Daniel, if you have start, the igniting voltage, on the gas tubes 197V then it is perfect. If the tubes do maintain stable 150C then leave it as it. Each of the gas tribes has own stabilization voltage. If one of them has let say 148V and another 150...

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...

**** For
the 30h do you change r23 to like 42k? the arrow from r23 to l1 seems to
imply that r23 depends on the choke. does this effect r2?
Yes,
they are related. the R23 in the supply of the driver state is just a ble...

I woke up and thinking about the horn problem with fresh head I am thinking what did wrong. I did not measure the frequency response of the horn – I did not see a need for it – the sound of the thing is way beyond where it needs to be measured. I dis...

Thorsten Loesch who came up with the mods, details what caps and why on the first page of this thread. Lacking interest for multiple years of auditioning caps, I just built it that way (2012 or so) and have had no urge to change anything. Romy has pi...

Another consideration where I am planning to make the single-stage Milq different will be the power supply for the thing. The amp will have my typical SS fast-soft rectification with mandatory “gentle enter” LCRC filter, however I consider it t...

I run the driver tube at 170V @20mA. I don't think you need to run this tube at high current. It is very linear with wide signal swings at this bias. I can get roughly 70Vrms out of it. Output stage clips first, driver continu...

[quote user="cv"]...yes, I remember. I wonder if it's due to the large (and varying with signal) capacitance of the 6C33 input interacting with the small coupling cap. Hopefully this will be less of an issue with the 6e5p/6p.[/quote]Chris,
It is cer...

[quote user="floobydust"] Question: the 0.75 ohm resistors in the filament lines on the 2A3. Is it your intent to drive them from a 2.5VAC transformer or a 5.0VAC transformer. Voltage drop considering the 2.5amp filament requirement would result in i...

You should take care that you do not daisy chain the ground leads. Refer to following text.From my perspective, you should treat the L and N leads as one type of circuit and the PE as a separate circuit. Electrical codes, rules etc do not insist tha...

actually I agree with Romy, to a degree.... If the amplifier is a push pull device, using my output and input splitter devices of course, then an interstage transformer is a much better choice than rc coupling. Using transformers designed to the crit...

Hello again KIS
With unbypassed cathode resistor the input ECC83 is giving a gain of 30, adding the bypass cap boosts this to more than 60 thus gain will have more than doubled.
I can't try this mod yet because the 834P currently in my system i...

One of the ways to drag the REL tuner in the realm of civilized sound is to get rid of any crap that it has after its detector. One of the first things is to replace the 60 years old Germanium diodes with contemporary ultra fast and ultra low capacit...

Be careful with those 5751. ML2 became unstable with 6db more or less (I do not remember already) global feedback. Lamm told me a long and big story how critical for ML2 to have the global feedback of exact amount and how “properly” the feedback is i...

My sub-bass amp is back but I am not sure if I am comfortable with it. The guy from QAudio did a wonderful job to fix my modified B-2 power amp and now I have my amp for ULF with passive line level filter in it. So, Now I have two identical, fully fu...

Romy, I'm of course familar with your MF design and Jim's 6E5P curves is what I base my considerations on at this moment (along with the corresponding Spice model).Your DHT MF is quite self-balancing due to the large cathode resistor. WhatI have in m...

[quote user="op.9"]I chanced upon an interesting PSU arrangement for my 5842. I run a valve regulated powersupply at 210v and then drop down to 160v with an un-bypassed 8uf oilcap. Any more capacitance or bypasses seemed to be a step backwards in ter...
