| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Do you live anywhere near NJ, Granny? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Oh, they sound excellent, but you can be the judge of that, I'm a little biased... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil You are correct, Bigkidz. These:Midlife Crisis. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil BigKidz,You and Carl are welcome to cme over to my place (you've been there before when I owned Supratek) to hear my system with my new 833C amps and 26 preamp. I've fine tuned it over the last few months since I built the amps.You can also bring ... | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? Jwm, thanks for the compliment but I'm not planning to make any commercially, for a few reasons. First, I have a demanding full-time job that I'd like to do for another 8 years or so. Second, the amps cost ~$12k just in parts, some of which are pa... | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? Thanks Granny, WRM and Rodman...It took me a year of careful planning and building but I hope to enjoy them for the rest of my life. | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? Rodman, I was pretty much answering this statement by Brf:"What you need is a tube manufacture to manufacture a more powerful triode tube."Just letting ya know it exists already... | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? Wrm, about 180lbs per side. The output transformers weigh 62lbs each.Here's a pic of the OPTs before potting, with an ECC83 tube for reference:OPT Core | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? Wrm57, how about peek underneath?Underside | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? I built an SET with 200WPC. It uses the 833C Directly Heated Triode tube. It sounds like an enormous 300B amp, with better bass, IMO.Not commercially available, but it can be done.The Midlife Crisis | |
| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Brf, do you trust your interconnect shields to carry high voltage fault currents safely to ground? Pretty sure mine would explode with 2300V on them. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,Check out the Tubelab SSE, which stands for Simple Single Ended. There is a Tubelab Forum on DIYAudio.com, with lots of tips and George is a great guy, too.Reports are they are excellent sounding amps. | |
| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Finally, there are "ground loop breaker" circuits published in various places on the net which can also resolve ground loop issues. These consist of a resistor, cap and diode in parallel and allow the breaking of ground loops without resorting to ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? To address the original question, IMO the greatest bargain in SET amps is one you build yourself. SETs are very simple circuits, even a beginner can make one. How it sounds will depend greatly on the power supply and the output transformers you se... | |
| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Also, if you're handy, you can measure the potential on the chassis of your gear, then reverse the power transformer primary leads and measure again...one orientation will be lower in chassis potential, and that orientation will thus produce less ... |
