sorry no inclination to be a dealer....:D
but i can design for you an honest to goodness "tube amp" and you can have it mass produced in china for low cost....

wrt to the Sakura AV200, one upgrade i would like to see you apply on your product is that you parallel two sections of the peanut tubes 6N2, pin 1 // pin 6; pin 2 // pin7 ; pin 3 // pin 8, reason for this is to avoid cathode poisoning that happens when triode filament is on and no voltages are applied to the elements of the triode...

another plus is that transconductance is doubled, output impedance is lowered, makes for a better sounding amp....

but the biggest plus i would say is that amplifier downtime is halved...

that leaves av200t owners in a conundrum: to immediately apply that corrective measure dahil mali yung implementation ng original, or to wait till the warranty is over.

pag binuksan agad to parallel those 6n2 pins, void na waranty, pero tatagal buhay ng tubes.

pag 'di pinakialaman so as to not void the warranty, baka di na rin tumagal ang tubes kasi na-poison na.



habang di pa naaayos ng supplier yung design flaw, what would you suggest to the buyers master tony?

i wouldn't call it a design flaw...way i look at it, the designer was not aware of that possible issue....
that is why i suggest the vendor to make that mod in-house before they sell their amps...

okay let's call it a design oversight then.  :)

i agree it's a great suggestion for the maker/vendor. i know you're an expert on these stuff.

back to my question, what do you suggest para doon sa nakabili na or planning to buy na? tweak agad or keep it intact for the warranty? nagbabalak din kasi ako and it would of course help me/us make a better decision.

not too many people are aware of cathode poisoning....they would rather change caps and do other mods.. >:D

that is why i post that issue here so that owners can enjoy trouble-free listening on their Sakura's...

for those who like to tube roll, just about any 6.3 volt twin triodes can be used....

very easy, just jumper pin 1 to pin 6, pin2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 8...

from the underside of the board, pin 1 is the one on the left side of the gap, counting clockwise to pin 9...

really easy as counting 1, 2, 3...mas matagal pa yung pagbaklas, daming screws....

make sure na walang sobrang screws pag katapos....:D

Happy Sunday guys !

Nagulat ako may pumunta samin kahapon to buy AV-200T,
Sabi nya meron daw yung kaibigan nya nun pero ibang iba daw yung sa kaibigan nya,

Medyo nakakahiya tuloy kasi yung showroom namin parang bodega kasi mag lilipat na kami sa St. Francis Square, likod ng megamall

and yung ginamit namin na speaker is crown ( hindi pa Hi-Fi)

pero satisfied naman sya :)
