davis419b Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Those didn't last very long ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornman Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 No not long, but certainly not due to lack of quality sound. It boiled down to mostly personel ear taste, & I "just had to hear the famous Moondogs". Thats just the way I learn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis419b Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I understand ! I was the same way with some other popular amps by forum members but they were just not for me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 You are running 300B output tubes and not 2A3s? Should have tried some 2A3 tubes... Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmvette Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I understand ! I was the same way with some other popular amps by forum members but they were just not for me either. Like the pCats? Yeah, you can sell them to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornman Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 You are running 300B output tubes and not 2A3s? Should have tried some 2A3 tubes... Bruce Interesting point You raised Marvel. When I told the previous seller I wasnt interested in another 300B amp. (since I already own one), this is what he said- " The TJ Mesh Plate 300Bn/2.5 V tubes are interchangeable with all other 2A3 tubes. No components need to be changed. It is a bit confusing that the TJ Mesh Plate 300B tubes come in two flavors. One is made to be used in 300B circuits. The other one runs at 2.5 Volts and is made for 2A3 designs. Both are called "300B" (the voltages are different, hence the additional info on the label of the 2A3 version to make it clear as mud? Ha ha.) When I purchased my Moondogs, Ron Welborne was offering the "TJ Mesh Plate 300Bn/2.5 V tubes" as an upgrade over his other option available at the time (i.e. SOVTEK 2A3 tubes made in Russia).The version of TJ Mesh Plates that I have are the 2A3 (equivalent), 2.5 Volt, version. These tubes are clearly labeled/marked: TJ 300Bn/2.5 V" I have a pair of Sovtek 2A3 tubes I will give them a try for comparison with the TJ's. Thanks for the suggestion Marvel.
