Really?  Got any pics?

 

What else might you have for sale?  Anything as ridiculously boring as a 12AX7?

Hmm I have a good stash of the smaller Eimac tubes. I even have a filament transformer juicy enough to light up 3 35T's per channel. Not push pull but parallell.

Very exciting indeed!  However, the real takeaway here is that you and Dennis share listening taste in terms of the amp’s harmonic characteristics and its relationship to the speakers with which it is tested.  One cannot assume that those characteristics will be universally appreciated just as some audiophiles find all tube amps to be unacceptable, and as we find SS amps to be unacceptable.  One other question is whether it is necessary to build an amp as complex as yours to achieve a result which is equally pleasing.  That, of course, is a question without an answer.  A certainty is that there is no amp in existence (mine included) which will interface with all speakers and listener preferences.

Hi guys.
Since 2012, I have a self-made lamp amplifier with 833 lamps (Gu - 48 analogue from the USSR). I'll tell you right away, I didn't do it, but I'm not an electronics specialist. I just love listening to music.
Amplifier - single-stroke in class A, 55 W when using 750 W.
For 6 years I brought his sound to my preferences: openness, speed, timbre. In my opinion, and the view of many who listened, it worked. the room I rented, it's not my design.IMG_7046.JPG

I had a Diy Jamboree based on original drawings from Dana Moore. The bass was powerful and large, but had a large peak of 12 dB at about 125 Hz. After which there was the same pit at about 250-300 Hz. Rock did not play in the absence of this range, there was no energy, the lack of which was not so noticeable in other genres. Unfortunately, the measurement screens were not preserved.
So, after consulting with Dana, I reworked Jamboree for direct 15 "speakers. The 200-300 Hz range got better, but the peak around 100 Hz remained big. I attribute this to Jamboree's own resonances. The bass seemed to play on the same note. , close to 100 Hz.
I was not able to reconfigure the crossover because I am not such an expert.
So I decided to make a box with a phase inverter for two 15 ".
The crossover was based on the ALK II, slightly modified its woofer link, replacing the coil with a different denomination.
All my dances around this wonderful Acoustics ended with an incredible sound. I am very pleased.
This is probably offtopic, the same theme for the 833 lamp.

Іn six years of living with an amplifier on 833 lamps, I was able to compare it with many other tube, transistor and PWM amplifiers. These were Quody, Diinako, Scott, Audio Sculpture and others. None of them could match the 833 lamp. She paints great musical images, for example, the singer was standing at full height. The piano was as wide as natural.
Yes, high power consumption, in the anode of 1650 volts it causes respect and caution. It is hot near the amplifier in summer. But for such a sound you can tolerate everything.
One-stroke amplifier 55 watts in class A. At first, my amplifier worked with Jamo 909 R. It revealed their full potential.
Modern PWM amplifiers are better in bass, but they have not yet reached such midrange frequencies as the 833.
I liked that my one-beat play rock easily.

Apparently plans of the Dana Moore copies of Jubilee.

 

 

Funny how everyone wants to thank Dana Moore, but not PWK/Chief Bonehead. Probably because they PWK didn't publish plans for everyone to make. He is from the Ukraine so I'm sure he can't get Jubilee bins.

 

The state of the art has grown significantly from that clone/copy bin in what Roy is doing.

Hi Jimjimbo,

i would be interested in buying a couple of your 833s.

I have a high feedback design underway based on Frank Blohbaum's Multiplied Transconductance Amplifier (MTA) philosophy.

1500V @ 180mA into 5K:6R OPT

Contact me off list if interested

stay safe
