efren, meron pang isa na nabentahan ko ng kit.....

[fantom_mayonaise]

Sir Tony : Thanks sa points. points for you for your patience

Sir Efren : I'll be joining you guys soon. I still haven't assembled TonyT's kit. I'm saving it as something to do for Easter. Busy pa and just gathering up the other parts pa, like chassis, tubes, tube socket (something tube-rolling-friendly) and other aesthetics. Gusto ko yung pang-display na ang dating, first tube project eh

[tony]

sounds like a plan....

Sir tony ok na ok yung mga collection mo ng vacuum tube amps at  pre amps mo. classic ang design pero durable naman warm ang sound at clear  lalo na pag bossa nova ang music masarap pakinggan yan . thumbs up for you!

sir is it true n tube amps dont need tone controls? just the audio source, the tube amp andthe spkr only?

this is more of a personal preference, but i observed that almost all tube amp users find tone controls unnecessary, that includes me

Agree. After finishing Tony's kit, I found my setup sounded better with the equalizer disabled. I do have to mention that my integrated amp is "digital" The equalizer, source selector and volume control are all push-button operated, no dials on the amp.

I also found that the sound is affected by the choice of tubes. 6bc8's opened up the highs but less on bass. 6bq7's had good bass and mids. It was fun listening to how the cymbals, high hats and tambourines sounded with the different tubes.

It sounded better because they sounded more natural, w/o passing those digital processes & a handful of op-amps, i avoided them in my signal paths as much as possible, different tubes have they're own "sonic signature" its just a matter of choosing the one that suit your taste... now you're into "tube rolling" congrats & +1 for you

i'm trying to build tube tone control with baxandall filter using submini tube 6N16B to see if it will enhance more my tube amp. i'm happy listening to the amp with out tone concrol but i want to minimize the midrange area. minsan kasi me mga music na puro midrange na nakakarindi sa tainga....lalo a yung mga MP3 na di maganda pagka convert....kaya mostly gamit ko audio cd lang.

Purist!

that's the reason why i am not a fan of MP3 when it comes to hi-fi, but i'm planning to use them in my 20 years old gas guzzler

Purist!

is that so? i never knew that myself rather more of a "naturalist" maybe, hehehe

[Tukkar]

Purist!

Some purist want their sound and music from vinyl records and everything is out to the tubes.....oh BTW,may mga nagpo-produce pa ba ng vinyl records ngayon, sa internet kasi me binibanta pang players at mahal pa?

Meron din kami mga 70's disco  LP's. Isang kanta bawat side. Kakaiba taste ng mother ko heheheh. 5 disk lang yata napakinabangan ko sa collection nya. Nakabili ako sa pdvd ng player, kaso napamahal yata ako, bumili pa ako ng shure cart/stylus, (para 'sure') hehehe.

problema yung player kung me ilan pang meron nito sa pinas....at the same time very rare na mga LP ngayon sa mg second hand o thrift shop ka na lang makakakita...

AFAIK, UK is still producing vinyl and they are the only country that did not embrace CD!

sa pinoydvd.com po sir, abang lang kayo dun. Nakabili ako dun  medyo napamahal ako since nagpalit ako ng cart/stylus. Almost pareho na nung bili ko sa player mismo. Iniisip ko na lang tatagal naman yun kasi di naman masyado magagamit. Bumili lang ako dahil gusto ko mapakinggan ulit yung LP collection ng mother ko. Blast from the past talaga. Gagamitan ko pa ng tubes para todo retro na hehehee

[Tukkar]

okay yan......

[s2kov]

What phonostage you're using?

Nakatodo na ba?
