Default The main reason valves & vinyl is better...

Final plans involve interstage, I am planning on trying the interstage
that Ae produce, 50H, with a design current of 60ma. And its 98euro for
a pair (double C-Core as well).

Have you got a reference for this, web site etc? You are using Gary K's DC
circuit?

Currently uising 40khz heating from modified lighting transformers..


So you actually managed to get these fabled beasts going!!!

I am currently very fond of the 6em7 as a gain and driver stage, very similar
to a 6sn7 - 2a3 combination.

I started on the dissimilar triodes but only got as far as the 6EW7. I have
some 6DR7 but that's it - may have to re-stock. I was reading about the 6EM7
today on the asylum, curiously. Andy

The TX site is http://www.ae-europe.nl/uitgangstrafo_engels.htm

The circuit is similar to Gary K, though if you quitely ask Paul B, he
would provide alternate origins to that circuit :-). Anyway, this shows
the input stage I am using at the moment.

Yes, they work well, two powered a pair of gm70's and one is doing fine
for a pair off 211's. I have discoivered to get the least "hum" on the
output, you still need to employ humpots, its just the hum is inaudible.

Its not perfect though. ok for Cd as it happens, but if you have a
source with higher freq output you can get some IM from the 40khz. The
humpot reduces this problem though.

When I get further on with the amp, I will try conventional AC and DC
heating and see what if any are the comparisons.

Yes, as I posted there I was turned onto the 6em7 after hearing Darren
D's amp.

The little 6em7 set I had in a pile of bits on the floor sounded nice,
Fleety on this NG heard it and seemed to like it.

It would make a rather nice headphone amp for very little money.

Well, maybe I'll oblige you fairly soon but (believe it or not) one or
two
*far* more interesting people than you (offlist) have urged me not to.


Wahey! The lurkers support me in email! It's a classic, practically
ancient vinyl.


???

Lurkers? Support?

WTF are you on about? - The people I referred to are posting here (a damn
sight more than you do)......

(Not binned.)

Fine. Unfortunately I don't know your posts well enough to distinguish
them from those who would say exactly the same and mean it.

It works like this. There are three groups of people A) People of
normal hearing who like vinyl and valves. B) People with defective
hearing who prefer SS. C) People with defective hearing and tourettes
syndrome who are unable to prevent themselves from making
inapprorpriate comments to the people in Group A.



So where do I fit in? I can listen to either vinyl/valves OR CD/SS and enjoy
either (depending what's on the recording of course. But I certainly prefer
CD/SS because it's more accurate and that's how I like it. I don't really
care what other people prefer.

I guess that rules me out from this group as well, then, since none of the
choices originally listed described my views, etc. I was tempted to add:

D) Everyone else.

Slainte,
