Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]T, thanks for educational reply. I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from but unit I try better transformer, presumably your S&B TX-102 I would not be able to correlate your observations with my...

The two stages 7788-7721 phonostge can go at near 70dB and it were what I was intended to put in that Chinese chassis. I would like 6-10db more. A transformer? A semiconductor gain stage? A third tube stage? I do not know…
Actually reticently, two s...

[quote user="hagtech"] I didn't want to steal any of your ideas. [/quote] This is very bogus notion. If the 6E5P is somebody’s idea then would be not me but Dima’s as he discovered the tube “for Sound aplicatios” in 90s while he was fixing a TV. Howe...

Like I said above, I planned from the start to try battery power just because John Wright recommended it, and it seemed like up to that point we were talking the same language, which was borne out when i listened to the unit as I received it.&nb...

Hello chaps,Firstly, something I forgot before was that the high impedance coil will have more turns... so the DCR etc will be stepped down as seen by the voice coil. My guess is that overall it will still provide slightly less damping, due to imperf...

This is what I try to stick to: Try to create closed magnetic (steel) loops around magnetics. Ideally acompany itwith closed electric (copper) loops. This I think Pieter has done that already for you, but,as Romy impicite suggests, double boxing will...

Over the course of the last year I have been gently harassing my transformers-savvy surrounding trying to evangelize them into amorphous core. They stubbornly and perhaps stupidly resist. Some of them not…

Merlin, I have nothing against Bernings, in fact I found it all educational as I never had exposure to them. Well, perhaps I did hear them at some kind of hi-fi show but just did not paid attention. I hardly believe that I will hear Bernings as I’m l...

Be careful to relieve me if I am not impressed, many promised no one excelled. :-)
Chris, I do not think that you will see me to think about transformers for other channels. I do not think that what I do will be some kind of resolution for Amor...

[quote user="Wojtek"]I assembled SUN 2A3 amp for my friend and found it to be quality kit and very easy assemble. Kit was old .I think late 90's so maybe quality deteriorated since then. I have variety of 300b Czech tubes and (Eml 300b , KR 300...

Dominik, I think you took it a bit wrong and delivered to Tribute a message with a wrong accent.
As I understated that was the reply from the Tribute guy. No one accuses him in cutting down core size but based upon the available inductance you...

Folks, This thread caught my attention, because here Romy waxes lyrically about the failings of the Denon Cartridges. Now I only consider ONE Denon worth bothering, the ORIGINAL 103, it is often inaccuratly called 103C. It has a medium compliance (ar...

[quote user="cv"] I see why you want those tap options now - essentially you want to be able to load down the 6e5p but still use all the secondary sections. There may be some frequency response variations in the ultrasonic range by playing the tap ga...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Still, I feel that methodologically it is not right
way to build a playback. [/quote]No disagreement from me on this point. This is all just a thought bubble for now. Even if I wanted to press go on this project based ...

[quote user="cv"]Hi Romy, I dunno if you mean the C-core materials itself or the completed transformers... if the former (perhaps a poor term in this context), then http://www.elnamagnetics.com have what you are looking for. Seach for AMCC - these ar...

[quote user="drdna"] Would you then suggest that this approach demands the DSET approach to succeed? [/quote]
The DSET resolves all problems with SET amplification; it is not surprise that Sakuma went there. BTW, my familiarity with Sakuma’s DSET wa...

Interesting, Very interesting.
I might make some observations now, claming this recent modification as a success. The minor gain of sensitively certainly did not heart but the major advantage was defiantly the “activation of ceiling”. It is hard to ...

Looks fine, Anthony. I am not sure what resonance frequency tells
you. Anyhow, a great advantage of your pipe topology for LF is that you will be
able to pile up as many drivers as you need in order to hit the desired
reference DB level. There is...

Well Paul,I want to thank you very much for your comments. I appreciate what you mentioned about Occam's Razor, but I do feel that here I am not trying to make a new theory of electronics necessarily. Rather I am just trying to develop th...

Romy,
I ran the tube conservatively at 40W, because it is still breaking in, and I do not want to push it too much power to damage it (then I will have to break-in a new tube all over again). This amp can give max power at 20.35W (12.76Vrms into 8 ...
