Hello Romy,
Quite clearly, a high Gm device will have a higher voltage gain than a lower Gm (for pentodes, gain is Gm*Rload if single ended) and this is something we are after in a MC stage. Noise performance is crucial and below I am analyzing a ...

[quote user="twogoodears"] Yes Roman... I feel pretty like I entered a sort of "cul de sac", tube-wise... I contacted, few months ago, Western Electric USA and they told me that, at USD 750 ea. they have "plenty" of N.O.S. WE 437A... I've been ab...

Ah, those figures seem more reasonable - 30pF seemed a bit low. Well, I'm not sure what you should be on the lookout for - as you say, it's a completely different animal to having a 3uF in line with the S2. What I would suggest, and this isn't ...

Roman, thank you for your thoughts. However - you decided to use 6E5Pi to drive 6C33C, and the filed of competition in this case might be higher - including those E810F, E180F, EL84.. or even 12AT7, or even (probably) WE 437. ...

Frank Blöhbaum, from Sweden I believe, have designed for Thorens a preamp that I think the first outside of Russia commercial use my 6E5P tube.

I do not know if Frank reads this site but if ...

hI bRIAN, [quote user="Brian Clark"]The 834P was a revelation for me, being a circuit that I would have dismissed as "old hat" (Feedback? 12AX7 cathode follower? Do me a favour!).[/quote] Me too, but you know me, i'm mainly pragmatic. The EAR 834P is...

In my post above I have mention that Srajan is in a way a brainless parrot that repeats the heard and has no ability of desire to understand what was the noise about. His comments that 6E5P and E810F are “close electrical” is a good indication how it...

"... and I do not know if 3A/167M is better than anything else and I do not see why the metal socket is necessarily better then plastic – the socket is not the part of the tube."As you know, the 437A is like an on-steroids ECC83, ALL glass built, no ...

Hi Romy,I think you may be struggling to get 10-12db of gain out of a spud amp (the term is a play on "one tuber").... May just about get it with 6C45.... remember you will be stepping down something like 12 to 18:1 on the OPT.best case: 10db require...

I still would hesitant to short the scene and anode and it would require a very sever control of the tubes. The problem is that it would be necessary to do not only then they new (it not too difficult to put then before a fast scope and to see if the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Brain, C’mon, I was kidding about the “Electron Intensification Interface”! [/quote]
Ah, really? So you were just winding us up! Now there's a surprise ;o)
I was amassing a nice little stockpile of americum-241 too...

Brain, C’mon, I was kidding about the “Electron Intensification Interface”! There is nothing in this phonocorrector then a correct selection of tubes, thier proper (well almost proper) use and selection of the specific topological decisions that sold...

Keith Cooper mentioned today the AllnicAudio’s 1500 phonostage in the Cessaro thread…

I know the AllnicAudio, I use their tube sockets, and they are very good. The AllnicAudio use...
