    — much like Bonehead designed speakers forum jail ain’t that bad - it’s “okay”.
  2. I also owned a Torii IV and while it wasn’t the quietest tuber I’ve owned there was more “noise” going on than say my ST35 or QS Horn Monos both of which are dead silent through LS and Jubilees. But there was no overt hum as you are describing. The absolute forest of tubes on the Torii and enough background noise to annoy me led to selling it. Idontknow is right about the Kenny Russell ST35 though, it is an exceptionally nice piece.
  3. — or Captain Beefheart? Tube amp builder extraordinaire.
  4. - What an opportunity to begin a sub stack thread on motor oil. But to answer the 3M to 8M question - don’t do it. More than likely those pesky electrons will run out of steam around the 6M mark leaving you with no signal to the speakers.
  5. - back and better than ever.
  6. If you’re certified in a Gulfstream G700 I’ve got your plane. My pilot is currently unavailable. Sorry, leaving from MCI (KC) only. Takeoff is 0800 Saturday. Sharp.
  7. This is the age of catering to and protecting those whose lives center around stirring the pot, spewing useless misinformation all while using the interweb as their indisputable source. No different here.
  8. — “give me a minute. Checking Google”.
  9. That’s there’s funny. Ain’t a speaker he’s not an expert on. I heard rumor that prior to the passing of James B Lansing he had the foresight to name his famous tweeter “001”. Coincidence, I think not -
  10. Hehehe - he said “members”. The perfect description -

    We pay enough, too much for Dish. Paying extra whether watching my home team or not I will Never pay the networks and NFL ransom money to watch football.
  13. “You haven’t found the right tube amp”. Make your next purchase a quality shovel as you are about to begin digging a rather large, deep and expensive rabbit hole. You may run into one of us during your dig —

    What I Got Today!

    Yeah? Have you bought new, quality tires lately? It’s not pleasant. I’d much rather buy another amplifier.

    What I Got Today!

    Hot water = good. Cold water = bad. And for the most popular and irritating of forum(s) quote - pics or it didn’t happen -
  16. I’m not sure how the 2a3 will satisfy someone “longing” for a high power SET? A great sounding tube/amp, yes, high power? Not so much -
  17. I also had the J2 but let it go. I’ve owned the F3 longer than any amp I’ve owned. They are very similar although the J was bit more powerful , 25 vs 15 for the F.
  18. Good find Marvel. And yes, it does keep you nice and toasty while listening. A two-fer I suppose -
  19. There’s a reason Nelson Pass uses the name First Watt for his “skunk works” amplifier designs -
  20. The F3 I’m currently listening to is a NP singe stage I believe. And like much of the gear ‘round here it sounds “okay” -
  21. Now I’m wondering about running two triode power tubes per channel is actually a “parallel “ circuit. I’ve looked at the Audio Mirror site where his new 6c33c monos are $19K/pr. and the Lamm Electronics site where their 6c33c amps are many multiples in price compared to AM. My point is never do any of these producers describe their single ended amps as a “parallel circuit”. Class A single ended is as descriptive as it gets. So two power tubes are used in each channel are automatically a “parallel “ circuit? I’m not so sure that’s a given at this point -
  22. I haven’t been to the Audio Mirror site in sometime but you might find much more technical information on this particular design. There’s actually a pair currently available on USAudiomart. Each mono are quite heavy at around 45 lbs.The transformer/power supply are enormous. But yes, 2x 6c33 per mono + (1x 6sn7; 1x 6sl7) make 45 single ended watts. So I’m only assuming this is considered a parallel circuit? And I’m sure much like a 211 or 845 they do run extremely hot. Just to pick up one tells you they are indeed an “industrial” , heavy duty tube. After all they were used to run the avionics in MIG fighters.
