2A3 TUBE FUN

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.

Here is the CARY CAD-2A3i push/pull amplifier and slow start setup.

Mike what 2A3 tube amp did you have runnin the top end of your jubilees over 15 years ago in the Hope lab?  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.
