| 300b lovers I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is such a great thread. Oh! And hi @eddie138 ! Nice of you to drop in! | |
| 3C24 tube amp recently converted to 812 ouput power tubes. Dan, Please help a brother understand. Who initiated this redesign? Was it Paul’s idea? Or was three something more you were looking for from the 3C24 amps that had him recommend this update? Oh, and how much power do those tubes / amps put out... | |
| 3C24 tube amp recently converted to 812 ouput power tubes. @islandmandan Cool. You might recall I auditioned a pair of Paul's 3C24 amps in my home for a while. They sounded very good, though I ended up keeping my AES SE-1 300B Amp. Can you record here the story of what precipitated this change? | |
| 3C24 tube amp recently converted to 812 ouput power tubes. @grannyring Do a search on the Seattle Craigslist using the term "triode" and look for an ad for a pair of exotic looking triode amps. That’s Paul. He's currently listing a pair of 811A amps. Crazy looking and gorgeous. Paul is a superb builder. | |
| 300b lovers This most genial, thoughtful, educational, respectful and generous thread of all time deserves to be a "sticky". Not only is it full of wonderful history, a person can learn a lot from it. A little ways up @donsachs used the expression "nutshell"... | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? Rambling thoughts - All this talk of "not enough power for your speakers" makes me wonder how loud everybody is listening. I mean really, on a day-in and day-out basis. I seldom get louder than 80dB. Sometimes I go louder, but not as a matter of ... | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? @gregjacob I think you're going to have to try some different options in your system. while i appreciate the opinions of those who have a strong technical understanding, my experience is that things that should not work DO work for me in my syst... | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? Great question - great idea for a thread. I previously used a vintage (Cary Audio/Dennis Had designed) AES SE-1 300B stereo amp, from the ’90s. It sounded great and I loved it with my 93dB sensitive/efficent/whatever JBL studio monitors. Then I ... | |
| 300b lovers I want to share my thoughts about this equipment and about the show, and a little about my experience in the room. The opportunity to hear the Raven and Blackbirds and (hopefully) meet two people I’ve only "met" on the internet was a major reason ... | |
| Coda 16 vs. Pass Labs xa60.8 I owned an innersound electrostatic amplifier which is similar in design to the Coda amplifiers. It was superb. However, I suggest you check to see how loud you are typically listening, and, by extension, how much power you are using. You might ... | |
| 300b lovers Is anybody else building IT-coupled PP DHT amps these days? Kinda' seems like these amps are going to be (justifiably) pricey when they come out. | |
| 300b lovers Here's a question for @atmasphere - Though I'd welcome the comments from anyone else on this thread - these are all related to the question of what causes a power tube to wear out - 1. Does it matter what volume a power tube is played at? Does ... | |
| 300b lovers So, Lynn, given your comments, would an experienced technician know where to start to make these kinds of modifications? Or are they too obscure for the average tech to understand and execute... | |
| 45 Lovers - what are your favorite tubes? Has anyone here heard the TJ Full Music graphite plate tubes? It seems that most folks who use TJ Full Music tubes go for the perforated plate tubes for the visual experience. I recall reading a history of the owner/founder of TJ Full Music and II... | |
| 300b lovers This thread has been informative and inspiring and I’m looking forward to hearing these amps at the PAF next month. This thread has also caused me to reflect on the question of "what should I do" or "what should we do?" given the fact that Don &a... |
