would simply say to my friend that he/she shall audition the audio system from his/her friends to realize what good sound should be. | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? I cloned the Mission 776 preamp. I found it sound so good indeed. I don't have chance audition the Mission 777 power amp. Maybe you should try this Mission amps if you have chance. | |
| Sun Valley vs Sun Audio 300b Why not take a look at the Audio Note Kit???? Johnny | |
| Recommendation for tube preamp I would suggest you shall look into the Raven preamp by Lynn Olsen. Lot of information from this post:- https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/spatial-audio-raven-preamp | |
| Counterpoint SA-1000 Phono Stage Issue After moving the shunt to 3-4 position, you would need to switch the Selector to other Phono position in order to get the signal through. | |

| Anyone at home at Krell? A friend of mine returned his KSA-300 to Krell for repair. Unfortunately, he has been waiting for a quote over 6 months now. No response from Krell. This is very disappointing. Johnny | |
| Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna! That's real BS. Usually, the electrolytic capacitor in audio amplifiers would last many years. The new ones are very reliable. I used the LCR meter to check the ESR, dissipation factor, and capacitance to confirm the condition of the Capacitor... | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted Hi Alex, The link is just for the US Audio Mart. You may search for 6V6 tube from there. | |
| Best current 845 Tubes I am surprised no one mentioned about the LinLai 845. I bought two pairs for C$380 with free shipping. I built the 845 SE power amp and played with the LinLai tubes over a year. They sound pretty good to me. LinLai also has several models of the... | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted Hi Alex, I would prefer using those NOS 6V6's. They are available from Ebay and https://www.usaudiomart.com/. | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted I used a simple transistor-MOSFET "Shunt regulator" to replace the RC (self-bias) in my 45, 2A3, and 300B SE amps. The sound quality improved significantly. All my audiophile buddies were amazed. The very nice thing is that I can set the right am... |
