    Hi and thank you for the follow-up. Did I understand the explanation saying instead of measuring it on full and powering it on 12.6 V / 3.2A, external powering, they use 6.3 volts instead and measuring it half of the current. So instead of the result being 230ma (new), youre just targeting  115-120... Is that correct?

    Thank you for the follow-up.

    Sorry I'm not technician - you'd better ask someone who is competent in it

    As far as I understood he measure each half of the tube separately

    Okay sounds great. And thank you o much for trying. So does the tester requires a large amount of power (bigger transformer to light these tubes up?

    Thank you again,

    CCG 

     

    The tester (Л3-3)  does not have a socket for 6C33C also no current/power enough to work with this tube although some people in web say enough to test it "half by half" - You can find it in the middle of the page (pictures) https://forum.cxem.net/index.php?/topic/112494-карты-для-измерителя-параметров-ламп-л3-3-л1-3/page/6/-

    Can help if Googletranslate is not good enough

    sounds good!

     

     Sorry, no good news...  Both most common ussr testers Л3-1 and Л3-3 do not have ability to work with 6С33С.

    Have asked 2 friends (both make amps based on this tube) - both of them match 6С33С-s when they are already on their place in the working amplifier

    Yes, it is... Ok, I can investigate the name of the brand and the model but you should keep in mind as usual they are big and heavy i.e. delivery Ukraine -> States gonna be not very cheap I'm afraid... still interesred?

    If these sound as good as they look, I imagine it would be a fantastic experience. I can't seem to find any info about these or Audio Lot. Can you share more? The balanced input is intriguing. 

     

    These two sound great! Unfortunately the balanced input is not true - just switching  between two connection options.

    Here you are http://www.audiolot.com.ua/

    Unfortunately I cannot find English version... After having pushed as shown at the pictures you'll get to the old amps they produced

    Forte III test

    I have borrowed a Forte III and it is the first time I listened at Klipsch. It sounds good right out of box but maybe it’s a little bit thin at lower volumes. Do the sound be any different after some burn in? 

     

     

    Hi. Recently began to use Forte II (not III) in my system. My experience concerns Forte II.

    The pair appeared  to be a very low hours i.e. almost non-played. I'd be very disappointed with the sound if hadn't had Forte II  before and knew what they are worth for. Among other issues there  was almost no bass. If the III's behaviour and II's is alike, the changes in bass  after Break-In gonna be dramatic. It took me about a month of everyday use (5-6 hours a day) to make them sound as they should. 

     Don't let their  sensitivity mislead you - they require rather powerful amplifier with good controll. You should avoid amplifiers that overcontroll.

     

    Advices are worth when they are asked for... Sorry if I were you I would think about purchasing Forte II (or Chorus II if you are experienced user) for $1500 in good condition instead. Good luck

    WTB Klipsch Chorus (II), Forte (II) or Quartets

    John, Chorus II and Forte II are at the top of my wish list. I've already own Chorus I and both Forte I & II. Wouldn't call Forte II more balanced over Chorus I - I'd better say it is much more easier to make them sound over Chorus. My experience says Chorus (at least first generation and suppose the II too) are very hard to make them "play as they can" because of their extremely high resolution. But when at least you do.... they become very, very balanced....

     

     Thank you for the notes guys but as usual I do check the garage sale section at least once a day, Got some offers already and hope some become deals soon.

     

    Thanks again,

    Alex
