[quote user="cv"]...yes, I remember. I wonder if it's due to the large (and varying with signal) capacitance of the 6C33 input interacting with the small coupling cap. Hopefully this will be less of an issue with the 6e5p/6p.[/quote]Chris,

Hello,Here's an idea - uses a resistor in series with a current source on the negative supply to drop the voltage to the 6c33. Not sure how happy (sonically) the 6C33 will be with a 50k resistor on its grid. It would be huge problem at HF a...

Romy - Not sure if you mean increase the load above 550ohms, which would give you less power, better damping and possibly less distortion (trade off between how much you need to push the tube and the flatter loadline, also I suspect there is dis...

Alas, no time for anything at the moment, the listening valuation must await construction of the amps (and speakers...)Also, it is a very custom application - it is designed to drive an array of ribbon tweeters. Normally these have matching transform...

[quote user="floobydust"] Some very good points here... if I downloaded the correct schematic from your site for the 6-channel Melq amp (also has the term DSET in the title) then you have created a 6-channel SET amp with built-in crossover points. Yo...

It turned out that I made my Melquiadenisation with 6C33C. Not practically because it is good or bad tube. The choose of 6C33C was partially accidental: in the beginning I was trying to make an amp that would be able to work in multi-app configuratio...

Hi RomyDo you know the part number of the Johnson tube sockets for the 6C33. There are two sockets available numbered 247 for $35 or 248 for $30, is there a difference. Do you know.Paul...

[quote user="cv"]…. I'm not sure I believe the overall hypothesis, I think it is more a function of the particular high/low impedance tubes he was writing about (300B, 10, 45 etc). But how this translates to neutrality above "levels 1 or 2" is anothe...

On a secondary point Romy, since when did something have to be designed for serious audio use for it to find an application in a serious audio system? Did teams of Russians sit around listening to and fine tuning the 6C33 before they started ma...

Started building a test board for the "composite" 6c33. Then I realize I could not hook up the grids separately. They be connected internally. So no way to do this test. Not with this tube anyway.jh...

Yeah, I'm a little slow here. Had very busy week pumping out machines. I do have two custom tube adapter cards built. One traces two separate 6e5p at same time (great for comparing). The other is for 6c33. So it's just a...

Allo Romy,Big topic this! I will write something suitably detailed when I get a chance this weekend, but you're right - the transformer is key and one that is optimised for the task in hand is absolutely the way to go and something that not many peop...

Some facts:The Japanese horn scene uses colored amps like 300B and prefers to buy Japanese amps.American horns are mostly slightly modified pro gear, quite a bit away from the price range Lamm has in mind, so the market there is not larger than that ...

Carlosb, I do not remember. It should be written in my
tester but… I need to find the tester. I do remember that I after I spend a
hell of time to figure out how to test the tube with TV2 it I never actually
used my finding and never tested 6C33 w...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Celsius, I do not know what CCS you impended, did you drive 6e5p’s plate with constant current source?*1 I also do not know/like 6e5p with battery bias. The only application that I find 6e5p suitable was the Milq-style bi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][quote user="drdna"] You are correct, though I believe the subwoofer covers only below 35 hz. [/quote] So???[/quote]So, my thought was that below 35 hz, there are many ways of thinking about amplification. Some might say S...

AlloWell this could be very interesting.... the Melq driver (at lower voltage) direct coupled to a 6C33 cathode follower run at low voltage, high current. Vincent looks like he's running about 80V 500mA, though in this case you'd need to use a r...

Hi Paul,My understanding is that the placette has a unity gain buffer. At full CD ouput levels of 2Vrms into an S2 - it wouldn't quite get that into the S2s 16 ohms - but say it did, you'd be looking at about 109db from a pair...I'm not saying it wou...

Dear Romy,
Obviously it is impossible to convince you upon the frequency response of our transformers and in any case that is fine with me since everybody is entitled to its own assumptions and opinions and this is not bad at all, on the cont...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I liked the most when I drove the 6C33 plate with 230V. I run all possible currents and… surprise, surprise I ended up at 150mA.[/quote]I find the same true with other power triodes. When comparing operating conditions ...

I'm sure there are many bad implementations of the 845 and 211. Almost all of the commercially available ones are pretty mediocre. However I have heard good examples of both so I know it can be done. I've yet to hear an impressive 6C33 amp so it...

Hi Bud,Thanks for the pointers; I already have a pair of vertically sectioned cores wound from a while back, on white nylon (ugh?!) . Not remotely optimal, but if the concept works I will definitely have to try something along your lines. The tip reg...

Allo I tell you what it is that's putting everybody off, it's that bloody input stage biasing arrangement... The other thing is that people who know enough to build it have probably read a bunch of stuff here and there, and therefore been anointed in...
