Well, it is getting interesting. I was able to make my Hillock TV-2 tester to test the 6C33C. I spend a few hours to filtering the plate voltage and replacing a couple resistors to 50W instead of the 5W. The plate coils in TV-2 is 100mA but it looks ...

[quote user="Paul S"]To be clear, I do NOT recommend anyone else leaving any 6C33C in 50+ Watt boost position this long….[/quote] To be clear, I have ML2 with 6C33C in 50+ Watt and the amps were running some for days without shutting down – not probl...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Currently I have Jack Elliano’s made 450mA, large, single section LF transformer that begin to roll somewhere around 800Hz. The transformer ha s a lot of core mass and at full Melquiades’ LF power (~20W) it begins to clip ...

So, it seems the replacement valve was duff. It was a 6c33c from 1966, not a 6c33c-V which I had before, but that ought to be irrelevant. Odd. ...

Yep the same company (they also make a VERY good sounding OTL using the 6C33C tube). I have heard that zillion tube amp and it is also quite good (but I thought the 6C33C amps captured the "correct" tone better). You should try to hear th...

[quote user="KOTriode"] 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 , t...

One more thing that I would like to point out in context of the recent Marc Mickelson’s review. Marc wrote:
“The Atma-Sphere amps are certainly more powerful than the ML3 Signatures, but not noticeably so unless you clip the Lamm amps. “
Here is wh...

I speak with people, receiving emails, read others comments here and there and I constantly surprised how the accidentally obtained and unreasonably interpreted data become a wide spared audiophile myths.
For instance there is a strong believe, wit...

Dominik,
I do not think that you need suggestion from me. If Pieter looked at the schema then everything is very much identifiable in there and he shall know what to do. Let me to give you alternatives that are not at the schema.
The 12,6V/...

Jim, I have sent you the tubes – it might be an interesting journey.
I send you:
1) 6C33C that was working with both cathodes approximately a year. It is not dead year but it is deep into retirement age. Run it at 220V and 200-250mA full-tube,...

Hi Romy,I am very interested in what you have found out about the 6C33C tube lifetime because I am using a pair of Silvaweld OTL tube reference (their name for them not mine) amps that use 4 x 6C33C-b tubes per monoblock (so a total of 8). Thes...

Today I spent many hours trying to remove large LF transformers from Melquiades belly and replace them with another one that would load my 6C33C a bit harder. I do idle my output tube very hard and my objective was to get to let it go slightly. The ...

Well, as I understand there is no truly GM70 vs. 6C33C context yet (sound in the respectfully equitable load) from you and it will be very interesting to hear from you when you feel that you are ready to say something. As I understand they are the sa...

Cyrille, thanks for the comments. The KOtriode’s 6C33C preamp is certainly a unique thing and not a lot of people have reference how it might sound. Not it is too complex but rather not a lot of people have balls to make preamp out 6C33C. In fact yea...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] ... did anyone have an OK sounding amp with ½ 6C33C ...[/quote]The 6C33C has only one pin that connected to both plates. Since I use ½ of 6C33C in my MF and UpperBass channels then I theoretically burn just a hal...

The transformer in this preamp was given from a friend who want to learn how to wind transformer. If I remember correctly it started out as UBT, they were bought (when UBT was operating in the Silicon Valley) at the company swap meet. They were rejec...

Yes, if you have a midbass horn that more or less properly built then modesty and humility of the horn setup is the key ingredient of the horn sound. When I have my old transformer 11:1 then I had the midbass horns calibrated so perfectly that you ...
|

I am not too worried about the 6C33C bass, since I have other alternative. Even if lower loading will improve it, the problem is to get more power out of the 6C33C to a 40W (PSE perhaps) level to be able to drive the 12in or 15in woofer, even then th...

This subject of comparing the quality of ML2 and ML3 sound is very interesting and I do not think that it will be ever observed in public. I hoverer do have interest to learns about comparative capacity between properly sounding ML2.0 and ML3. The M...

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...

Paul,
I re-mapped your post to your older thread; I hope you do not mind…
Anyhow, I find absolutely nothing in the older ML2’ sound related to L1/L2 “X-Factor”. As I suggested in the second post of the flowing thread:

After a few years I have again pair of Lamm ML2 in my room and I decide to take advantage and render my experience with this amp into a format of my today’s understanding. I know ML2 quiet we and used it with a number of loads. Over the time I develo...

N-set, a friend of mine built an amp with this monstrous USSR tube. It has 3 stages and the GU81M is driven by 6C33C.Within context of driving mid or high sensitivity bass drivers, this is all you need. In comparison, his previous SET with 6C33C soun...

Here is the general specification for the parts that I used. The selection of the parts implies some liberty of course. It will be your amp after all, not mine - do whatever you wish. In some case when I feel that requirement is critical I will stres...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]A possibly dumb question here: When you and Paul give figures in milliamperes, where are you measuring the current (at what points), or are you extrapolating the figure? [/quote] The 6C33C current is measured in mA. The wa...

The Bass OPT's for my DSET have been wound. We have come back to a 1000R plate loading and into 1R the 6C33C grid clips at 9.36W and 5.8% distortion. The -0.5dB points at full power are 5.9Hz and 5kHz.A nice result really, and about where I thought...
