Pack Rat,

Don't sit on it to long, at that price, it will be snagged! That's why Dean posted it, it's a steal.

If I didn't just fund the La Scala's, and now networks for them,

because the AL's suck the big one, I'd snag it.

How would that preamp mate with a Mac MC-240? Should I be looking for another Mac to complement the 240 as I've been advised or are there other alternatives such as this? I've never owned seperates so please excuse my newbieness.12.gif

Tom, You found ALK's for your Scala's? Already?

Cary does build some fine looking stuff. Rocks, too. I bet!

The feature that really interests me on the ALK, is the ability to attenuate the squacker through the series of settings. On the other hand simpler may be better.

Did you build your Alk's,if so did you use recommended parts?

No,

I've bought them directly from ALK.

When reviewing the type A, I've named the thread "simpler is better"1.gif .

Build them and you won't regret it. If you don't like'em, use the inductors and capacitors for the ALK's.

The type A networks were prefered by PWK too.

Guy,

sorry to chime in here as I am no tech (!!!) but a well-meaning friend was concerned about tweeter protection. He believes that PWK eventually dropped the A-type as it blew too many tweeters. Any comments? (Otherwise I might be interested2.gif )

You are using good SET, why worry?

Mine is Jadis 300B 10W, very good result, I actually use the 3619 transformer and experiment 4-0 and 4-x taps with success, no problem, just a taste preference for listening to different music, just attach the extra wire soldering at the tap x and connect it to ground when 4-x is preferred, done in a minute.

I am experimenting the single driver full range open baffle design now and have fun but busy to mod. the Belle further. But can recommend type A without reservation.

Wolfram,

He dropped the type A when high power solid state amps becamee fashionable.

With tubes you don't need to worry about it.
