Romy,
I have good confidence that it was the tubes and not the circuit. I have checked the cathode driver that bias the 6C33C and there was not any problem. Sure if the cathode bias failed, the 6C33C current will shoot way up and burned up the fuse...

Totally disappointed today, while I was listening to music, the left channel make a small pop and quit. The bias meter showed about 25ma bias instead of 200ma. Test the tube on bench showed that the tube current stay about 25-50ma max. This tube is g...

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 ...

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...

Hello Rakesh,Sorry, I designed these amp as a hobby just for my own use. I do not plan to make them available commercially, some of the people did copy some of my design and sell them commercially (with astronomically price)....

Yes, my friends called me that too, but hey, I can't help it, my curiosity on tube amp get the best part of me, plus I can't build enough power amp to power all my 3 tri-amp system. I collect all kind of transformer, just for the 845, I tried about 6...

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 ...
|
|
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 regulators. It mi...

Thank you for the comment on this amp, this is my first time of using the 6C33C tube, I decided to build this amp after reading about the Melquiades, this amp is just a quick experiment on the 6C33C sound, since I have...

The Melquiades give me inspiration to build this 6C33C amplifier. It's on a stereo chassis that has few unique features
- Vacuum tube rectifier separately for Input/Driver and Output tubes.
