atom Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 i have the RB-5, and think of getting a reasonable priced tube for it. where i can get it rebuilded it if i get one HF81 which doesn't work? since i have zero DIY ability on tubes. is the HF81 a good match with RB-5II comparing other tube gear? like DIY billie's 300B monoblock or other 1000$ 300B based tube? since it was said the 300B is the best match with klipsch.

ShapeShifter Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Perhaps if you indicate your general location, some here may be able to offer more assistance. This could be a costly venture too. Rates can be quite high for repair of older ($vintage$) gear. ------------------ KLIPSCH IS MUSICf> My Systems f>s>c> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 atom, I work on Vintage stuff like ShapeShifter asked where are you located. Do you have the HF-81 yet ?? I'm real reasonable on my charges so if interested drop me a line. Its alomst impossible to quote what it will cost without testing the unit out. nos440@comcast.net is my Email addy Craig Oh and a HF-81 would play okay on RB-5s its not going to shake the room down or anything but I bet near 100db could be had in a small room say 12 X 12 ------------------ HH Scott 299 Amp HH Scott LT-110B Tuner HH Scott P-87 Turn Table JVC JL-F50 Turn Table Sony CDP-CA7ES CD Drive 1985 Walnut Heresey I W/Layne Audio Woofers KSW-15 Subs>c> This message has been edited by NOS440 on 08-20-2002 at 11:35 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShapeShifter Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Craig, Glad you responded. He would do well to place that Eico in you capable hands. ------------------ KLIPSCH IS MUSICf> My Systems f>s>c> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom Posted August 20, 2002 Author Share Posted August 20, 2002 thank you guys! i am in NY city. i still have no HF-81 on hand. cos need to figure out how much it will cost to get a workable one. if it cost too high, i prefer to get a new one, maybe 300B intergrated amp. craig, if i really get one, will check with u firstly. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
