Thanks TL for the message. I like the human snippets. Regarding PP 45, I have heard the Joplin once but it was not optimal, maybe circumstances. But I have...
Hi DJ, It's even easier to change Heath W5M to 6B4G PP keeping same transformer. The 6.3V heater for KT66 can be used by 6B4G directly and the tube itself is a...
Hi, ... The Joplin in stock form (or near stock) is interesting, but flawed. I implemented a totally different Driver Stage and a completely Film Capacitor...
I am wondering if a preamp circuit using 12ax7's in the linestage, can you drop in 12au7's. I know you can drop in 7247's Help, I am trying to mod a heathkit...

Hello all: I am not sure why I have been so busy, even without a job. Maybe since my "retirement" I have less use of the computer. Don't we all surf the net at...
The first of "journals", though this one deserves to be longer. On an absolutely dreary Sunday afternoon, a few of us went to hear a system in Shum Shui Po. As...
Happy year of the monkey! Sometime before the new year we did some playing with a some new transformer prototypes, and several systems. The newest transformers...
... Sometime before the new year we tried out some friends' interstage driven 300B and PX-25 amps. Both very simple, 6C45/WE437a with Tango NC20 interstage,...

Doc, It sounds like you have some great DIYers in Hong Kong. I definitely need to make a trip over some time. And I need to work a little bit less and make...
I have ordered a pair of daburu as well for my mesh globe 50 project. In fact in the hand of diyers, I agree 80% that all their amps will end up with a sound...
hi Doc/Kimo, I read about the W5 being converted to 6B4G PP. Wonder if I can do the same with my 6V6 Ampex or Harman Kardon amp, esp the Ampex with Penthode...
Does anyone know where I could buy a Spendor SP100 speakers? And how much is the reasonable price? And can anyone recommend the best Amplifier to drive it? I...
If the amps you are referring to are the Ampex monoblocs running 6973 output tubes, I have a pair and I can state they are remarkable sounding amps. I would...
hi D, Mine is the 6V6 veriety, not the UL type. I am surprised that the amp is so nice... Hope to get 6973 type in good condition. Best rgds, William Lee ... ...
Hi doctorjohn, I read your recommendations #2 about the Ampex 6973 amp, and my question is: is only this particular model/brand so good, or there are other...

I 'm not sure but I do think there is something special about BOTH the tube and AMPEX. I say Ampex is great because I have heard their 6V6 amp which is good...
