I just use a Toshiba 3950 DVD player connected to a 1K stereo stepped attenuator hooked up to a tube amp into '83 Cornwalls.(2 channel music app.) The signal is also split at the rear of the DVD player and feeds a active crossover into a sub amp and a pair of subwoofers parked next to each Cornwall. The DVD is S-linked to a cheap TV for watching DVD's once in awhile. It's just two channel, but DVD's are kinda cool through a SET amp. But it's just pretty much a two channel music set-up.

I think they are little integrated mono push-pulls, like a Eico HF-12. 200 would be about right, if they work well, good and clean with no wanked tubes.

Check out this box full of iron. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5718691958&fromMakeTrack

Get a tube amp and go 2 channel with the Cornwalls for awhile.

Maybe it's your browser.

Just make sure they aren't turning blue.

Howdy. QRK Model 12-C 3-speed radio station broadcast turntable. Re-conditioned w/Radix stereo pre-amp. Grado mag cartridge and Sparta arm,(nos). Has anyone around here had any sort of experience with this particular brand of broadcast TT? All I know is the thing is a industrial grade unit, built to last a long time.........

"Paul, you simply aren't a serious person, not one to respect." heh

They look like mine, except for the plastic cap for the tweeter. Mine are B2, in '83 Cornwalls.

Hell, I had to pay 25, 30 bucks for the 330B I picked up for my friend. Very smooth and non-harsh sound for squalid state receiver.(Vintage sound?) I wish I had kept it, but he was hurtin'. I listened to a Hafler SS amp of some sort compared to a old solid state console. (Motorola or Magnavox or something...) We prefered the old console amp with Germanium output transistors. It's 20 watts or so, transformer input, everything is pretty much direct coupled, real simple. It had a vintage tube sound with a better bass drive.

Why not build a amp? SV 811-10, you could do almost 14 watts with this triode. PP 2A3? Scrounge up some nice 6,600 ohm or so PP OPT's for a 6BQ5 amp.

"No, it has to do with turn on transients from the power tubes. I believe it is the indirectly heated ones that have a slower voltage build up." Rick ---------------- Right. It takes more time for the filaments to heat up the actual cathode tube, sumthin' like that. You can watch the difference, 5U4 filaments come up within a few seconds. A EZ-81/6CA4 takes about ten. I would guess that a directly heated rectifier tube would be more noisy, it's probably why you see chokes in the PS after the said tube. (Well, most of the time.) However, I did swap a 5Y3 for a 5V4 in a SE 6BQ5 amp. It made it worse, dunno about that other than it's a lame circuit from get go..... I know folks collect tubes because they are rare, but that kind of money for rectifier tubes? Must be nice to have money to burn like that. I'll stick with television half-wave dampers, they do a pretty good job when you think about it. And nobody wants to collect the damn things......

A little less noise?

Yup. I deleted the cookie files in my browser, and now I can't log in with my old user. It keeps telling me to enable cookies, which I'm too brain dead to figure out. I figured somebody would catch the avatar.
