Romy, in the contrary, it is very unfair to compare my 845 amp with the 6C33C. The main reason is the 845 amp used the best output/interstage transformer available, while the 6C33C's output xformer is pretty good but far from being best for the 6C33C...

[quote user="TonyB"]The differences between the battery operation and AC operation are to be expected.One case is isolated (hopefully) from AC, the other case is not. If anybody thinks otherwise,they are fooling themselves. [/quote] Tony, the fact is...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]From what you describe I can conclude that your DAC is not good. You said you use DIY wireless DAC with tube output. I do not know what wireless mean in this context, but it is not important. I also know do not like any tub...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]A few post above Bill mentioned that he run his PP2000 from AdeptResponse power conditioner. I am not familiar if AdeptResponse helps to separate one PP2000 effect another. I am not also familiar with AdeptResponse its...

What you guys are missing is a grand scale of the concept. You are talking about voltages, implementation, electric chairs and the rest of irrelevant crap but I am talking about the pure inspiration from the concept. No one runs to solder anything. I...

I can only offer a simple solution to this problem.Decide on which row you wish to place digital services. I would also include anything that has a switched mode power supply because of the Y capacitor thing. Assume Row 1 will be used for digital s...

This is classical common mode noise interference on a common supply. This type of noise will pass right through any power conversion technology and in both directions. Due to the timing variations, I would expect it to be a little bit of mains inte...

[quote user="cv"] Consider a triode connected 13E1. 95W dissipation, will probably work beautifully with the existing OPT if you adjust the gap down and if you can rewire your arrays to present a somewhat higher impedance.Something like 400V-450V / 2...

Today I was listening music and after about one hour there was a big bang and my hole system was dead.My unit worked well for about 6 months now without any problems, out of the sky it blow up!The home main fuse of 16 Amps was blown-out but the 1...

Hi Romy,
I currently use a 3 stage transformer coupled amp with 112's, 71a's (as drivers) and your favourite 300B output valves:-) I'm not sure whether I'd go back to a capacitor coupled amp. I just acquired some Tango NC20 IT's to replace the NC...

[quote user="Bud"]Yes. Their is a direct correlation between surge current and dielectric materials dielectric constant. The voltages in question are high enough to use a thick dielectric material and just as with the effective resistance of the capa...

Latterly is have been some controversy with new Placette output impedance, it does not look like it is 3R but rather 37R according to my measurement. I need to clear it with Guy. I also desided to address (since the Active Placette is a discrete op-a...

Hi all, Just joined the cat house... funny seeing the mention of some old stomping grounds here... like Bendix in Red Bank, NJ... they were one of my accounts back in the late 70's. As some of you may know, the U.S. Army's electronics center was...

Lx_, it is so and not. I never made a secret that PP has some sensitivity to line before it but for the people who do not use it the degree of the comment would not be possible to understand. Even for PP the relative degree of the comments like my co...

In your earlier piece about how to use the S2 'properly' you wrote"Whatever happens between the 400 and 2,5 is pretty much unnecessary for you garbage. So, get any known to you soft capacitor of 3uF and place it in series with the S2 driver. This wil...

I will address the low voltage DAC power supply first since it has multiple applications.The front end comprises a commercial 48/12 volt 20 watt dc/dc converter. This basically is used to provide 1000 volt isolation input to output otherwise you...

[quote user="floobydust"]Plate supply = 350 voltsOPT Primary impedance - 3.5K
Cathode bias resistor = 866 ohm
Cathode bypass capacitor = 50uF
Grid resistor to ground = 249
You need to select a new OPT.... I would suggest the H-20-3.5U.[/quote]I b...

[quote user="Paul S"]Adrian, as a purely practical observation, I just re-read your examples of the format you suggest, and I have to say I would need a good deal more information than that before I could figure out enough of what was going on with t...

[quote user="drdna"] First, I do not accept the hypothesis. We must confirm that the Avicenna was working correctly when no impact on the sound was made. It has happened before that a simple mistake in observation led to a faulty hypothesis. It must ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
First of all, guys, can you name your posts on more identifiable way?A few comments I would like to make. I heard that the new revision of PP2000 has fans that do not run at full speed all time but have the speed of fan...

Ok, can somebody to elaborate on the judgment which filter is better in case it is a corrector that acts in the middle of auditable range, let say from 1000Hz? It is the same filter but let look at the theory of judgments.

Hi Cat,
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I used my typical “flash” techniques and discovered some leeks in that 50 years old enclosure. Sure it the leaks were there then it would be no “acoustic suspensions” and the driver would run further. So, fixed the...

[quote user="Axel"] I hope I got this right when going through this long thread with LOTS of information. Did you mention for upper-bass cross-overs Elko’s (electrolytic) only to be your preference? If I have it right, any special preference at a...

You do not have a single capacitor on that ribbon as your
cap acts as a second order filter along with the ribbon built in transformer.
You might want to push the ribbon further then 12per octave that you have. I might
not do it if you are “satisf...

[quote user="cv"]I wonder if it is the reactive components (blocking caps etc) that are to blame here, seeing as much of the problem is in the lower bass.[/quote]Chris, what you said made me to think.
Look, the output of Bidat and a SS buffer that b...

I recently spoke with Paul Eizik regarding the criticality of the open-air mounting of that driver instead of baffle-mounting. I decided to go extreme and to get rid of that plate that I had under the driver no mater now small it was, also I thought ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Celsius, I do not know what CCS you impended, did you drive 6e5p’s plate with constant current source?*1 I also do not know/like 6e5p with battery bias. The only application that I find 6e5p suitable was the Milq-style bi...

[quote user="JOHNR"]One of the things that I picked up in this thread is the fact that if you use 2 PSUs in series, the sound degrades.This is typical of one unit generating common mode noise and this adds to that produced by the second unit.Even if ...

Interesting that a notion of an Absolutely Transparent Stage is kind of bizarre. Let presume that we do have an Absolutely Transparent, musically and sonically, stage. The stage might be transparent only with own enclosed scope. If a stage modifies t...
