yep , sa casing pa lang, kinahoy lang na BOOSTER :D

thanks, o ano pa hinihintay mo? sakay na! ;D ;D ;D

ayan, mas simple pa ang ccs ng tubo, old school pa rin ;D pero lagyan mo ng gate stopper ang mosfet, yun dating value na 220 Ohms.
how is your listening impression, pero maganda sana dalawa gumagana... :)

^hihi tatapusin/gagawin ko muna yung leach bago ako mag move-on sa tubes ;D

Um pede ba magrequest ng paggawa mo sis ng masundan namin.


Mahina comprehension ko eh.   :D

will do that tomorrow, eto pati parents ko nakikinig na rin ;D ;D ;D

vid? ;D matagal pa..

bukas post pics ako sa "beta build ko" :D

I find this tube to be natural on bass area. sa high, may hahanapin pa ba ako? :D pure na pure eh ;D ;D ;D

about sa filament/heater issues, ung LM317 tpos mga 2 ohms na resistor ung ginamit ko, malaki pala role ng heater na yan ;D ;D ;D

here's my suggestion to improve performance further:

1. since it is class A(from tube to mosfet) use cap multiplier in your PSU

2. i noticed there is no coupling cap in the schematic, use one, a 1000uF/25v will do, parallel a 0.1mylar or      ceramic

3. use high quality caps for C1/C3

NOTE: the tube used in the given schematic has a 12V heater, you are using 6V heater, use at least 8 Ohms 5W to avoid busting out your heater. :)

ung c1 pde na ba dyan ung JAKEC? ung minsang ginagamit sa tweeters?
ung c3 naman rubycon ginamit ko.
battery po ng jeepneys ung gamit ko pansamantala (marami kami dito jeepneys ;D ;D ;D )
coupling cap? ung cap na nasa rail?

yang heater na yan ang nagbibigay buhay sa tubo, hence the tube operates by means of thermionic emmision. yan ang tinatawag ng iba na "captivating glow", magical glow, etc, etc ;D

yup

pwede din yan as pre-amp, gamitin mo sa mga hi-power amp mo, mag-series ka lang 2.2k sa output. pero da best yan sa class A amps...

nag go-glow din yan sa mga power tubes pag di tama biasing mo, kasunod na nyan flash-over na sisira sa grid or tube melt-down ;D

umpisa palang yan, pag tumalab na ng husto ang rabis ng tubo sayo, d mo na yan mapipigilan ;D ;D

yup ginamit ko as preamp lang muna sa sakura/konzert clone ko.

sa akin floating, so sometimes kung gusto ko mono, bini-bridge ko sya...

Thanks for the tips!

kung i increase ko B+ neto, this will lessen the distortion and more power din ba?

kaya pala di ko mapatino nang husto, kailangan pala ng R1, kung wala yan , mangangamote ;D ;D ;D

di mo nilagay? yan ang mag set ng grid bias.

will make the tube operate more linear, hence lower distortion & larger voltage swing, let the output device takes care of power.

hindi pa kasi masisisra yung tubes pag ganyan, walang bias yung tube mo, so walang current draw...yan ang kagandahan ng tubes, forgiving sya sa mistakes....

tube lessons for Ryu,

1. kailangan nakailaw ang filament.
2. Kailangan respetuhin ang filament voltage and current ratings
3. kailangan ng cathode resistor para magset ng negative grid voltage.
