    Fans or not?

    True... I have a 6c33c-b monos on PP mode and an integrated amp with 1 tube per channel on conservative 15 watt SE mode. The integrated amp runs hot even if I use a direct fan. Not like the push-pull dual tubes which I can easily control the temperature. BTW: I was wondering if anyone can help out. I need to buy a 6c33c-b tube tester for personal use only so I would know if my tubes are match within. from time to time. Thanks CCG

    No tubes!

    Hi, May I ask where are you getting your 6c33c-b matched tubes? I also want to get a 6c33c-b tube tester if you know anyone? Thanks. CCG

  7. Congrats with a nice looking speakers. Enjoy!
  8. Sorry for your lost. I know how you feel. I've lost mine 2 years ago and I cant believe it even till now. We fought the cancer for 5 years and 8 months. I would like to believe that I did everything I can. I pray for her every single day. Sorry again.
  9. That's definitely a mouth watering amp.. So as this one.

    One member at Hoffman's just bought 4-WE300B tubes... I think its time for me to start wearing some Diamond Dave outfits so my wife can buy me a quad too for X'mas.
  11. I have a small input for it might help to some enthusiast. There is one member at Hoffman's bought a SE parallel 300B from my builder. Fluxion GX-2300 300B Monoblocks 14 watts. He's been using it since December, 2020. He also has a Decware Zen Triode 6-watts. He's driving an Altec A7-500W. I guess its a highly sensitive input speakers for he said he's only using like 2 watts in his normal listening. I spoke to him last week and he told me he saved up some money to buy 4-WE300B to install it in his 300B. Basically both amps are nice. The Fluxion is his main amp and the Decware as a back up.
  12. Really nice to listen on a 300b. ☺️
  13. I been listening to the Cornwall IV's on different places around here and been going back and forth. Trying to get to know the people at the dealer. As far as the Cornwalls they all sounds nice on strings, vocals, horns and classic organs demos using just a small amount of wattage.. Very Alive! Sometimes they ask me if I have some particular music that I like to listen to, bring them over and they'll play it. I'm slowly bringing 1 or 2 of some of the albums I generally listen to and few of the albums I have in my collection that captures the most of the instruments and frequency ranges that I'm presently familiar... And noticeably makes a big difference depending on the amp being use. There's so many good amps out there especially today that can drive these Mommas easily but due to the limited local places that I've been, So far I enjoyed it with the Mcintosh 275. I felt that the bass was holding up pretty good and its giving that wide array including the mid-bass and highs all at the same time. Its very nice to listen to it as I move a bit to distance delivering a clean holographic sound. So far there's nothing that I can say but good. However I still have the time to listen more and decide for this 6C33C-B amp and the right speakers are going to Asia. I have to be very honest in choosing the right speakers for the type of music that I normally listen to.
  14. Any ideas how many hours do they normally last?
  15. There are very small arsenal and followers of these amp classification. Looking to meet some people so I can get and exchange ideas.
  16. Hard to tell and best to consult someone in your local tech so you can tell him exactly the sound youre looking for. Those high-end SE has a golden holographic sound that cannot just be touched by other amps just like what you'll hear in this video. Going back to your amp, there are other options too. There are lots of super nice amps in Europe. Infact we Americans sometimes wish we had more selections here rather than getting not the best of Europe and Japanese. Were born to innovate almost anything here but its not happening right now and hopefully in the future. I'd just simply keep on listening to the amp till one day you'll decide wether you keep it or trade it with another amp. Sounds like youll get your money back in what you paid for. In this video, both amp sounds great. Too perfect for my listening. But the real question is, how will it sound when I listen to the type of music that I prefer. It will definitely change the chemistry and the whole outcome of this demo.
  17. In 2020, I messed around with a reisong a50 mk III 300b chinese amp. I see no one was buying. At that time the dealer said, its gonna take a few weeks to be delivered for there was a delay in the port unless if I wanna take a new amp that was been reviewed by guttenberg. Of course I'll wait for a new one and got in a few weeks. Anyways I think right after the review, it made a worldwide sale, and excellent reviews with current owners open a threading forum. Going back a bit, when I first got the 300b amp, my impression was totally different and I notice besides its bottle-necked, it felt so under powered and sounded thin. I'm not expecting anything from a $630 purchase. So I had my friend worked on it and he practically re-designed the entire input section,the rectifier, switching the power supply from 110 to 120v and I wanted to change the output transformer end up with a Hashimoto. I think I spent and extra well over $1,000 for parts and labor. It was followed up with a change of 2- NOS 6sn7 which I have lots for spare and added a Vishay mkp coupling cap. After these surgery, it made a huge difference in the overall performance. The tonal character drastically changed with 7.8 watts of output power and it sounded like a real juicy set amp. Very holographic sound with a stunning mid-range and mid-bass in the lower part of the volume. In a few months I end up mentioning a few of the modifications to the thread, what I did. And they said I wasted alot of money and all they did is just changing the tubes and coupling caps to PIO. Long after 2-years and so many on-line excellent reviews made, They found out that the amp wasn't even putting out 3 watts. Some of them spent over thousands just in tube rolling. Since then, I haven't heard anything from them. Still have the amp today and just listening to it once in a while. Nothing better or best, I found myself listening more to a 14 watt 300b push-pull amp. Its just the type of music I listen to. These PP 300b amps are dynamite below 100hz. For me its good to have both.
  18. Not quite KT amps but you might find this interesting.😺
  19. Congrats to the new amp. If your amp is sounding good to you after a good months of listening. Then you can plan on buying a WE300B. I really want to buy a set too but I need 4 to run my amp. I have a WE300B copy and a 300B ACME mesh tubes. They sound totally different from each other. The WE is "midrangey" with an excellent midbass and and highs while the ACME sounds very warm with long extended bass. If I change the 12AT7 preamp tubes with lets say a raytheon blackplate, they compliment each other for the raytheon sounds bright with an excellent midrange.
  20. Wooohw I almost pass this. That's a nice setup. Can you give us a feedback on your preamp? How long do you have it now? I been looking and looking at that preamp in their site. what really got me is the parameter of the tone control which is really a must for my recording amp setup. CCG
