| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Matthias also brings to the table an interesting observation about the current draw of 1.5 amps for the EML 300b XLS. It is 25% higher than a standard 300b which is 1.2amps. This is something I have mentioned in these pages to folks who were consi... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes ...and if the franks are set up to run at 413v @ 87mA. Many would say that's running 300b tubes pretty hard. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I did not expect to hear that the Franks are indeed running 400v on the plate. That puts them towards the upper range and not a conservative operating point. I would think that's the upper range of what the Elrogs can handle. No wonder the EML 300... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes If the power supply is outputting somewhere around 425V that would mean the 300b tube would see a more conservative 325 to 350v acoss the plate depending on the cathode resistor value. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles I agree there is some confusion going on. A call to Israel will solve this. I would guess the Franks Power supply is outputting more or less 425v. And if it is somewhere around 425v no adjustments to the Cathode resistor would be needed. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles you may want to call Israel Blume. I find that this operating point would be hard to believe. It would fry any mesh plate tube and push any standard 300b to its limits:"1kOhms cathode resistor we have 86.8V at the cathode at anode current ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes The franks have a very high operating point!?- 525V operating voltage with some drop (25V) over the OPT- Makes 500V at the Anode- because the 1kOhms cathode resistor we have 86.8V at the cathode - results about 413V across the plate of the Elrog. ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks Justubes for the detailed response. I have printed this and will refer to it often. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Justubes2, Could you fill us in on your bypass cap values?Lets say you have a 22uf cap in your power supply, what values and brand would you choose as your bypass caps? Thanks jet | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Sorry to hear about the failures guys. | |
| DeVore Orangutan 96 an upgrade over DeVore 9? Voxshall, If you are motivated to tap you foot and your body is swaying to the beat then the O/96 have a musical pacing, it not they don't. Sounds like you have been able to dial them in - congratulations and enjoy! Regards Jet | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I should also mention that I have tried only the Wima Polypropylene caps in my power supply. Which leaves many that I have not tried like Clarity caps for instance. I know many many amps use Polypropylene caps so they must sound very good to many ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Justubes2, I have black gates in several places in the audio circuit of my amp and these caps have a very free and open sound like the Audio Note Kaisei.I think the Audio Note team is very familiar with WKZ BlackGate and their goal is make the Kai... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have some limited experience with bypass stacks and it was not favorable. As some of you know I have been trying different types of capacitors in my power supply for the past three months. For the blow by blow you can refer to my system page thr... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I think we are all exploring different ways to get the sound we want. I can see how the Duelund copper cast can leave some listeners wanting. There are so many variations speakers, room, cables, output tube, driver tube, power supply caps...and th... |
