The Wondercaps I'd used with caps that my brother had "thrown out" when he modified his Music Reference RM9 push-pull power amps with REL ones. Hence, they cost me nothing :). It would be nice if thos .......

Yes, the sound as described is AFTER the mod, and reflects the relative difference between it (Bez) and the Audio Electronic Supply (AES) AE-3 preamp. Too many resistors...all left unchanged. The scre .......

Hi Tom, A "straight out of the box" (unmodified) used Audion Silver Sterling single-ended ("ETSE" - extended triode single ended) produces excellent midrange detail and "fludity" for around US$400-800 .......

Hi, I would strongly recommend the TJ/Full Music Meshplate 300b with gold pins. May be "overpriced" at around $300 a pair, they will squeeze out the last ounce of mid/upper mid resolution, and give mo .......

Its the ballon shaped TJ 300B. The stock Chinese 300Bs are not bad. I've heard them (well-worn Shuguang 300B-98) in a friend's (who is a techie) amp that uses Japanese made Tamuara transformers and hi .......

Hi, I believe you were sent the 220V version given that the fuse is not blown. Due to the way its packed and the point-to-point wiring, it is highly unlikely that there is "no sound"/"no power". The a .......

Posted by Michael Lee on 2003-12-22, 23:18:28 (203.22.202.104)
An option would be to use an electronic (active) crossover, and use the 300B amp for the tweeter in conjuction with a push-pull power amp or a good solid state amp for the bass. Since this is a "brand .......

Looks like I have to try out the RCA 6j7g's in the 300B, or even listen to it (now that it has the TJ meshplates) without the preamp. Swapping NOS in place of stock tubes do not alway deliver what the .......

No, they are not "new" - simply reworked from 50 year old carcasses :). It is not difficult to take the top plate off and have it refinished - sanding, painting followed by engraving. "As new", "Shutt .......
