| sophia 845 markIII and cary 211M AE I find Sophia's statement confusing. Their website claims the Sophia Electric™ 845 MK3 Carbon Plate Tube is a RCA 845 direct replacement but it will not operate in an amp spec'd for 1000v on the plate, which is normal for an RCA 845. | |
| sophia 845 markIII and cary 211M AE The Sophia Electric 845 MK3 Vacuum Tube specification that you posted indicate that they take a maximum plate voltage of 1250V, which is normal for an 845 tube. Is Sophia claiming that the MK3 tubes cannot take that amount of plate voltage? Did th... | |

| Cary cad 211m Although the rated power of the AE (70w) is lower than the 211M v2 at 80w, the AE can play louder as the AE circuit is 70w in Class A and 110w in Class A-2, therefore, giving you a touch more headroom and dynamics. I prefer the 211AE over the 211M... | |

| Cary cad 211m There is hardly a difference between the 80w 211M version 2 and the 70w 211AE from a power perspective. If you want a lot more power, look for a 211M version 1 which is 250w, but not nearly as refined as either the 211M v2 or the 211AE. | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help I agree with Marakanetz, check the cartridge leads are correctly connected to the tonearm. My cartridge leads were once wired incorrectly and it presented the same symptoms as you described. | |

| Is the red glow normal for 845 tubes? Hi Tiofelon, Bel Canto's response has me puzzled. The SET40i is auto biased, therefore, it is either optimized for a 70w dissipation or 100w dissipation, it can't be both. If you are still curious, check with Bel Canto to be sure of the dissipatio... |
