mikebse2a3 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 It’s been a few years since I have played with my CARY CAD-2A3-SE and CARY CAD-2A3i amplifiers so I performed a VARIAC and LIGHT BULB CURRENT LIMITER slow start just for precautions. The La Scala AL5-ME and 2A3 amps are an extremely enjoyable combination IMHO. miketn Here is the CARY CAD-2A3i push/pull amplifier and slow start setup. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And curious what was the low end amp? Cary CAD-2A3i push/pull amp (with choke and bias modifications I addded) for the Jub LF Audio Electronic Supply AES SE-1 with 2A3 tubes (I built from a Kit with slight modifications I implemented) for the K402 HF (This was Cary’s Kit Division back in the early days) These amps setup along with the: Musical Fidelity CD-Pre24 EV DX38 was what you listened to in the Hope Lab in 2007. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 What do you think about the RCA classic dual plates versus modern production mono plates? I've tried the EH, Sovtek, and a few others. I love the history and the quality of RCA 2A3 tubes I have a bunch of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
