Listening on this through 6c33c-b SE amp. Sounds amazing!There are lots of music on Spotify that I hear is not hi-rez'd..I prefer listening more to the non re-master as long as the needle drop is clean or should I say recorded right even there's clicks and pops.😺

I'm sure this needs new belts by now and probably all the electrolytics replaced. I put it away years ago when I got a CD player in my car. I figured what the heck do I need cassettes for. Anyone know sources for new belts? Or a service manual? Someday I may get a round tuit...it is really LOW on the to-do list.
That's very nice deck too. Its a bit tricky to work on the transport and change belts. But can be done the right way.

Oh I had some quiet nice tapedecks in my life.. My still exsisiting all time favor is the Teac V 6030 S
Nice looking deck. What is the feature you like about Teac V 6030 S?
Is there anyway you can post a close-up on the panel? I never had one before..
Basically all the decks posted are superb! I also have a denon drm-800a. It sounds excellent too. I just havent had the chance to get around it much.
Thanks CCG..

Going to Tokyo in November. Visit all the classic hi-fi of the 80's-90's and new ones. Then on our way to the Food Mecca.

I don't believe so. I had a 200 and a 400. Same "machine" with the difference being the 400 had a plug.....why did it have a plug? So you could see the lights that were on the front. Both units were passive in what they did but they added some illumination to the 400.
Dukester.... I think it depends on do you have the original or newer one?
The 120 (I have a 120 X-DS that's not being used) is the newer version. It is a wide, skinny box. The (what I think is) "original" version didn't have a number on it unless they had it on the back. It was a 'dbx Boom Box" and was a bit of an odd size however, I found space for it. It either was or became the dbx 100.
It is to the right of the Cassette deck.
This was back in...... somewhere between 1980-1982 if I recall....had all this in my dorm room. You can see the LaScalas which I still have in the corner.
Excellent looking setup!. That's basically what I'm doing too. This is to my dedicated recording setup. I have an 80's sony integrated amp with 2 phonos and 3 decks selector. That amp is dying soon. Not the best sounding amp but one heck of a recording amp. I'm definitely gonna miss it.
I also have a dynamic expander that I will add in the setup. I like the dbx 200 more because its closer to the silverface. I also have the 400 but It was throwing me off a bit when I tested it due to the light indicators. the RCA integration wont work if it wasn't powered on. Maybe I was doing something not right...?
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 I go it. I'll see if I can find others to build me a test unit instead. I work 2 jobs and not sure if I have time to do this myself. Thank you for the generous information. I appreciate it.

A lot of strong points between high dollar equipment to medium. I cant simply compare the two. If some people paid that kind of money for an Ongaku amp, I cannot question him. Obviously most people knows what he's doing to earn that kind of money. If the amp will please him and give him a peace of mind, I can almost imagine the kind of money he will be making in the future.
Same thing with mids and DiY. If youre happy and works for you, that's all that matters. At the end of the day you'll still have the pleasure of moving forward. Enjoy life, Not end your life. 😊

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
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.

The Pioneer EX-9000's sound quality is on par with the DBX 3BX I still have one that I use in conjunction with a BBE 1002 Sonic Maximizer. You can always get the DBX 2015G which is a 2/3 octave equalizer lots of adjusability with no fancy display. DBX also made the 10/5, 10/20, and 20/20, and lastly the pro version 510 computer equalizers. I remember the 8055 I had a silver one, then later on the 8066 that had a sensor grid to adjust the settings that took some getting used to.
The DBX DX5 CD player has a 1BX-DS built into it and provides lots of adjustment depending on how well or not so well the recording was done.
My 14/10 and 5BX-DS below lots of adjusability between the two units.
On your 400 passive router, go you have to run a jumper in the noise reduction in/out to bypass if not using? Thanks CCG

This new amp just came in yesterday and currently on a road test.. 15 watt 6C33C-B integrated amp in SE mode. Boy this thing runs hot and I have to leave the fan on all the time.

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
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,

Well done Schu!!! That is a beautiful watch! And that Grand Seiko is also a stunner! Great collection. I have a modest watch collection. I added a shot of my vintage Seiko's. The Seiko "Pogue" 6139 -6002, Seiko "Willard" 6105-8110, Seiko Turtle 6309-7049. I was a Navy Diver. Both the Willard and Turtle were tool watches in the truest sense. I typically didn't wear them when I dove surface supplied. Topside kept track of my time. They both keep surprisingly good time but when placed on the timeographer, show that they are long overdue for service.
I got the Pouge in mid 70's because I thought it just looked cool and wore it more as a dress watch so it has survived the years unscathed. Oh, well those are my Seiko's.
I sure do like yours. Thanks for starting this thread!
Cheers
Love the 70's speed timers, pogues and bullheads. Impossible for me to find a genuine.

I assume you want to match tubes for push-pull operation. If that is the case they need to be matched using a curve tracer to ensure proper balance under signal conditions. In my opinion and experience that is the only way to go if that is important to you. Whether you will be able to hear much difference is for you to judge. You can get some insight about this here:http://aeaaudio.com/matching-tubes-with-a-curve-tracer/

Yes and thank you for the info.
Yes it is a push pull. "Initially" It is very important for me to have the tube balanced well first. if not, it will eat the tube by itself.
I was able to prolong the tube life of my other amps with just this simple method. In this particular 6c33c-b, even the ones that came in the same batch, they are measuring all over the place. lets say in a 20 piece you can probably fetch a good match within 3 to 4 tubes (6 to 8 total). The way how these tubes are constructed.. think of the early 2000 sovteks. Its like that kind of quality. But if you can get a good match. its the "Queen Bee." Bottom line I need a tester. It doesnt have to be fancy as long as I can check atleast the ma, shorts, etc...
Thanks CCG

there are testers on Ebay from HK , most likely recycled gear , https://www.ebay.com/itm/284931611899
to avoid testing or buying quantities of this tube , seek a seller who matches tubes
I had a talk with him a while back. He's from canada and getting supplies from china per order. To make it short, the deal is, its a brand new or newly assembled, 48 business days to get here, no return even if DOA. Yes that's very clear and exactly what I was told. Its like I gave him the money for a new product, he pockets it and whatever I get, that's what I get. Bottom line is, I still need a tester. I cannot rely on matched tubes. I have so much experience encountering surprises even from some suppose to be reputable US dealers.

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?
Yes I'm interested and thank you. Just keep in mind my purpose is for personal use only (not a professional). I just need to know if the tubes has the same reading as the other one like within 10% match so I can plug both tubes balanced in per channel. Please let me know and thanks,
