| Upgrading specific components in a tube amplifier I upgraded my 45, 2A3, 300B, and 845 SE amps cathode RC circuit with transistor/MOSFET shunt regulator circuit. I can now adjust the cathode bias voltage for the power tubes. The sound quality improves significant with superb clarity. Real cool. | |
| Are EL34 based amps more musical than KT series based ? Or it's purely a matter of design? I noticed that both KT150 and KT170 are very linear in triode mode like the 300B and 845 DHT tubes. I expect they are the excellent performance if they can be used in small/medium power class A environment. | |

| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Let's hope the Tariff war will end soon through negotiation and co-operation. | |
| 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. | |
