Yah but more power really isn't a big problem because the amp's gain does not increase all that much. Are you just being economical?
Cary V12
Hi all ! I have a Cary V12 amp that I have decided to experiment with . After talking with Cary I have decided to try it with most of the output tubes removed.As most of you probably know there are a total of 12 output tubes , 6 per side . Last night I removed 4 tubes per side so I am now running 2 per side . This, in triode mode is about 16 wpc . I re-biased the tubes to 35 ma per tube . Cleaner , more detail and strangely enough , more bass . Was looking for a 15 - 20 wpc tube amp , this makes me re-think that . Btw , I only need 5 - 15 wpc with my 98db speakers .
