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...

I always was “concerned” about those large high voltage triodes: 211, 845, GM70…. They kind of different… The 845 always was brutal and not elegant, 210 was elegant but not sophisticated, and the GM70 was sophisticated enough but no one build a...

A visitor of my site sent an email about Australian Patrick Turner who is geting more SET power by paralleling the 845 tubes. It is not uncontroversial amps but itis 55W of SET…

Very interesting! (and impressive construction there KO)I know this isn't quite the subject of the thread, but could you tell a bit more about the 212E amp, in particular, the regulator topology?Regarding 845 vs 211 - Romy, I suspect what you were he...

One last thing I can do is buy some Mu metal sheet on Ebay and lined up the transformer can and potted with wax as you said, but that's too much work and probably do not work as well as on a separate chassis, so for now I will listen the way it is an...

The reason that I built the 6C33C preamp was to explore the 6C33C true musical potential like I did with the 845. Not only did I compare the sound of these tubes in power amp, but also in preamp. The reason is that with power amp you might hit some l...

Yes, it would be very interesting to hear the difference between a 6C33C amp with and without tube regulation, but also they are too many thing to try too, ... the possibility is endless here.My recent experience with two different ...

[quote user="KOTriode"] On dynamic, the 6C33C tube showed its ability to go deep in the bass on Ray Brown trio recording of Soular Energy which is excellent for a 15W SE , the 845 amp can do better, but not by much, but probably because of its 25W ou...

Nice thank you for the link, see the "lo SE100-1", 169.0 USD for 7Kg, it's cheap and they look good.So I was Happy with my choice of parallel 845 (I was hesitating with GM-70 but after a difficult decision I decided that the GM-70 filament consume tw...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Ok, I will try to lower the primary impedance like you suggested, but it will be on the new 6C33C mono block amplifier that I am building. The custom made chassis will be finished by next week and I have the better components w...

Wow! I did not realized that almost 4 months have passed since I wrote last.
Quite a few things have happened the last 4 months that I have played with the 6C33Camp/preamp combo. I have tried at least 3 different vendors on the Ulyanovsk type, the ...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]As to the best transformers souding more transparent than the best resistors, I'll believe it when I (don't?) hear it. You claim to have heard this but I most certainly haven't. [/quote] Well, the claim is no...

While it is rare that any component under "review" will be panned outright, it is not uncommon for the "reviewer" to refer obliquely to the component's flaws. In some cases, the flaws may even be presented or offered up as "features", or it may...

[quote user="KOTriode"] Without regulation, this amp would not work correctly due to its design: DC coupled and fixed bias. The high transconductance will make the bias current varied as much as 50-100ma due power line fluctuation without the reg...

I went today to Srajan’s site check the news and saw the following:

112-71-300B works for me although I sometimes use some 845 PP amps for the lower frequencies.[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/murrayjohnson/e96aaf9e.jpg[/IMG]...

Romy,
No, the DAC was not set at maximum level (for best sound) while Cyrille listening to the system. It was set at normal volume for the whole system. When Cyrille dropped by, I was showing him the Field Coil open baffle speaker system which con...

With 6C33C output run at 40W plate dissipation, this amp run much hotter than an 845 amp with output tube running at 100W. I measured the hottest point on the bulb and it is about 380F. I guess the due to short bottle , the heat spread on the ch...

I have a preference for making the power supply a certain way and using certain types of components. If I do that and am consistent about it, I can get better results from some of those old tubes than I can from the more recent types. But hearing one...

Hi Romy,Am I misunderstanding something about the 6C33C?I had a look at the operating point you recommend for this valve in your 'full range' Melquiades amplifier. The way you are using it seems to give almost 20% THD.Does this sound good or is it ju...

Hello every body, I live in France and I'm new on this forum.I'm thinking to build (some months) a mono big Single Ended amplifier (200-300 watts) made with triodes (IDHT or DHT doesn't matter for me) for outdoor professional audio.Have you got an on...

I am not sure whether as regulator or reference, but I believe that Josh Stipich has used them successfully with high voltage 845 amps and perhaps other similar amps, and he seems to have addressed stability and noise issues.If one must have tub...

For what it is worth, unless you are irradiating a concert hall, the SH50 is perfectly adequately driven by a 15W single 845-based SET, and I will shortly find out what it sounds like with a full range Melq. ...
|
|
The aim was to try to reproduce opera in a room, which conventional speakers seem to do so implausibly, at least the few I have been exposed to. Why the SH50 gets closer than the others I do not know: perhaps it is coherence across the frequency rang...
