Title: AMX Tube Products
Post by: Vrion on Sep 03, 2003 at 10:05 AM
I have seen these Int tube amps at Park Square 1 selling at 14k for the entry level (a lot of models available, SET Push Pull..). Seems that they were desinged by the shop owner.

Does anybody have seen or tried them?

OK kaya to?

i auditioned their tube amps bringing with me my cds. paired with denon cd player, mission 73i 90db speaker, the kt77 series 8 watts/ch sounded quite good for its price.  it would have sounded even better if matched with a higher sensitivity speaker.

comment:

lacks bass
hissy highs
bit thin sound

i wonder how it compares to the equivalent TS Audio tube amp?

julsp, have you heard the SE 34.1 at Archi Audio?

maganda rin TS 34.1 paired with b2. cant comment much on the ts 34.1 with b2 combo  because i wasnt able to bring with me cds that are familiar with me. the only familiar song i was able to audition was the moonriver by jacintha. usually such song by jacintha would normally sound good when played with a decent player and amp.

Post by: Gino on Sep 03, 2003 at 02:39 PM
I tried to audition twice. Problems I encountered for not having a proper assessment: maingay ang Park square I, the speakers there have low sensitivity, the room and the stuff around it masks the amp's potential.

Perhaps Andrew can lend the amp to us and hold a properly controlled audition. I'd like to hear it with the Fostex FE167E.

yes it was warmed up. i had almost an hour auditioning it. is el34 same as kt77?

yeah, its the same pala. seen it in the internet. kt77 is newer version pala.

listened to both AMX 300b's... very good tube sound... got the chance to talk to the designer... this guy knows his stuff and that's the best thing bec. you can play a lot with these toys with his guidance which am sure he is very willing to give.

these are RC coupled  so these can really be customized to your liking in terms of sound signature by change of caps and other parts.... if you're prepared to take that route.

interesting...have you tried to audition the 300b amp at architectural audio in new world ? i would like to see how it compares since they both use the same brand for the tubes, but the one at archi sells for 57k

 :( unfortunate but didn't see that one fr AA.  Is that integrated?  Well, price diff is huge.  It's really up the consumer if price diff is commensurate to the difference in sound -- i.e assuming the pricey one sounds better. I am believer of subjectve listening so your ears (and pocket perhaps  ;) ) will help one decide.

have you compared  them btw?

Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: Leiko on Sep 26, 2003 at 05:26 PM
am not sure about exact cost difference but you're talking abt P20k. one factor to consider is the need for Preamp... suggest you vist them, inspect and audition. for me, support is another import factor to consider esp if you're the type who likes to personally do some mods in the future... you may want to inquire about that too.

nope, the speakers on phasetron are not really a good match for the tube amps so u can't evaluate them properly.

i've heard of the 34.1 coupled with acoustic energy speakers (forgot the model) & aaudio bookshelves.  i find it a pretty decent amp...  

now, i am interested with the AMX amps because they are priced well...  why don't we do a group audition of the AMX amps to check them out?  we cab bring our CDs, CDPs, & speakers...

So what are you looking at: 300B, KT77, KT88, El-34 amps?  I saw these amps on display at several ocassions but not sure what remains on the shelf at this time... meron pa ba?

am also looking at the 300B-6sn7 (?)... will have to find time to audition this against the 300B-12ax7.  
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: john5479 on Oct 01, 2003 at 09:14 AM
what they have right now is the 300B with the silver faceplate ~30k, the 8w el34 single ended amp ~ 13k, the kt77 ~ 17k and the 50 w push pull kt88, they have a full range speaker for use on demoing these tube amps
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: geko on Oct 01, 2003 at 10:19 AM
kung pwede sana lahat.  sabi nga ni sir leiko, let your ears decide...  :)  i am interested, though, at the 300B & the push pull amps.  

sir john5479, fyi, i brought the AMX David 1 home yesterday to test it against the RB-3.  initial impression, as compared against my euphony push pull amp, is that the mids are lacking.  

medyo bitin at di balanse sa lows at highs (could it be the RB-3?).  have to push the volume knob all the way to 11-12 o'clock to make the RB-3 really sing.   ???  fyi, hindi pa broken 'yung speakers...

will do some more tests (change speaker cables, speakers, etc.) to verify initial impression...

okay pala, pwedeng i-home audition.  how many days ang binibigay nila?

what's the sensitivity of RB-3? would you know the full-range speakers currently paired with those amps? how different do they sound with yours?

some guys at pinoydiophiles may be kind enough to let you try these amps with bf.

sir leiko, the amp is actually mine.  i got it from a fellow pinoydvd member.  it is setup in the office & just brought it home yesterday to test with my RB-3.

what's the sensitivity of RB-3? would you know the full-range speakers currently paired with those amps? how different do they sound with yours?

according to the klipsch website, the sensitivity of RB-3 is 94dB @ 1watt/1meter.  unfortunately, hindi ko pa na-pair 'yung amp with full range speakers...

You can try the amp with my Bookshelf Fostex. Bass is a bit rolled off since I don't have a sub but it will be enough to evaluate the AMX. I stay at Salcedo Makati.

Note however that that is the old model. We will still need to audition the new ones.

Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: geko on Oct 08, 2003 at 06:44 PM
hindi, sir.  have to attend to something urgent last weekend.  try ko this weekend...

for some reason, the AMX David 1 started sounding better with the RB-3 this weekend.  pinalitan ko lang ang mga speaker wires & kinalikot yung mga interconnects.

i did a side by side of the AMX amp & my Euphony push pull amp using one source (NAD C521) & outputted to the RB-3s.  pareho haba at klase ang interconnects at speaker wires.

ang napansin ko...  the AMX sounded more forward with the mids a bit more pronounced.  on the other hand, the Euphony has a more balanced but grainier (hindi ko alam kung paano to explain.  :)) output.  parehong okay pero mas detalyado lang ng konti ang AMX.  but that is just me, of course...   :)      

btw, the AMX David 1 is an 8 watter ss rectified single ended amp using el-34 tubes.  
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: Leiko on Oct 08, 2003 at 06:50 PM
visited the shop this PM and saw the fullrange drivers on display.  unfortunately, wasn't able to audition... busy sila/daming tao and am pressed for time.

those are rather fancied vintage fullrange (Coral) "from the east" as the Westerners used to call them.  

Babalik ko/I shall return ... pati na rin yung Preamp nila.

keep those updates on your A/B testing coming...

ayos din, john5479, using the aaudio bookshelves & the floorstanders.  the sound is less bright & rounder.  medyo mahina nga lang dahil 87 db lang 'ata sensitivity ng mga 'yon...

i prefer the rb-3 with the AMX though.  ganda kasi detalye sa vocals & instrumental music, eh...  

fyi, hanggang ngayon nasa bahay pa rin 'yung AMX... siya na ang primary music source ko. ;D  di ko na nga nagagamit 'yung push pull ko, eh.  

ngayon, balik na ulit ako sa CD ROM & headphones sa office...   ;D

 ;DI'm glad you discovered AMX tube amps. They are designed and constructed better than some known vintage and newer tube amps including recently-made Asian ones. Just look at the inside and you'll know what I mean - good circuit layout and point-to-point wiring. That's why they sound good even with ordinary-grade capacitors, resistors, etc. Imagine how much better it will sound if you replaced them with audiophile- grade components! :o

The bottom line is: for an audio amplifier to sound good, it should  be designed technically correct. That's why one cannot further improve the sound of dynaco st70 even with audiophile-grade components because of its circuit topology that limits its performance! :o

Enjoy listening!  ;)

Who bought the P12k AMX at Parksquare? I would like to audition that in my room sana. I felt that when I auditioned it at parksquare, the low sensitivity speakers then and poor room acoustics didn't do it justice.

tama ka d'yan, sir.  i peeked inside the AMX David 1 & was surprised to find out how well laid out the components & the wirings are.  ganda ng pagka-ayos! not to mention that they are all hard wired...  :)

hindi ako technically adept sa electronics but, in my opinion, my AMX is a great value-for-money product.  o, 'yung mga  AMX amp owners d'yan.  baka gusto n'yong i-share 'yung mga amps, nyo...  ;D

Hello to all,

Need your help, I'm about to upgrade my yamaha home theater to HK2550 and MA B2 combination, when i heard the NAD c320BEE and MA B2 combo. So now im thinking of instead of having a move theater system i'll go for pure audio system.

my questions:

1 Is the NAD C3200BEE and MA B2 combo the best for its price value. (NAD C3200BEE = 14K, MA B2 + stand = 14.5 K)

2. how about tube amps? is there a tube and speaker which is  at the same price as NAD and MA combo?

3 Can you give me comparative analysis between Solid State NAD C3200BEE versus AMX 300.

thanks a lot,

frieden
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: Gino on Oct 27, 2003 at 12:50 PM
The AMX tube amp is best used with high sensitivity speakers like the Fostex FE167E (94db).

EL34 AMX costs P12+++ when available.

The Fostex FE167E Bookshelf (BS60) costs P15,000. The floorstander version (Brines 1.1) P20,+++. A 3rd version is the Fostex Mini Voigt MV167 floorstander. See wiredstate.com for these offerings under wiredstate projects forum.

I haven't heard the 320 nor the AMX (not properly, because it was driving an 86db speaker when I heard it).

Currently I am using a Rotel RA931 Mk II P15,+++ and a Fostex BS60 bookshelf. I love the resolution, mids are great, but shy on sub bass. I am still hunting for a good sub.

www.pbase.com/bs60

The 931 is often pitted against the 320 BEE in terms of price and performance.


For P15,000 (P11k DIY) , look into www.wiredstate.com TB 2A3 tube amp project. I heard this with the Brines Fostex 1.1. Nice combo.

Tube vs SS, pansin ko, mas holographic ang tube and bass is more defined. But difference is only noticeable when rapidly switching between the two for comparison. After playing the SS you begin to forget what you are missing. Well I do anyway.

I would like to hear the AMX with the Fostex and see how it fares against the Wiredstate.com TB 2A3.

Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: frieden on Oct 27, 2003 at 02:46 PM
Hi Gino,

Thank you very much for the reply, I just want to know where can I audition AMX / FE167E combo back to back with Rotel 931 / BS60 combo.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: Gino on Oct 27, 2003 at 03:55 PM
One way I can think of is to borrow an AMX and audition at my place. The BS60s are quite heavy to lug around to another house. Unfortunately Andrew has sold the P12k EL34 AMX. We need to find the guy who bought it.

Or if we can bring an AMX to Francis' (Vintage Dog of wiredstate) house at Alabang. He has all three variants of the Fostex FE167E (BS60, Brines 1.1, MV176 voigts).

Of course with all his other toys, we might just find other better combos hehehe.

Set up this arrangement with Andrew of Phasetron then get back to me.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: akyatbundok on Oct 28, 2003 at 03:02 PM
I just came from phasetron (and a few other stores) at parksquare... the tube amps have improved significantly in build quality.  Price ranges from 9k to 30k+.  One that i like in particular is a 12wpc single ended that costs 12k - it looks so classy.  I hope it sounds as good as it looks.  Too bad i had no time to audition.  They seem to have more choices now for speakers.  I saw a floorstander that looks like a DIY backloaded horn.  Hope its more sensitive than the Celestion SL right beside it.

Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: akyatbundok on Oct 28, 2003 at 04:24 PM
I think its locally made with parts from china.  They say its the owner's design, and you can have it customized.  Im planning to go back and ask if they can make a customized preamp with the same casing as the 12watter.  Then maybe XLR terminals and a bypass switch so i can use it in my mixed HT/audio setup.  But if the unit already has pre-outs, then it could be a candidate for a xmas gift (for myself).

...nga pala hans, i could have been mistaken, kt88 yata gamit nung 12k/12wpc amp.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: Leiko on Oct 29, 2003 at 05:46 AM
these are all locally made and designed by the owner himself.  he told me he used japanese parts -- except transfo and casing yata.  Nothing exotic tho.  (thus the price)  better talk to the guy to understand more about this design philo.   i have learnt a lot from him in my brief and casual chats.

the DIY speakers are fitted with vintage Coral drivers.  Used to be very popular in the old days.  
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: akyatbundok on Oct 29, 2003 at 09:43 AM
Thanks for the additional info Leiko, these amps definitely deserve a more serious look.  The construction is first rate, the pricing is great... and the last that i just need to check out is the sound.  I've previously auditioned a great-sounding tube preamp w/ custom circuit and brushed aluminum casing.  Its construction looks great but the AMX is ahead by a mile.  The custom preamp costs the same as the 12k KT88 integrated.  Now if it has pre-ins/outs and sounds as good... merry xmas!

Delikado pala makapunta dyan sa Park Square 1.   ;D  ;D

Post by: akyatbundok on Oct 31, 2003 at 01:19 PM
I just came from Phasetron this morning and got to inspect the 12k amp more closely.  It looks very classy with its combination of glossy wood with aluminum and gold trim.  The emblem says "KT88 - 6550 Single Ended Integrated Amplifier".  In terms of build quality, this 12-watt SE amp is almost in the same league as the 8-watt TS Audio SE34.1... if only they would put covers on the trafos.  But the good part is that you can specify any nitpick you want and they will do it.

I listed down the tubes used:

-  2pcs, National 12AX7
-  1pc, Matsush1ta 5AR4/GZ34
-  2pcs, Svetlana 6550
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: john5479 on Oct 31, 2003 at 01:24 PM
also passed by phasetron, the 9k amp provides 6w/channel and has a nice casing, but i guess speaker matching is critical with this one...and i can't judge its sound quality yet..pero tempting yung price. the 12k amp is no slouch either in the looks department...but both don't have direct amp inputs...pero pwedeng palagyan according to them , for an additional cost
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: Leiko on Oct 31, 2003 at 05:44 PM
john, what are the tubes on the P9k? by, no direct input, does that mean it requires a preamp?

john, what are the tubes on the P9k? by, no direct input, does that mean it requires a preamp?

btw, i like their faceplates most. thick brushed alums.

I think they are 6BQ5 (identical to El-84).  I like the way it looks also.  Simple lang.

I will try to check this out, hopefully, by tomorrow.  Dalhin ko 'yung AAUDIO bookshelves ko...

Just look at the inside and you'll know what I mean - good circuit layout and point-to-point wiring. That's why they sound good even with ordinary-grade capacitors, resistors, etc. Imagine how much better it will sound if you replaced them with audiophile- grade components! :o

The bottom line is: for an audio amplifier to sound good, it should  be designed technically correct. That's why one cannot further improve the sound of dynaco st70 even with audiophile-grade components because of its circuit topology that limits its performance! :o
i am a builder myself and although my standard is good P2P wiring, it does not guarantee your amp will sound good. i've seen spaghetti wired amps that are excellent sounding. tube amps using properly designed PCBs sound excellent too.

the design has to be technically correct, that's true.

and i know that the dynaco ST-70 was designed for the masses, but how can you make a claim that its circuit topology limits its performance? what proof? i am not an expert in ST-70 or tubes for that matter so please elaborate such a bold claim.

there is nothing mystical, magical in tube amp design. heck, even those invented by western electric since 1930's are still in use today.

i'm not biased on the ST-70 for the record, i don't even own one and i don't plan to own one. you can be a critique of anything as long as your criticisms are substantiated. making baseless claims (until such a reply is posted) such as that is not good.

i scrutinize even my own work, and i'm not  ashamed some of them sucks, but most of them are very good, if not excellent. i don't say this amp sounds good because i designed it, or i built it. i'm more critical in my work.

if somebody says the AMX amps sucks, i would still ask the same question. why? what substantiated the claim?

don't get me wrong. it is not about a 'particular' amp i reacted to, rather the claim or the statement that was made.

maybe it is the poster's opinion, and if it is the case, then i don't have a problem with that. opinions are just that, opinions.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: geko on Nov 05, 2003 at 07:43 PM
i had the opportunity to try out the following at Phasetron yesterday with sir hans adrianne:
1. 6BQ5 amp
2. KT-88 amp
3. EL-34 amp
4. 300B amp

using the following setup:
1. DIY speakers with vintage Corral driver
2. Denon CD Player

given the short warm-up time of less than 30 minutes, my observation are as follows:
1. 6BQ5 amp
this amp didn't quite sing with the above setup.  i missed the usual lusciousness of Keiko Lee's voice when we played several tracks from her "Voices" album.  

perhaps, it would have sounded better if it is properly warmed up or when paired with a higher sensitivity speaker.

2. KT-88 amp
this amp sounded better than the 6BQ5 in all departments especially when it has warmed up after several tracks.  Keiko Lee's "Imagine" is more passionate when played using this amp.  

i noticed, though, that the male second voice is more subdued.  i would love it to be more forward as it emphasizes the quality of Keiko Lee's voice.              

3. EL-34 Amp
i was surprised to hear this amp to sound better than the KT-88.  It has a much clearer & better balanced sound.  it sounded good on both vocals & instrumental tracks.  

we played several tracks from the Starbucks West Coast Jazz album.  ganda!  it is as if the bands are playing right in front of you.  

4. 300B Amp
dito ako saludo.  i love the way this amp sounded.  ang lambing!  wala na akong masabi...    

before you go after my neck  ;D, let me say that the above are purely my personal observations/opinions.  i didn't follow any scientific method when i did the audition...  i just tried to listen to the same tracks when i went through each of the amps.

i suggest that you visit the shop & request for an audition.  i feel that they are worth checking out given their prices.  

oks lang naman sa kanila, eh.  the people in Phasetron are very accommodating.  actually, i enjoyed talking to Mr. Sevilla, the shop owner, as much as listening to the amps.  

o sir hans adrianne...  ikaw naman...   ;D

Sir geko,

I'm not good in reviews  :D :D but i'll give it a try... wasn't able to bring some cd fortunately Geko have a bunch..

1, 6BQ5 amp - dynamic is ok clear vocal but sound is a little bit slim for my taste Keiko lee voice sounded different mmmh.. parang little girl ang dating (sorry) think it need a very good speaker to match it to give a much warm and body sound.

2. KT-88 amp - better sound than 6BQ5 amp especially after an hour of play agree with Geko now keiko lee voice is now a lady keiko lee  ::) ::) compare the sound nice.

3. David 1 ( Geko amp ) - first I taught yun speaker ang problema But now the coral DIY speaker sings nicely compare to the first 2 amp.. 8) 8) more livelier and vocals are centered even without the toe in instrument are on there respective place.. tapos for the price Geko got it.. Grabe!! PANALO I think better wire will give more justice to that amp tapos ako will paired it with a very good floorstander.. 8) 8)

4. 300B - ANG GALING!!! yan ang hinahanap kooooo... but the price naku po... Grabe din..

The owner/builder can make tube to your preference and he mention that he plans to make a hybrid amp soon..

sir gino, is this a new amp model?  

i was there at Phasetron yesterday & mr. sevilla asked me to give the kt-88 amp another listen as he did some tweaks on it.  pucha!  nalaglag panga ko!!!  

ang ganda ng sound!!!  it sounded a lot better than when i first heard it a couple of days ago.  using again the same setup as last time, it was more open & sweeter.  nakakahina ng tuhod ang tunog!   :D

EH will require a lot of time for the grain to smoothen out. at first i despise my EH EL-34 when i had to replace my quad of Svets due to one tube failing. but then i stuck to it, and after three months, it started to smoothen out. before spending additional cash, give it a chance.

how many 12AX7 does your amp need? what is the current 12AX7 brand?

change the 12AX7 to sylvania or jan philips (at least NOS mga ito), baka mawala ang nipis ng amp.

i know national electronics that is china, but not germany and i have no experience with those. when i see the tube structure maybe i can relate.

prices of the amps are as follows:
1. 6BQ5 amp = PhP 9K
2. KT-88 amp = PhP 12K
3. 300B amp = PhP 30K

KT-88 for P12k wow! is this the AMX push-pull amp that uses 4 x KT88 and 2 x 6SN7, 2 x 6SL7 tube? The last time I visit kasi their selling it for P28K.

Any recommended floorstander speaker of KT88 push-pull and 300B amp.

thanks

sir levi,  i am a proud owner of AMX David 1, an 8 wpc El-34 based ss rectified amp.   i already posted some of my observations in my previous posts above.  fyi.  :)

I forgot about this post anyway I am on a hunt for a second system. How does the AMX compared to other tubes like Scott or an ST70? If its just the same then dyan na. Cheaper and also nice looking.

the available KT-88 amp, i believe, is single-ended.  i am not sure if in pentode or triode mode...  nabili na ata 'yung push pull amp...

re speakers, i have not heard it with other speakers yet other than the DIY Corral-driven speakers they have in the shop.  pero, siguro, any speakers with relatively high sensitivity will do.  

the best thing to do, in my opinion, is to audition the amp with your speakers.   :)

hth.  :)

i have not had the opportunity to listen to a Scott or to an ST70 yet so i would not really know.  i have compared my AMX with my Euphony push pull amp, though, before when i still have the latter.  

what i can say is, considering the type of music that i usually play,  i like the way my AMX sounded than my push pull amp.  but that just me, of course...   :D

...had an opportunity to audition this evening AMX's tube amp line...very impressive...guess who brought his speakers para ma-try lahat nung mga amp - GEKO...was able to meet SYMON also...

actually, napadaan lang naman ako...came from upscale...nag-stay tuloy ako ng 2-oras for a listening session...was particularly impressed with the 300B...the 6550s were also impressive (especially for the price, it's highly recommended for newbies in tube amp)...

hey geko...i have the perfect  prescription for you...i found this very effective (thanks to m_shoe_maker)...before you sleep tonight, try to recite this about 1,000-times - 300B, 300B, 300B, 300B, 300B...until makatulog ka sa pagod...do it everyday (it's more effective if you also do it before your afternoon siesta time)...remember - 300B!!!

...the owner of phasetron might (crossing my fingers) allow me to bring the 300B amp home to audition it...yahoo!  8)

thanks!  8)

we were able to audition another variant of the 300B last night.  i must say that i was really impressed!   it has the usual lambing of 300B plus the dynamics of good SS amps.  

hanep sa bass...  it really made the Corral DIY speaker sing!!!  it made my RB3 bloom also.  lumabas ang bass!!!  medyo sibilant ng konti ang vocals, though.   most prorabably because it is still very new.  kakadeliver lang 'ata ng saturday...

as for the 6550, this is the amp to check out if you do  not wish yet to plunk serious money.  we tested this amp with my RB3 as well.  ang ganda rin ng tunog...  lumabas lalo 'yung mga detalye!  

hayyy...  sana dumating na si Santa Claus...   ;D  

btw, nice meeting you symon.  :D

hi!  has anybody auditioned the 12k AMX tube preamp?  how does it compare to the BOM tube preamp in AudioTech Raon?  I think the BOM doesn't have a phono stage so its cheaper (8k).  Can't see the tubes used coz they both have a closed chasis and the tubes are inside.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: john5479 on Nov 13, 2003 at 11:02 AM
the 12k preamp uses a torroidal trannie and has a buffer input ala x-10d, haven't tried it but you can always bring your amp there and try it out  :)

thanks!  that's very useful info.. i actually spent a little bit more on a MF x10-d + x-psu, but then that may be comparing apples to oranges.  the MF adds body to my pioneer dvd player, and im a bit reluctant to move it to my inexpensive audio setup.  now i can keep the MF where it is now, and have the option for a pure audio preamp.. thank you thank you.

fyi lang...  

i dropped by phasetron yesterday & saw a 100wpc EL34-based push pull amp.  it was driving (with ease) the celestion speakers (86db sensitivity) when i walked in.  i would say that i didn't expect those speakers to sound beautifully...  matching lang talaga siguro ng amp.  :)

the amp has 8 el34 tubes & 4 smaller tubes if i am not mistaken.  hindi ko binusisi (dahil ayokong ma-SARS  ;D) kaya di ko sigurado kung ano 'yung 'yung smaller tubes...  i believe it is selling for PhP 28K.   :)

The full review and pics will come later.

The amp is 60w x 2 uses 3 6sn7s and 8 el34s, 4 per channel and is ss rectified using hexfreds, each channel has chokes for better separation according to andrew sevilla. The power tubes are in parallel, ultralinear push pull configuration, pentode mode and running on class A. and this is one heavy amp :o

Initial impressions are a very wide soundstage, lots of details and it can rock...tried stairway to heaven and the separation between instruments and vocals is breathtaking :) of course it helps that the amp i am using is the wiredstate tono preamp...proudly phillippine made folks!  ;)

Sometimes you can get lucky at Deeco in Raon. About 2 months ago I bought 20 pieces of elna silmic (47uf 25V, ok for cathode bypass?) for P60 bucks, 50 pieces of Nichicon fine gold (100uf 25V) for about P65.

Uyyyy!  Meron akong kilalang me bagong AMX PP amp.  Heheh.  Congrats, bro.  Enjoy your new toy!

BTW, was at Phasetron last night & saw several new amps.  Isang KT-88 based PP, isang 2A3-based PP, at isang 2A3-based SET.

I got to hear the 2A3 amps.  Initial impression, ganda ng mids especially on vocals & sax/piano tracks.  Balanse din ang bass & highs at ayos ang detalye.  All-in-all, they're decent sounding amps.  I liked the SET better, though, as I find it more "malambing" than the PP.

FYI lang.  You might wish to check them out.    :)

i haven't heard the KT-88s.  pero, i tube roll my el-34 amp with a 6550 which is a near cousin of KT-88.

nyeks!? ;D heheh basta sila magkabit... sir alam niyo ba specs nung KT88 PP?  alin ba mas mura, apat na EL34 o dalawang KT88?  ano ba mas maganda tumunog na circuit for multiple tubes, parallel class A o push-pull?

ano ba mas maganda tumunog na circuit for multiple tubes, parallel class A o push-pull?
to me, nothing beats a single tube in single-ended mode.

multiple tube designs are a compromise for lower sensitivity speakers, and that's why we have parallel single-ended and push-pull.

here's my take on the matter:

push pull design splits the signal out-of-phase (negative and positive) and reconstructs them (reassemble). tubes must be matched pair and must be kept if sharing the same bias, hence individual adjustable bias to compensate for tube drifting. purists and KISS people do not like this splitting/reconstruction phase and avoids such designs.

single-ended triodes, albeit their lower power, keeps the signal intact.

some groups subscribe to the idea above, and use parallel output triodes, to achieve higher (double) power, reason why some people prefer PSE designs over PP. with the transconductance doubled, and plate resistance halved, it may sound sonically superior over PP. however, there is a general theory that parallel designs don't sound as clean and pure as single-output tube designs, because the final output is influenced by the characteristics of each of the output tubes and coined a term called "muddying up the signal." again this is debatable, urband legend or not, as PSE designs are used by even high-end amplifiers such as the Kondo Neiro which uses 2A3s in PSE configuration.

paralleled tubes must be matched properly to avoid "muddying up."

to confuse you more, there are parallel single-ended push-pull designs. with so many tubes, keeping them matched over time will be terribly difficult.

sometimes, we are greatly influenced by "power" rather than tonal balance, clarity and detail. sometimes, we want bass, overpowering at times, and we like that at the expense of balance, naturalness of the music.

in the end, only you can decide, regardless of the topology, what you will buy. topology can be thrown out the window.

hmmm...  

siguro mga 3x ng cost ng EL-34 'yung KT-88.   so, kung 1 PHP each ang EL-34 at 3 PhP each ang KT-88 then...   4 pcs of EL-34 at 4 PhP will cost less than 2 pcs of KT-88 at 6 PhP.

that is, kung tama ang assumptions ko...   ::)

eto na eto na.... kagagaling ko lang doon.

here's what's displayed:
- tube preamp with a 3rd tube (rectifier??) - 7.5k
- 2A3 SE amp 4wpc - 16.5k
- 2A3 PP amp 10wpc - 26k
- KT88 PP amp 50wpc - 25k

i checked the tube prices:
- EL34 - 1.2k
- russian KT88 - 3k

there are 3 kinds of chassis:
- chromed body with black front plate
- chromed body with silver & fiberglass front plate
- black body with silver chromed front plate

due to time constraints, i was able to test only the KT88 PP driving the giant Alon speakers... ganda ng tunog, its very detailed and sweet, much better than the KT88 SE but that may be bcoz the SE version's 12wpc wasn't able to match the Coral speaker... there are 2 KT88 amps on display, the one i tested had a layout similar to hans' amp -- had 4 driver tubes, 1 big Elna cerafine cap and 2 chokes... the other one had 3 driver tubes and layout was like the TB2A3.

i'm going back this weekend to take some pictures.

where'd you get 'em, and if you dont mind, for how much? mahal el34 mullards sa net eh, 75USD (used NOS) cheapest nakita ko per piece!

anyway, sabi nila sa ws svetlana el34's are good. they're a bit cheaper at rene's or mickey's (silver strings)

sir v0elker, ala pa ako st-70 (next project ko yun, ahehehehe). am still setting my budget for everything,eh para pwede magtube rolling kung sakali. kaya i was asking the el34s'. actually, my scott is using el84, mas mahal siya sa el34.  was able to see hypers thread at wiredstate. telefunken el84s cost around 3k per piece and i'll be needing 4 of them :-\.  sylvania costs at 1.5k per piece naman.

yes, it's true for el34s' russian svets are a very good and cheaper alternative (mga 1.2k to 1.5k per piece).  mullards are a bit pricey but performance and durability is much better.

mullard el34 are considered one of the best sounding el34 tubes of all time.

they are pricey, anywhere from $75-200 a piece depending on condition.

the svetlana's are very good new production tubes.  they sound very close to the mullards but not as refined, and they cost only a fraction of the mullards...

this one is a 300B SE

i got to hear this amp last saturday & i could say that it is is one good sounding amp.  balanseng-balanse...  

it has foot tapping dynamics, punchy bass, & knee-weakening luscious mids...

it was originally installed with 6L6 driver tubes (complemented by, if I am not mistaken, 6SL7 tubes) giving it a bluesy sound.  for curiosity's sake, andrew replaced them with EL-34 tubes which made the amp more dynamic.

fyi, as per andrew, prototype pa lang po 'to & still being improved!

i think these should be the least of your worries lance as there are new production tubes out in the market these days that are priced cheaper from their NOS counterparts and yet can even sound as close as NOS tubes. there are really pros and cons in venturing into this hobby, ika nga nila magastos, ahehehehehe. one does not really have to change all tubes at once every year or even a couple more.

my tb2a3 (2wpc) can drive m73i at a moderate level. i saw a pair of mission m73i in phasetron before. if the speakers are still there, audition them and find out if
AMX 2a3 SE can drive them.

wait too for the WS integrated amp. it is coming ASAP. the WS team may allow a home audition of that amp. if thats the case, youll have a chance to listen to it with your speakers.

john5479, alin ang natira doon?

I stand corrected, according to the people there kinuha lang yung 300B and yung kt88 with ELNA caps for some tweaking and adding handles sa chassis for easier carrying. Anyway the amps do look good but its better to listen to them first, if u can bring along your speakers, much better. as for me the amp that I liked there is the PP kt88 with ELNA caps, it has PRAT since I was foot tapping while listening to cds I used for auditioning almost all the time, I never been like that with other amps I have auditioned. might be too warm for some but each has their own preferences. I haven't heard the 300B yet but I think I will opt for the wiredstate 300B, mabuhay ang gawang pinoy!!!  ;D

mga sirs, reviews naman diyan on the kt88, mukhang nice to have 'to, ah!

I auditioned the PP kt88 amp which has an elna cerafine capacitor sticking out. This amp is in ultralinear mode so it gives out around more or less 50watts per channel. can't really say what parts they have inside (they might be just your typical resistors and caps you can buy at raon, with the elna erafine being the exception) but as for the sound, its really good.

I auditioned them using the speakers with coral drivers, using a denon cd player as the source and using generic speaker wires and interconnects.I would describe the sound as dynamic though a little on the warm side (which I like) like I said in my previous post my foot was tapping to the beat, while I listened. I played cd's of jheena loodwick, snow rose, eva cassidy and livingston taylor.  


Haven't tried it with rock songs which I listen to every now and then so I cannot comment on how they perform on rock. I forgot to bring my evanescence CD to test the amp, "bring me to life" would have been a good way to test the amp  ;D

I am not a certified audiophile but I really liked what I heard, and I commissioned andrew sevilla to build me some kt88 monoblocks. these monoblocks though will be a bit pricey since its customized to my taste, and it doesn't help that I requested for some premium parts  :)

The best thing though is still to audition, there are a lot of choices out there so choose whats best for your budget, ears and what matches with your gears. Dito lang sa pinoydvd you'll have a lot of options and advices on what to consider. another forum you can go to is wiredstate.com, they have a lot of amps coming up and their projects have rave reviews.  its always good to support your own since both of these amps are made by filipinos. enjoy the music!  ;)

The monoblocks I have requested uses torroidal trannies and will be quite heavy. It will have two modes to select, ultralinear and triode mode. This amp will be used for my hard to drive speakers. Andrew says that this is his own design.

audition...  audition....  audition...  audition with your gears if possible.  

trust your ears...  if you don't trust your ears, commission another set of ears.  better yet, make that sets of ears.  

get expert advise if available.  get as much information as you could about the product.  the technology.  read magazines, surf the internet, go to forums like pinoydvd & wiredstate.  ask.  do not be afraid to ask/inquire.    

at the end of the day, it is your money (& time) that you would be spending.  so spend it wisely.  it's not a bad idea to get the most out of your hard earned money.  

if you are on a tight budget, be prepared to make compromises.  we live in a world of compromises anyway...  

tapos, iuwi mo na ang amp/gears mo at i-enjoy mo.  by playing the music you like.  

ito naman di ba ang saysay nitong pinagkakaabalahan natin?  :)

very good advice.

if you guys are serious about going tubes, feel free to browse and ask questions at wiredstate.com.  it has over 700+ members composed of well-known local and foreign-based designers, engineers, audiophiles and most of all, music lovers.  folks debate, support, contribute in the forums.  what makes the forum unique is the honest-to-goodness feedback and suggestions you get from folks who have gone through the same journey and learned lessons along the way...

also, join the listening sessions where various brands of amps are compared.  amps surprisingly have unique signatures and what one likes will be different from what another one likes...

best of all, it's free   ;)

yep once you have an idea on what you want its either you buy a branded one or have someone build you the amp or if you can DIY :) Circuit design used is still the key, even if the parts are not all premium partsm if the design is very good to begin with,  then it should still sound good. of course it has to of good build quality to begin with  8)

di ako sure e, around 10wpc in pentode mode, lower if you set it to triode mode. Sounds nice, could benefit with a beefier power supply though. opinion ko lang.

thanks john5479.

more choices... more more more!  ;D ;D

i remember phasetron once had a 100wpc el34 amp... i heard it in somebody's place driving a big speaker, the sound was warm & powerful.

anybody remember the 12wpc KT88 SE that was in wood casing?  it had an unmarked switch that changes the sound significantly... the guy there said its a loudness switch... could it be by any chance what's mentioned here as a pentode/triode switch?  dunno exactly what that does except to change from one mode to another, but in terms of change in sound, would it be almost like a loudness switch?

if it was an integrated amp with tone controls (balance/treble) then it could be a loudness switch. if not, it can be a negative feedback switch (without feedback it would be louder at the expense of more distortion), or triode/pentode mode switch which of course in pentode mode it will be louder.

a case of over simplification.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: akyatbundok on Feb 18, 2004 at 05:14 PM
thanks again arnoldc... would having a switch like that, changing operating modes from pentode/triode to ultralinear/etc. mean that the amp has 2 circuits?  or is it just a single circuit with some minor signal rerouting to achieve the effect?  i'm thinking of cost to build, would having that option significantly add to the cost.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: arnoldc on Feb 19, 2004 at 12:22 AM
akyat,

here's my take. if you want a single ended triode sound, don't buy a pentode wired for triode. a pentode is a pentode, will never be a triode.

however, if you insist, the same circuit can be wired for "triode" strapping, single ended pentode or ultralinear. again, conditions exist.

di ako sure e, around 10wpc in pentode mode, lower if you set it to triode mode.

was at Phasetron last night to check out this amp.  the amp is an SE amp wired to operate on pentode, ultralinear, & triode mode.  it can churn out 12 wpc, 10 wpc, & 8 wpc in these modes respectively.  

fyi.  :)

Geko,

if i am not mistaken,the amp costs PhP 16.5K.  initial impressions, has PRAT in pentode mode & an engagingly warm mid in the triode mode.        

the amp was coupled with a DIY floorstander which is a bit on the bright side.  medyo distracting 'yung brightness...   unfortunately, wasn't able to try it with Alon IV speakers.  will do that next time.  :)

i had the opportunity to bring home the 6550-based amp (with pentode, ultralinear, & triode operation modes) last night to audition with my gears.  actually, my primary objective is to find out if the amp can drive my 88db Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers with decency.  me masamang balak, eh...  heheheh.   ;D  

first album, starbucks' west coast jazz album, played with the amp in ultralinear mode.  ayos naman.  volume pot at 1 pm at wala pa ring distortion.  first track, i already find my feet tapping involuntary.   hmmm...   ???

next album,  Carmen McRae's Sarah - Dedicated to you.  the amp this time is in triode mode with the volume pot at 10 am (11 in the evening na, eh.).  the song Misty is knee-weakening,  Send in the Clown saddening, Black Coffee promising something exciting...  nakatulog tuloy ako.  aaarrggghhh!   :'(                
 
5 am.  with the amp still at triode mode & the volume pot at 9 am.  i played several tracks from the album Brazilian Sketches.  yesss...  Stacey Kent voice, luscious.  the sax lines, sensous.  of course, that "suklay" sound in the track So Nice...   unfortunately, have to get ready to go to work.  baka ma-late ako at mawalan ng source ng panggastos sa bisyong 'to.   ;)

conclusion, the amp can drive the Dahlquist DQ-10 decently at moderate volume levels.   ;D    

nga pala, i used the following in the audition:
1) old Kenwood LD player (can't even remember the model.  :P)
2) Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers (luma din.  :-\)
3) Audio Pro 12 wga speaker wires
4) DIY interconnects (Audio Pro cable terminated by Quantum RCA plugs)

'yun lang po.  balik trabaho na.  sama na tingin ng boss ko.   8)

auditioned ko rin finally itong amx 300b at 2A3(hehe ngayon lang umaga actually).

2A3 is driving the big speaker Torral (tama ba spelling)
tapos iyong 300b.  

Pero sandali lang ako wala kasi Si Mr. Andrew Sevilla, gusto kong makausap habang nakikinig at magkaroon ng options and recommendations.  

mamya daw lunch andoon so balik na lang ako.  

Pwedeng palitan ang chassis rayt?

The kt88 amp i liked there was retubed with svetlana el34's dunno why though. the chassis was modified and handles were added for easier carrying. Was not able to audition it though.

For those interested in the different circuits:

http://www.plitron.com/PDF/PB/Article/Atcl_4.pdf

nice article! super-triode looks interesting.

is the 6550/kt88 amp similar to the old SE amp with the wood chassis?  i didn't get a picture of that one.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: geko on Feb 23, 2004 at 11:21 AM
hmmmnn sino kaya yung nagpatweak ng tube amp  ??? 8)

meron ba?!?  hmmm...  aside from yours truly?   ;D

btw, i had my David 1 amp tweaked as follows:
1. changed ultralinear mode to pentode mode.
2. setup 6550 as fixed bias (with cathode follower)

the tweak resulted to a higher power (12 wpc, clipping at 15 wpc) on pentode mode.  ;D  medyo bumaba lang ang gain.  the usual sound level at 10-11 o'clock now requires the pot to be at 1-2 o'clock.  unfortunately, a pre-amp stage cannot be added anymore as there's no more space.  :-\  

the best result, though, is that it has retained it sweet sound ala triode with lots of PRAT.  sarap pakinggan... it can also drive my DQ10s with relative ease.   ;D

sorry for the late reply wala na ko ngayon sa pinas.

anyways, di ako nakabalik noong lunch naipit ako at natagalan sa Qatar Airways office kya di ko  rin nakausap si Andrew Sevilla.

Iyon nga iyon speaker ni nirvblkr kya pamilyar sa akin, iyong attendant na nakausap ko noong umaga di sya masyadong pamilyar sa mga equipment doon eh (aminado naman sya).  kya i left without good information sana maka-attend ng mga sessions ng mga tube gurus ng Pinoy DVD sa mga future sessions nila.

No.

You can have an external power supply though. For your intents and purposes (whatever they are), you can ask the builder to make a separate PSU chassis which will connect to your amplifier chassis via umbilical cord (high voltage required). With a connector such as Clifconn, you can have them make you two (2) PSUs, one tube rectified and one SS rectification. It has to be separate because only one PSU can be active at one time.

Why do you want this?

By the way, i do use hybrid (tube AND SS, NOT tube OR SS) in one of my amps.

Thanks for your input sir.. just an idea since limited space ako tapos alam mo na yun What if question hehe.. and mukha ok kasi both dynamics and sweetness makasama.

Lance,

Phasetron and shop nila and usually after office andun si Mr Sevilla.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: arnoldc on Feb 27, 2004 at 10:45 AM
hans, are you saying that your current amp has SS rectification and lacks "sweetness?"

some people claim that tubes give "sweetness" and SS gives dynamics, but i would say it is a generalization.

it is about the design... not only the PSU, also of the amp.

Hans,

When I had the amp built, I wanted it to "rock". changing the parts might help but like what sir arnoldc said, its in the design of the amp. maybe andrew can suggest something to suit your needs  :)

Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: john5479 on Feb 27, 2004 at 11:27 AM
Hans,

either way the amp should be moved to a bigger chassis, medyo masikip na if you want to change to tube rectification...ipon na lang then convert to amp to monoblocks  ;D
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: H a n $ on Feb 27, 2004 at 11:28 AM

I was thinking like one amp that can do the dynamics of ST70 when playing rock tapos vocals and mids of SET amp customize into one amp hehehe.  ::) ::) which i feel impossible ba?
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: john5479 on Feb 27, 2004 at 11:51 AM
mahirap yata yang gusto mo pare, although some prefer that el34 be used as its intended as a pentode, maybe you can ask andrew to add a triode mode, para mas sweet yung sound but might not be as detailed, and less power. bili ka na lang ng SET hehe

swerte ko naman all of a sudden meron ako nito for tomorrow's session... sayang sir geko di ka pwede.

i have just arrived in the office and i'm very late (11:30am)... di naman ako masyado napuyat (1:30am) pero i made the mistake of turning on the amp this morning... i can't get enough of the sound!!  kaya tuloy i left home almost 11:00am after listening to the same CD's i already listened to last night.

maganda kasi ang tunog... i could still remember the sound of kimpao's scott playing beverly staunton... on my sansui w/c is my warmest, most tube-sounding ss amp, beverly staunton sounds satisfyingly sweet but tube amps are on a different level as far as sweetness is concerned... at first i thought they almost sound the same, but once you pinpoint where the differences lie, they become glaring differences... it's the end of innocence, you can't go back once you've crossed the line, you are bitten by a bug, withdrawal effects haunt you... a tube amp surprises you by making a familiar CD sound different.

i'm getting one by middle of this year, maybe earlier... its just a matter of which tube, which circuit, which chassis... its a great time to be an audio enthusiast!!

ST-70, sir akyat ;D ;D ;D ;D

kung affordable lang sana ito.. cheapest na nakita kong price is 28k.

i remember there was once an AMX amp based on a single tube per channel.. cant remember which tube but i suspect it was EL34.. it was modestly priced at 8k.

i wonder how much mr. andrew would price a PP/PSE amp based on 2 EL34/ch ?

after seeing how 12wpc can drive my ms908, it seems i dont need too many tubes, i can always use an ss amp for extra oomph.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: john5479 on Feb 27, 2004 at 07:51 PM
you can have have the el34s in PSE (parallel single ended) for relatively more power and your choice if you want it tube or ss rectified might go more or less 20k depending on parts.

OT: I saw this interesting single ended design using 6sn7 tubes as predrivers, 2a3 tubes as drivers and a pair of el34s as power tubes connected in parallel. hmmnnn
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: arnoldc on Feb 28, 2004 at 10:22 AM
john, sayang lang yung 2A3

besides an EL34 is not that hard to drive, even a 12AU7 can drive it, heck, you can even make an EL34 amplifier without a driver stage.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: john5479 on Feb 28, 2004 at 03:26 PM

Just got curious on the rationale of using the 2a3 (even saw another using a 300B) as the driver instead of the el34 for the design i saw...thanks for the tip ! 8)

Maybe they can also custom built these mini monoblocks near the price.

(http://a799.g.akamai.net/3/799/388/41edc224e1d265/www.msnbc.com/news/1755588.jpg)

(http://www.hwdsound.com/products/images/asl_WAVE.jpg)
from one review:

"Their Antique Sound Labs division produce a small, lightweight, 8-10 watt tube mono-block (one amplifier for each stereo channel) amp called the Wave-8.

It uses two inexpensive tubes in each amp to create what I consider one of the great bargains in hi-fi today. These amps cost $99 each — $119 if you want a cover for the top and a detachable AC power cord (I’ll explain about that below). I’m not quite sure how they get so much sound for this price, but because they make the components inside to order and assemble it overseas, it’s quite an amazing feat.

How do they sound? Very, very good for any price. Fine bass, smooth midrange and a pretty good high end. This is compared to a lot of other more expensive tube amps that I’ve heard. There is also a growing groundswell in the audio underworld about modifying the AV-8s. Do-it-yourselfers have reported amazing improvements by changing just a few of the capacitors, etc. inside. I’m told by other friends that it changes a good amp into one bordering greatness."


I have not thorougly read yet regarding the tubes used.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: john5479 on Mar 01, 2004 at 08:23 AM
I think i saw an integrated amp using the same tubes some months ago, but it was using a pair of them so its likely around 5 watts per channel i think ???

I was at phasetron last friday, at around 3:30mp. Kasama ko nga officemates ko. Hanep pla yung mga tube amp sa personal ;D ang lakas ng dating. Ang ganda ng porma. Ang bait nga nung girl na staff nila dun kaya lang wala si Mr Sevilla. Then in audition ko yung isang integrated amp dun :(kaya lang di ko naitanong kung anong model nun yun price lang nakita ko eh, 16,500 yung price. yun lang ang medyo kaya ko kaya yun nalang pinakinggan ko. Ang ganda ng tunog. yung high and mid saksakan ng swabe although wala akong cd na dala kasi biglaan ang pagpunta namin don. Kaya lang yung bass di ko ma appreciate. yung unang ginamit na speaker ay yung alon then parang wala pa rin bass so pinalipat ko dun sa speaker ni nirblakr, ganon pa rin yung bass parang kulang pa rin sa akin pero yung high and mid di ko yata makalimutan. May nakasabay nga kami don alam nya yung speaker ni anthony so i guess taga pdvd yon. Sayang di ko nakausap si Mr. Sevilla. This amp has a selector for pentode, triode saka may isa pa i forgot lang kasi sarap makinig. Do you think it is possible na maging naticeable yung bass kung ipa pa tweak. Kahiyang magtanong kasi di pa naman ako bibili kasi nag iipon pa ako eh. Thanks.

conducted a group audition together with the kwela group and auditioned this tube.. if i remember right the model is 5660.. nweis priced at an affordable 16,500.. driving the alon speakers.. coral and the AA speakers.. it made the speakers sing..  :D sayang nde namin naibaba yung B4 kung match din sya..  ;D  :D pagiipunan ko na sana..  ;D

We were there last Saturday and was able to audtion the 6550 tube amp. and your right sir high and mid are heaven as for the bass IMHO ok na ako dun pero like John said what speaker are you using? sayang nga at closing na park square eh kung may time pa bka na audition na with MA B4.. marami sa kasama ko pre interested dun sa 6550.

Di lang ako familiar dun sa music na nakasalang so i guess hindi talaga noticeable ang bass don. pero definitely oks sa akin yung tunog na narinig ko. mas ok sana kung si mr sevilla nakausap ko. some other time na siguro. pag may pambili na ako. pero definitelybibibli ako nyang de tubo na yan..grabeee....wheewwww

Price grabe sobra bargain yan!!! was texting Akyat the night before and he was amazing how this baby drive his MS908 with grace at listening volume. we were joking baka yun magic "sili" ang dahilan ng very nice sound.. hehehe. 8) 8)

the pleasure is all mine.  next time 'yung 3 wpc 6V6-based SE amp naman ang pakinggan natin.   ;D  

it's nice to hear that the amp fared decently when compared to the other amps.  sana next time, makasama na 'ko...  curious din ako kung ano ang mga differences.   :D

'yung "sili" na 'yun ang "secret weapon" nuong amp...   heheheh. ;D

Ganon ba talaga yon na hindi masyadong labas ang bass?

malamang nasa triode operation 'yung 6550 amp nuong na-try mo.  tatlo kasi operation modes nuong amp - triode, ultralinear & pentode.  'yung pentode, 'yun ang ang maganda ang dynamics at me slam.  :)

i liked the 6550 SE... it doesn't go as low and as loud as the similarly powered scott but that's how i like it late in the evening, when my speakers put out too much bass that i need to tone it down, otherwise the neighbors will petition my eviction... at moderate to slightly loud volume, the 6550 driving my ms902's can go toe-2-toe with my accuphase/ms908 in terms of sound quality... in fact sometimes i think its even beating it, and considering the price difference (20k+) i would say its slaughtering it... i'm not talking about quantity, but quality/musicality... it doesn't have the absolute bass extension of the accuphase/ms908 combo nor its capacity to go loud but it's "just right" for enjoying the kind of music (vocals/acoustic) i listen to at midnight.

and the scott... hmmm how should i describe it -- graceful & strong... bobby enriquez playing wild piano was EXPLOSIVE !!  the guys were listening at 3 o'clock volume using my ms908... with built-in phono and line stage, couldn't ask for more... whatever the source & speaker, i have yet to hear the scott sound less than magnificent... the epitome of what i want in an amp, full-featured yet priced just right, and sounds wonderful.

I guess so. Pero hanep talaga ang dating nung amp na yon. parang hiwahiwalay ang notes. parang sinuklay eh. Pagdating ko sa bahay binuksan ko agad system ko para marinig ko kung ano ang diprensya ng tunog. yung tunog sa akin parang dikit dikit eh...may mga nakabuhol pa yatang notes. ;D

thanks akyat!  :) makes me want to hold on to the scott, even more ;D ;D ;D.  

for AMX 6550 integrated amp at phasetron,  i have yet to try this using my b4s' and if it mates well, then, off i go to phasetron to have sir andrew make one based on my preferred specifications. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

plan ko nga magpa-customize ng preamp with phono stage and cd buffer hehehe.

hans, pwede kaya gawin separate ang power switch ng phono stage para pag CD or AUX ang source, yung line stage & buffer tubes lang ang gumagana?  pwede rin kaya lagyan ng bypass switch yung buffer para pwede rin gamitin yung line stage only?  lastly, pwede kaya gawin BYPASS/PRE-IN yung AUX para pag naka-HT ako di ko na kailangan turn on yung preamp diretso na ang signal sa power amp?  hehehe gulo no...  pagawa na lang kaya ng separate phono & buffer.

baka 6550 yung tube na ginamit  :) I wont get my hopes up that it will drive the b4s, yung push pull na el34s (if its still there) should drive the B4s, its similar to the amp of hans  8) btw what mode did you prefer the 6550 amp in? ultralinear, pentode or triode?

Bale naka ultralinear sya sir

the preamp available sa phasetron has a tubed phono stage already using a pair of 12ax7s i think, so all u need is an amp that is single ended using 2 el34s in parallel per channel, 12ax7s as the drivers and have it tube rectified. kaw na bahala magnegotiate ke andrew hehe 8)

onga pala, is it better to put the phono stage & line stage in a separate preamp?

in that case the power amp will just contain the driver tubes, rectifer and output tubes.

now i can't decide if i should get a 6550 SE, 6550 PSE, KT88 PP, EL34 PP or EL34 PSE.

it depends on the design and parts cost.not using botique parts will reduce cost, but assuming the design of the circuit is good then it will still sound good. Personally if the amp uses reliable but not necessarily botique parts its no problem.

Post by: arnoldc on Mar 08, 2004 at 10:20 AM
folks,

in Class A operation, the tube conducts throughout the duration of the signal, and the entire signal is reproduced up to the output. this is also the most LINEAR. the primary disadvantage of a Class A amplifier is that it is inherently inefficient, and the tube is conducting all the time. Class A can be one tube, or more than one. when one tube is used, it is called "Single-Ended Class A"

when people started to seek for more power because of advertising (the numbers game), companies had to use another Class of operation, leading to Class AB.

in Class AB operation, the  tube conducts more than half, but less than half the input cycle. this is used in situation where more power is needed and faithful reproduction of the input IS NOT the primary requirement. since the tube conducts at ~ half input cycle, another tube needs to conduct for the other half,  hence two tubes are required, hence PUSH-PULL is mandatory for Class AB.

the key point in Class AB, is that each tube works on MORE than half of the signal. in contrast, in a Class B mode of operation each tube works on exactly half the signal. and in Class C, each tube works on LESS than half the signal, and is of little use for hi-fi audio design.

Class AB1 or AB2 is only applicable to tube amplifiers. AB1 means the tubes DOES NOT draw grid current, and AB2 means the tubes DOES draw grid current.

so, if you like faithful reproduction of the music, nothing and NOTHING, beats Class A - at the price of inefficiency.

if you're after more POWER and faithful reproduction is something you cannot discern or you don't care about, then Class AB is for you.

matter of factly, most of you go for power.

me, i have chosen my road. Class A and Single Ended Triodes.

cheers.

ps.

hans,

i realized my post might be too technical.

Class A does faithful reproduction of the music, while Class AB does not.

Class A is inherently inefficient, and low powered, Class AB is more efficient (not the most efficient though) and has more power.

Only you can make a decision which road to take. Power or faithful reproduction? Your call.

Sir,


Does it mean if i use a not so good CDP/TT (or even a so-so record) on a Class AB, the resulting musical quality could be better compared when i used the same front end/record to a Class A amp?

The efficiency is all about power lang di ba?

thanks for your posts, they are really very informative. :) :)

vrion,

if you have a so-so source, you will have so-so output regardless of the topology. but, i would say that more of the so-so-ness will be revealed by the Class A amps.

in short, bad source = bad output.

however, a good source on a Class AB might have less detail, some may not be audible (extremely good circuit) but will be measureable when compared to a Class A circuit. do we hear measurements? some people actually do. you might.

i suggest you go make a comparison, let's say a 2A3 amp (naturally revealing) and any push pull amp. forget the POWER for the meantime, and don't use monitor audio speakers. they're not good for tubes, because their impedance over the frequency range is wild. i'll choose  Spendor S3/5 as a reference.

Maybe Andrew over simplified, but what you posted is not entirely the whole story, as i have previously posted. in addition, the "division" you mentioned is technically known as phase-splitting. there are many differences in phase splitter designs. Phase splitting is mandatory in Class AB.

Arnoldc,
Unfortunately most of us are stuck with moderately sensitive speakers with minimal impedances of about 3-4. I think its already a given that SET yields the best sound but if we match a low powered SET with power hungry speakers, wouldn't the result be worse than pairing the same speakers with tube PP design, (assuming the PP can cope better with the speaker's requirements than the SET)?

i'm just assuming 2 EL34 tubes per channel would cost about the same as a single 6550 tube per channel, which is as much as i could spend on an amp right now... can't say i could completely disregard my speaker, i already spent for it so might as well consider it's power requirements when choosing the amp... hmmm if only master andrew has an EL34 PP on display we could easily compare it.

6550 SE it is!  ;D
the 6550 has a maximum plate dissipation of 35 watts, and in Class A (single ended) that means, with a theoretical maximum of 50% efficiency, you will get 17.5 watts with more than 15% total harmonic distortion.

the 6550-A has a maximum plate dissipation of 42 watts and can yield, in Class A (again, single ended) 12.5 watts at 7% total harmonic distortion or about 20 watts at 13.5% total harmonic distortion. of course, if you like less distortion, you have to go lower wattage.

a typical Class A operation is generally accepted (debatable) to be 25% of plate dissipation, to get acceptable (highly subjective) distortion figures, in single-ended terms.

i thought you ought to know, and for the benefit of the others too.

i apologize if this is not of help to you.

the cone will not even move  ;D

that is expected, if you tell me it sings, i won't believe it.  i had the 52 partnered with a Yamaha with all its 100++ power and the sound was lifeless and boring to me. oh yes, it took me over 20 seconds to give the Yamaha a chance.

that same 2A3 amplifier, which i also own, sings with an 89dB Infinity Kappa 200, 88dB JBL Ti2K, 90dB JBL LX2002, and 84dB Spendor S3/5.

as i said, many times, it is about matching. SET requires high efficiency speakers, with stable impedance load. impedance load coming off more important, than high efficiency, but both are mandatory for SET. so obviously, i'm also not done as far as speakers are concerned. but i do have a good compromise. matching.

FWIW, the Audience 52 SE has an impedance of 3.4 ohms - 19.3 ohms from 20Hz to 200Hz, and 3.4 ohms to 6.7 ohms from 200 Hz to 20 kHz.

yikes, those THD figures are kinda scary... how about other tubes like EL34, KT88, 2A3 and 300B, do they also exhibit THD like those?  or is it that in the tube world different standards exist, so THD doesn't have to have so many zeroes (like 0.005%)... jolida is claiming less than 1% distortion on their class AB amps... very interesting, i wonder what tube will give the best compromise between sound quality & power in a single-ended circuit... any suggestions?  i read that kt90's can be a replacement for 6550's if you desire more power.

if you push them, yes. for example, an EL34 in Class A single-ended PENTODE pushed to 8 watts will have 10% total harmonic distortion for. in single-ended TRIODE configuration around 6 watts with 8% total harmonic distortion.
Quote
or is it that in the tube world different standards exist, so THD doesn't have to have so many zeroes (like 0.005%)...
since tubes handle distortion better than solid state, yes there are different "personal" standards.
Quote
jolida is claiming less than 1% distortion on their class AB amps... very interesting,
when done right, yes. for example, a KT88 in Class AB1 push-pull triode strapped can give you something like 17 watts at 1.5% total harmonic distortion. a good EL34 design can achieve around 25-30 watts in Class AB1 ultralinear push-pull with about 0.8 - 1.5% total harmonic distortion.

just don't push the tube to its limit, and you can get very decent THD figures. because any tube, when pushed hard will have high THD.

thanks sir arnoldc, i think the THD figures probably won't matter too much with my current setup & listening requirements... i compared geko's 6550 SE to my accuphase amp which has "guaranteed" 0.02% THD from 0.25W to 130W, and they sort of come out equal as far as detail & resolution as long as i don't push the volume past 2 o'clock... i suspect my source is the weak link (universal DVD/CD/SACD player), since i've heard better cd playback on other players.

Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: akyatbundok on Mar 09, 2004 at 12:24 PM
ah ok thanks!

so eto natutunan ko so far:

- best sound fidelity can be achieved in a single-ended circuit used below the clipping point.

- but the tradeoff is you need tube-friendly speakers which have a stable impedance, not necessarily high sensitivity.

- if your speaker isn't that, either change the speaker or change the amp... if you choose the latter, you will need higher power output, which can be achieved with parrallel single-ended or push-pull, with a little compromise in fidelity.

- you may or may not notice the compromise in fidelity.

question: how will we know if a speaker is tube-friendly?  is there a test track that we can use, say a frequency sweep, to check if our speaker can be driven by the amp?

this issue is only magnified when using SET. you can look at the manufacturer's impedance across the frequency range, but not all manufacturers publish them (for example, my Infinity Kappa does not have any, i was just lucky).

I think this SPEAKER TIPS for NON-AUDIOPHILES (http://www.decware.com/paper10.htm) article would be helpful.

Pentodes, Triodes & "Fake" triodes (http://www.decware.com/paper16.htm) is a good read to find out why an EL34 is better than other Pentodes.

And finally, Suggested speakers (http://www.decware.com/zenspeakers.htm) for low power triodes.

wow... i never knew that the fabled zen triode amp used el84 tubes, and now they have a el34 version... come to think of it, just last month i didn't know the difference between a 2A3 to a 300B, a 6550 to a KT88, and a el34 to a el84... well, i probably still dont, except that they have different cost & wattage, and that interestingly cost & wattage aren't proportional.

the schematics of the SE84B and SE84C are available for download... anybody tried yet?  the site claims it's stable to 2 ohm loads, can it be that it may not be too picky with speakers.

akyatbundok,

do you want to make one? you have 5K to spare? of course this is a prototype.

kung saan ka masaya, kung saan ka satisfied, duon ka.

i presented these things para at least alam nyo. may nag sabi kasi sa akin noon na parang niloko sya with regards to tubes. maraming di sya alam, binenta lang sa kanya, binili naman nya.

after this, informed decision man o hindi ang gawin nyo, at least sinabi ko sa inyo. para walang lihim regarding tubes.

thank you and looking forward to generous advises like this one.  

btw, on el84 amp (zen) - isn't that too much effort for little accomplishment (in terms of matching flexibility)? but as they say, the first watt matters most.

akyatbundok,

do you want to make one? you have 5K to spare? of course this is a prototype.

really?!  a zen clone for 5k?!  hehe... isip isip... sir arnoldc, will i be able to know if the estimated 4-5watts can drive my speakers?  more options is making me more confused but as a first ever tube amp i'm now leaning towards the more affordable single-ended... hmmm i didn't notice, are the schematics just for the prototype only.

guys kelan ba natin makikita the much awaited kt88 pp?
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: arnoldc on Mar 09, 2004 at 04:44 PM
akyatbundok, no the schematics are not for prototype, but the 5K budget is for prototype :) of course when you go for a real chassis it would jack up the price. a Hammond chassis will already cost you around 2K additional.

the offer is for you to be able to appreciate how a tube circuit works, the fun and fulfillment of making your own based on a proven design not for commercial intent.

if you'll be attending the tube 101 session, we can iron this out.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: john5479 on Mar 09, 2004 at 05:06 PM
I'm also keen on building the zen amp, starting with the basic circuit and if it sounds good, might opt to do the tweaks i've read. sir arnoldc you have the parts available or parts list? thanks!
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: arnoldc on Mar 09, 2004 at 05:25 PM
akyatbundok, sorry. EL84 nga pala yung Zen, hindi EL34.

john, all parts can be readily purchased locally.

let me issue a disclaimer: this amp will do 2W at most (in triode-strapped mode).

arapaap, yes. hence, the disclaimer. :)

in all fairness to this thread, i think we should open up a new one like the gainclone thread. but please, don't call it a zenclone :) make it more generic, like "building a tube amp" or something like that. baka mas ok kung sa wiredstate na lang buksan, mas appropriate.
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: john5479 on Mar 10, 2004 at 10:07 AM
thanks for the schema sir arnoldc.

I'm still waiting for my amp to be finished, after that with some time in my hand i might try out this design as my first diy amp. Is it possible to adapt this design using 2 el84s in parallel per channel and tube rectified?

*sigh* malapit na ang 15 target date na matatapos yung monoblocks ko, buhatan at puyatan na naman ito hehe ;D

different Scott amps uses different power tube, El84 is just one of them. My Scott 299D uses 7591

I think 222 and the 299A uses El84

**********

I think that particular amp was about 25K...sa Single Ended pentode with 6550 ka na lang   16K lang

kasi yung   1 pair of El84 per side would maybe give about 15 Watts per channel  with the wind in it sails

yep, 222 uses el84/6bq5 and 7189 but the 7189s' use higher plate voltage than the later (correct me if i'm wrong).  from what i read, 7189's can be used if the amp orginally takes el84s but if its the other way around, tendency is the tubes will burnout faster since the el84 have lower plate voltages.  ::)

25k pala ang pricing nung el84??  i thought kasi since yung pricing ng push-pull kt88 (P3k/ea) w/c also has 4 output tubes is 25k already, and assuming smaller trannies and cheaper el84 (P800/ea) tubes, the el84-based amp would be at least 9k cheaper... di pala  :o

Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: kimpao on Mar 22, 2004 at 05:02 PM
agree with john5479. NOS el84 Philips Miniwatts, 6bq5 Telefunkens Smooth Plates, Amperex "Bugl Boy" 6bq5. At their price range for a matched quad, 2 to 3k difference from the amp itself :'( :'(. this is one of the reasons why am having a hard time whether should i already change the el84 of my scott or should i be going for  new amp and purchase newer production el84 at a cheaper price then sell my scott. ??? ???
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: akyatbundok on Mar 22, 2004 at 06:16 PM
qguy, thanks for the pricing info pre... i agree on auditioning at the store, everything's different so its really not possible to tell the difference with a scott, w/c is the sound i'm aiming for btw.

john/kimpao, guys does this mean the non-NOS el84's aren't that good?  for the price i mean, as a low-cost first time attempt at a tube amp.

uuuuyy matutuwa si kuya hans sa iniisip mo  ;)

uuuuyy matutuwa si kuya hans sa iniisip mo  ;)

generally speaking,  sound may be very much subjective as we all have different tastes.  non-NOS tubes are a cheaper way to go around as NOS tube are really hard to find these days plus the fact that they will cost you a fortune. as john  was saying svets el84 are also good but not as sweet sounding as teles, philips, mullard or amperex but they do perform somehow up to par with nos. The problem is this, i myself got used to hearing my scott using el84 philips miniwatts (nos, which is currently being used by my amp, akyat problem niyo rin yan ni hans dahil nasanay kayo na marinig yung scott ko, pero nos yung gamit ko dun sa output, which is ayun yung hinahabol niyo na sound), was able to try svets and eh el84s but then i was comparing them to the philips, the both somehow sounded similar to the philips. But if you listen long enough only then you'll be hearing what was missing with the current production tubes.

The combo of the amx preamp and monoblocks resulted in a clean sound that follows the characteristic of whatever speaker is connected to it. These are initial impressions as the two are just being broken in.  8)

















Ang masasabi ko lang sa magpapatugtog ng album ng metallica s&m...dapat mabilis ang woofers nyo hehe ;)

2 12 ax7s (ge?) for the phonostage
1 5u4g (sylvania) tube rectifier.

Lahat andyan na, pwede ring additional christmas decor yan sa christmas tree sa dami ng tubo.  Was able to listen to it at hans' place yesterday, also gave him a pair of DIY magnet wire IC.  Wowwwwweeewoooh, pala yan kung tumunog. Mas malinis tumunog, was able to tame highs espeially on b. staunton and corrine may track. mids mas inangat niya, para ka tuloy naka-hdcd na source.

sir hans, bili na kasi ng hdcd na cd player. ;D ;D ;D ;D

tube guys,  :D
medyo off topic: question lang po. is 2-ch stereo setup also good in HT? based from other threads, 2-ch stereo setup work very well in audio; i just dunno how well it perform in HT. kasi kung maganda sa HT ang stereo setup, then i might as well invest sa 2-ch stereo compared 5.1-ch HT setup. at least 2 front speaker lang  :D

i've read at some thread, there's this guy who invested so much on HT only to sell eveything and setup a 2-ch stereo (was that iceman?).
 
TIA  ;D

Guys,

Hirap pala ng may bagong gear di ka makatulog tapos lahat ata ng cd di natatapos... hay... panalo yun todo preamp..  ;D ;D

Isak,

Sir thanks for the hospitality yesterday.. dahil sa iyo.. napa-ahhhhh ako sa preamp and EL34 ko hehehe sa ganda ng listening room mo lumabas ang tunay na sound.. especially nun nag 30watts tayo ( kasi yun el34 amp ko pwede gawin lowered watts by just pulling out the tube ).. 8) 8)
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: akyatbundok on Mar 31, 2004 at 11:40 AM
kuha ko na kanina yun sakin  ;D ;D ;D ;D

may poging amp na katabi, kasing laki lang nung preamp kaya parang kambal... "David 2" ang naka-print sa harap... parang gets ko na kung bakit "David" and tawag niya sa amp na yun... ang liit eh pero hindi maliit tumunog... single-ended na el34.

yung preamp ko naman pre may kaibahan ng konti:
- 5AR4 rectifier tube
- matsushi ta tubes instead of hitachi
- phono tubes are in the middle

ako yung junior dahil kalahati lang yun laki ng rectifier ko hehehehe...  ;)

Sound will still improve if you can use Mullard GZ34 rectifier tube. I have one that i'm currently using on my ST70....  :) :) :)

Let me know if you want to tube roll and i can loan it to you....

Cheers!!!!

akyat

spot the difference, sansui ba yung papa premyo mo? eto sagot.

B2
a.)your amp uses 5ar4 rectifier tube
b.) amx name plate is on transformer cover
c.) yung tube covers mo nasa cd buffer
d.) mas maganda yung kuha mo ng pics sa pre-amp mo ;D ;D

B1
a.) hans pre-amp uses 5u4g rectifier tube
b.) amx name plate is on lower right-hand corner of pre-amp chassis
c.) yung tube covers nasa phono stage
d.) naka-telefunken na yung cd buffer ng pre-amp ni hans (since last sunday) ;D ;D ;D ;D


o, eh di, kukunin ko na mamaya yung premyo kong sansui amp. :o ;D ;D ;D ;D joke only, sir! peace tayoooooo!!!!! ;D
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: akyatbundok on Apr 01, 2004 at 12:11 PM
galing ahh!!  tama lahat except yun c).. yung phono stage ko nasa gitna kaya nandun yung tube cover hehehe... bakit nga ba ganun?  para balanse tumunog yata hehehe... tsaka hindi pala malinaw sa pic yung brand ng tubes na ginamit sakin all-matsush1ta pero yung kay hans naman ay all-hitachi... may reason kaya si boss andrew sa mga differences na yan o gusto lang niya ma-try yung iba-ibang config para sa 3rd version eh mas lalong patok?

hans, ano binabalak mo sa hitachi tubes pahiram naman para ma-compare hehee  ;D ;) 8)
mas okey ba i-upgrade yung buffer tube kaysa line stage?
Title: Re:AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: kimpao on Apr 01, 2004 at 12:16 PM
akyat, palitan mo ng mullard 5ar4 yung rectifier ;D tapos yung 12au7 ng tono mo ilagay mo run sa cd buffer ng con todo (ang alam ko 12au7 ang ginamit as cd buffer). :)

arapaap, better if u go there to ask andrew himself... he's usually there around 7:30pm onwards... hindi alam ng mga tao niya ang price ng mga gears (except yung may tatak na price hehe)... ayaw pa yata magbitaw ni sir andrew ng pricing dahil nagbago cost ng parts.

performance of the phono stage is very good... i haven't compared it directly yet with others coz i'm still breaking in, but when we listened to it with john's monoblocks i thought it was really good playing a 70's album i have... i haven't heard that many phono stages so i may not know what i'm talking about hehehe.  ;)

driver - NOS sylvania 7199  /  RCA 7199 black plates ;D ;D

dynamic, still maintains "airy mids" especially when using rca black plates. what i really like about it is that even though at 35 watts it has a dynamic sound yet it has the tube sound and finesse and composure. O0

Output Tube = NOS Sylvania (Big Bottle)
Rectifier = Mullard GZ34
Driver = NOS Sylvania & Sovtek / RCA Black Plates





yup 2 sets for tube rolling. btw, the sovteks i got were big bottles also.  might  buy  match quads of "siemens el-34" after i get have the transformer covers chromed and the rca jacks replaced this week.

hans,

di naman siguro, pero inggit talaga ako sa preamp niyo. ang linis tapos tahimik pa. :-*

Sirs,

Question lang po, if you don't mind.

How does the AMX amps/pre-amps compare to the branded ones (i.e. dynaco, scott, etc.) in-terms of sound and built. I got confused with the thread...  ;D when I heard them, it sounded like a tube amp (timid and a bit layed back, at leadt IMHO). But as a whole?

Thanks! :D
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: H a n $ on Apr 13, 2004 at 06:00 PM
caohyde,

Amx preamp and power amp have there respective signature sound it have dynamics, depth, imaging, soundstage and sweetness you'll love.... its a matter of taste na lang and budget you can afford..  :D :D but comparing it with dynaco and scott mmh mahirap magsabi kung alin ang pangit sa kanila..

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sir caohyde,

nice to have lahat kaso you can only get one or two (if budget permits get everything ;D), dahil dalawa palang ang amp di ka na magkandatuto kung sino ang pakikinggan. each amp has it's own signature sound. does'nt necessarily mean that all amx models sound the same. each model has a distinct sound to it as this is also applicable to those branded tube amps. actually, as everyone knows,  palitan mo nga lang yung tubes ng ibang brand dun sa amp, nagbabago tunog ;D.  we've even tested akyat's con toDo preamp with exotic NOS tubes, all i can say, WOW :o :o inggit ako sa preamp nila!

Hi,

Anybody who can offer for an audition of their AMX Tube Amp? I am planning to buy one either KT88 or 300B Based Amp. My preference is a power Amp since I have already my Tube pre-amp.

I will be using it with my Klipsch RB-3 speakers.  Anybody can help me with this? I need to decide from the above tube amps. If you have any scheduled listening sessions located near Makati area kindly include me if can possibly join and also to meet my fellow  PinoyDVD members.

Chances are if somebody want to invite me: 0916-2170992 ;)

Same thing I did when I borrowed geko's tono, I set the volume of the preamp at 12'o clock and then just adjust the gain controls on the monoblocks, less distortion, YMMV though.

I will be using it with my Klipsch RB-3 speakers.  Anybody can help me with this?

pareho tayo ng speakers, sir.  i match my RB-3 with my low powered 6v6-based AMX Blanca SE amp (3wpc in triode/4wpc in ultralinear mode).  the volume pot at 10-11nn, my setup could already fill my room with sweet knee-weakening music.   

KT-88 & 300B... hmmm...  magkaiba ang musical qualities nitong dalawa, sir.  i suggest you audition them both & see which you would like.  meron pa 'atang KT-88 at 300B sa Phasetron. 

kung watts ang habol mo, you could definitely get more watts with a KT-88 amp than with a 300B amp for the same amount of money.   halos doble 'ata ang presyo ng KT-88 sa 300B, eh...

hth.   :)

self-biasing kasi 'yung amp mo...  ganyan din 'yung david 1 until the last tweak.  ngayon...  pagnagpalit ako ng tube, kelangan din i-adjust 'yung bias.

as for KT-88 or 6550...  hmmm...  personally, sa Valve Art 6550.  sweetness of el34 & ooomph of KT-88.   :)

Hi,

Anybody who can offer for an audition of their AMX Tube Amp? I am planning to buy one either KT88 or 300B Based Amp. My preference is a power Amp since I have already my Tube pre-amp.

I will be using it with my Klipsch RB-3 speakers.  Anybody can help me with this? I need to decide from the above tube amps. If you have any scheduled listening sessions located near Makati area kindly include me if can possibly join and also to meet my fellow  PinoyDVD members.

Chances are if somebody want to invite me: 0916-2170992 ;)

odyopayl
More power to PDVD and Audiophile HT lovers

Sir if you have a smallish room i would go with the 300B, lalo na if you like instrumentals.  O0

guys,

Question on Preamp and Power amp.. san mas maganda mag base ng volume if you power have also a passive volume control? someone told me he just put his preamp to 12'oclock tapos sa power amp na sya nagvolume.. meron naman just turn your power amp to full then sa preamp na adjust.  ::) ::)

i would set amp to max and control volume with the pre-amp.

my logic:
- knob on amp is passive, hence it is a gain limiter
- knob on preamp adds gain to the signal
- piga mo yung bigay ng preamp ng hindi nalilimit ng amp  ;)

Thanks pre what also thinking the same way.. kung di ko todo yun volume sa power amp eh sakal yun.

Hey dudes,


Is there any manufacturer or distributor of tube amps here in the Philippines?

We would like to test somewhere in June or July the new Klipsch Reference on it vs. Klipsch with a Solid State amps...para kung meron prefer ang tube can listen to it or those who would settle for Solid State can also have a say...

Hope there would be a response to this

Gave andrew the layout i wanted for the tubes ala st70, he said no problem with the layout he can do it but discouraged me for safety reasons coz the output tubes of one of each channel is upfront and can burn hands accidentally.  I also asked if i can use rca5U4G as my rectifier, according to him it might not be able to handle 4 kt88s and 4 6550s coz power amps are demanding.  He mentioned that using rca5U4G with preamp is ok coz the power demand is minimal.  He suggested sylvania5U4GB pero scarce na rin daw ito and his last one was used in your preamp.

After mentioning to me the pros and cons he said in the end "it is still my decision".

oo nga.  i remember the article.  andrew tried to explain to me what he did.  unfortunately, nagkaroon ako ng info overload... (1MB lang dala kong memory kahapon  :().  all i remember is that the circuit uses the power tubes as some sort of afterburners.   

tanong n'yo na lang...  tapos share n'yo dito.   ayoko maglalabas muna kasi laganap na naman ang SARS, eh.  ;)

super triode circuit: http://www.plitron.com/PDF/PB/Article/Atcl_4.pdf

eto sabi niya about the super triode:

With the Super-Triode circuit, I am listening to a new generation of pushpull tube amplification. The details and spaciousness are extremely clean, quick, open, and well controlled, and all is heard in a detailed and large soundstage, where you clearly can hear a pin drop. The bass control is extremely tight and powerful.  Measurements showed very low harmonic and intermodulation distortions. This, combined with the larger damping factor (DF = 2.5 with SV6550C at 75mA), explains the clean sound quality perceived. Try it; you will also be amazed.

this seems to be different from the japanese "super triode connection" coz at the end of the article it says the "super triode" is registered under the dutch (?) author.

yun na nga ba ang super triode amp ni sir andrew?  yung may wood & aluminum casing?  parang matagal ko na nakita ang amp na yun, balak ko nga bilihin yun nung may pera pa ako, kaso naka-hook noon sa celestion speaker na 86db.

pero last friday sinubukan namin sa Alon, Corral at AAudio speakers... oks na oks din pala ang tunog, malinis... meron unmarked toggle switch, pag ON biglang lumalakas ang gain at tumataba ang bass, kaya yata ang tawag nila dun ay "loudness" switch... i bet yung switch na yun ay pang toggle between Triode & Super Triode.

Hello sirs,

Mas bago nanaman ba itong 12watt super triode kaysa 10watt "David version 2" ? Ano po ang difference between the two?

Thanks :D
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp

the david2 is single ended wired in pentode mode and uses el34s as the power tubes
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: akyatbundok on May 03, 2004 at 03:55 PM
parang mas detailed yung highs nung SE KT88 kaysa David2... pero for 12k tunog tubo na rin ang David2.

actually ang linis at ang detalyado nuong SE KT88 na naka-super triode.  mapa-highs, mids or bass man.

Post by: john5479 on May 03, 2004 at 06:32 PM
yup, very clean, and bass was tight, some might mistake it as no bass since its not boomy. can't wait to try this kind of amp with 95 db++ speakers O0

ay naku sir maraming salamat for the kind words, its a lot to live up to...  sige i'll post my review after 2 weeks pakinggan ko muna araw-araw... actually overnight naka-ON ito dahil sa habit kong tulugan ang audio setup sa bedroom... initial impression ko nga sa physical dimensions ay malaki itong amp for a single-ended design, at tama nga yung previous owner -- oversized yung transformers at maluwag pa yung layout, parang pwede pa i-upgrade to push-pull... o baka lang dahil sa wood panels kaya mukhang malaki?  ;D ;D

una kong pinatugtog ay yung beverly staunton na pang sukat ko ng tube sounding vocals.... ay salamas, buti may pagkatunog-tubo... onga naman tube amp ito eh dapat lang hehe.

Congrats ulit PANALO yan AMX 8 watts SET amp mo!! BEST BUY!! 8) 8)


Love the naturalness of your amp the crisp clear high,  mids (vocals ) na expected sa mga SET amp andun lalo na when you hook it up sa TODO preamp galing maganda ito sa critical listening.. napa-bilib ako talaga driving your MS 908 with gusto!! with no sign na hirap yun amp music plays with easy pa rin open na open.. i suggest play with some IC cable magugulat ka sa result.. wider and more depth soundstage.

Hi Akyat,

Baka pwedeng review at pictures.

Thanks.

amx el34 super triode

(http://203.131.66.146:8080/amx27.jpg)

this is the amp, but in the pic i made a foolish newbie mistake of replacing the sexy-bottle RCA 5u4g rectifier tube with a 5ar4.... good thing i was properly warned.  :-X

the sound is quite amazing, esp. for the price... i'm no tube expert, i've only used ss amps in the past (i've had 11)... with ears accustomed to ss sound, my initial impression was softer treble and fuller vocals... at first i thought the treble was rolled off, but later i realized i wasn't losing any detail, in fact... hmmm... the background instruments seem to be coming from deeper or farther into the wall but they are still distinct... somehow i was expecting this about a single-ended tube amp -- lots of detail and musical at the same time.

the power handling was a surprise... maybe its the oversize trafos or the super triode connection but the amp can drive my MS-908's like a higher powered push-pull amp... even some ss amps have trouble driving the 10" woofers, but i didn't lose the tight bottom end when playing a little above my comfort zone... i did get to its limit though, as i have with some ss amps.

oissst, para kayong maglalako ha.... magkano po ba yang lumpia... este... tube niyo?

para hindi tayo OT... the reason i wanted to try other 12au7 tubes is...  i did an A/B comparison with or without my amx preamp by using the 2 line outs of my CD player (as usual)... the preamp seems to clear things up in the midrange & upwards by rolling off the low bass... i didn't notice this before because i was playing acoustic & vocals tracks with no low bass, but when i tried nels76's bass CD i was surprised the low bass wasn't there... at first i thought the super triode amp couldn't deliver the low bass but when i switched to straight wire from CD player to amp, the low bass was there so yes folks the amp can certainly deliver it... so i figured this must be the sound character of my matsush1ta tubes?... or is it my interconnects?... i'm using cheap audio cables from my old car... not that i don't like this kind of sound, i actually like it for acoustic tracks because the sound clears up a good deal.

Kumusta ang shootout:) oops... PROS and CONS na lang of the above.

amx preamp
the guys all but removed my stock tubes and placed a telefunken for the cd buffer, telefunken again for the phono stage, and rca cleartops for the linestage..... waaaaahh!  it's not my preamp anymore.

PROS: nice features, nice looks... detailed & dynamic when fitted w/ the right tube combination (rca & tele)... the CD buffer is optional, you can bypass it by hooking up thru the AUX input... 2 pre-outs allow bi-amping or hooking up a sub.

CONS: stock matsus1ta tubes are crystal clear but roll off the bass... they're not burned in yet so this could still change... hans had hitachi tubes w/c i think are better balanced... the chassis gets hot because it is used as heatsink for the regulator, but its no big deal... nice thing about these cons, you can avoid all of it by telling andrew what you want.

amx el34
isak brought mullards to replace the stock ei driver tubes..... waaaaahh!  it's not my amp anymore..... the amp sounds very different with different tubes..... when isak left we tried jj tesla and telefunken (thanks to kimpao), and we settled for the tele coz it matched better.

PROS: clear & musical when heard at moderate volume... not too fast, not too slow... relatively inexpensive.

CONS: 8 watts... requires speaker matching like most single-ended... pumiyok kay enya.  :-X

one thing i noticed about single-ended amps... they can actually drive most speakers as long as you don't play them loud... when you do play them relatively loud, they become choosy with the tracks you play... jazz band is easier to play than an orchestra.

pre yun pinagusapan natin pwede kaya?

palagyan ko ng toggle switch -- pag naka stereo mode as-is lang.... kapag switch ko to mono, magiging push-pull (or parallel single-ended) na monoblock para mag-double ang wattage.

tapos pagawa pa ako ng isa.

What about the rectifier? What it means if it is tube rectified or ss rectified? How it affect the sounds of an amp? Thanks.  :-X
Tube rectifiers are still used in power supplies of some guitar amps, because the current a tube rectifier can produce varies somewhat with the load. It is quite different in response from a solid-state rectifier. Many audiophiles also prefer this classic design for much the same reasons. Also, inexpensive solid-state rectifiers can put "hash" into a power supply, because of their slow transient capability while charging and recharging a filter capacitor 50/60 times a second. Special high-speed silicon rectifiers are available at high cost. They are rarely used in products other than a few high-end amplifiers. Tube rectifiers have faster transient response than most solid-state rectifiers, also making them useful in some high-end designs.

Lance,

My advice to you is to listen to both solid state and tubed rectified gears. Then you decide. Remember, what is good sounding to me may be trash for you or vice versa.

Kaya sama ka na sa next session!  ;D

PS. wag ka maniwala dyan kay Hans, nanghahawa lang yan eh.  :P

Initial impressions of the new el-34 amp from phasetron:

Speakers used were Anthony's signature series and source was a denon cd player.

The combination had a lush midrange, bass was tight and I found it adequate considering the speakers were bookshelves. according to the people there its a push pull amp running in pentode mode giving out 25w per channel. At 10' o clock volume it was rockin and no signs of distortion or looseness in the bass, considering we were playing a rock track (forgot the artist sorry) it more than held its own..could use a little bit more dynamics though but maybe its because the amp wasn't warmed up enough or still at its breakin stage. Anyway I auditioned the amp for only 30 minutes so your mileage may vary...all I can say its worth the 23K, the chassis is nice and the sides have ventilation holes, and it doesn't hurt that the surface is chromed and it has a cool faceplate. Considering the aesthetics and the actual sound, you'll get one of the best bang for buck deals around with this amp. O0

nahhh hehe ;D ;D  i just saw it in tony's shop yesterday when i passed by with a couple of friends... they were gonna have their amps tweaked, and i was gonna give him the sockets for our amp project... i wonder who comissioned him to make those trannies, they're huge... i figure one of those freshly painted ones would make a good power supply, they're bigger than the one in the new push-pull amp.

i'm currently breaking in the preamp, together with the gainclone.....mamaya na sa monoblocks, ganda ng tunog e ;D

This preamp currently uses hitachi 12 au7s for the linestage. mids are clear, its not really slow even though its tube rectified (5u4g) and has bass >:D it might be due to the gainclone but i'm keeping my hopes up..since i tried the gainclone first on its own before adding the preamp and the bass didn't change at all. I haven't tested the cd buffer section and the phono stage yet so I will leave that for later. right now soundtrip muna ko.

speakers used: marble speakers
source: teac c-1d (next project)
interconnects: diy magnet wire
cd's tested: enya and evanescence >:D

Post by: john5479 on May 27, 2004 at 08:23 AM
Initial impressions of the preamp hooked up with the kt88 monoblocks:

Pros: sweet sound, especially when the amp is set to triode mode, vocals sound great and has depth. wide soundstage and separation of instruments are apparent.

Cons: a tad less detailed than the gainclone, if dynamic songs are played, it does'nt have much oomph if amp is set to triode but improves once its set to ultralinear

agree, bro...although i'm not sure if the tube buffer will "improve" the sound from the source...i've had an experience with the X10-D...for some CDPs, instead of hearing an improvement, sound became muddy...may dadaanana pa kasing cables ulit eh...but of course, that's me...but if you're going to use very good tubes (like mullards), then probably the result would be different...i only used the stock tubes...

let's see...kelan daw target date of completion??? :D

tama pre, natatandaan ko pa sa conversation namin ni hans with andrew, kahit isang tube lang na dual triode pwede na, so hindi ganun kamahal yung tweak.... sabi pa niya malaki din daw ang improvement kung papalitan yung power supply.... hindi ko lang natanong kung kaya niya i-upgrade yung clock.
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: s2kov on May 27, 2004 at 05:42 PM
Actually, ganun tlga yun either you use dual triodes (single tube) for each channel or use it for both channel. It is a matter of what gain and topology you will use. But for CDP tweaks single tube is enough.... :) :) :)

Regards to CD player tube output tweak mukhang mahirap yun according to Mr Andrew he experimented sa Pioneer cd player.. usually brands have diff circuitry so hindi ganun kadali.. :) :)

andrew has a new 3wpc super triode amp using tubes similar to el-84.  tamis ng tunog! 

it matches well with AA Audios phase array speakers (yung black na floorstanders  christened as "LYRA").  kayang-kaya i-drive!  imaging & soundstage is great!  bass?  meron din! 

ang ganda ng combi nitong dalawa.  as per andrew, the amp will cost less than PhP 10k when it goes into production.  'yung speakers naman, is in the vicinity of PhP 25K 'ata.         

punta na lang kayo d'on.  just listen to them yourselves.  you be the judge.   ;)

Guys,

Got news from Mr Andrew thru phone na he'll be releasing SET super triode amp next week... interchangeable yun tubes to 6550, EL34 & 807..  >:D >:D 8 watts to 12watts daw

just setting the record straight - the tubes mentioned are all PENTODE and can never, will never be single-ended triodes (SET) like a 2A3, 300B, 45, 50, 10Y - all of which are legitimate TRIODES.

you must be talking about a technique used in PENTODES to wire the screen grid to the plate which is called triode-strapping, and various other methods such as those published by Plitron and which claims to be an "invention".

cheers.

di rin nakatiis, dumaan pa rin hehehe ;D

Yep lets be clear on this one..the single ended amps coming up are not using triodes but pentodes (6550, kt88, el34, el84) so calling them SET's is not correct. do they sound like SET's? thats another story

hindi. the japanese article uses a method of inserting a real triode into the circuit with the hopes that it will influence the sound.

as i said before, forget about the topology, it's the sound that matters. i was just pointing out that a Pentode however you wire it will not sound like, and is definitely not, a Triode.
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: akyatbundok on May 28, 2004 at 06:44 PM

with only 2 tubes (what?! no rectifier/driver tubes??) the 3-watt EL84 can easily be mistaken for a preamp.

note: the price tag in the pic is for the subwoofer at the bottom (not seen).... i think this one will cost less than 10k (i hope)!!

(http://203.131.66.146:8080/amx41.jpg)

when the guys were hooking it up to drive the big Alon speakers i was thinking, oh no bad choice man that speaker is too big... the Alon speakers are massive mini-ref type speakers, you know the ones we fondly call floorstanding bookshelf?... kimpao was turning the volume pot ever so slowly until we started to hear some sound....

"sige ikot mo pa!".... ikot naman si kimps.

wow impressive sound, huh.... i said: "baka maganda yan kung iisa lang ang gitara", which prompted a switch to a more challenging CD/track.... tignan nga natin kung kaya ng low bass..... 2nd track of audiophile voices 1 has some low bass.... "sige ikot mo pa"...... wow, kayang-kaya maglabas ng low bass sa 12" woofer ng Alon..... seconds later it let out a medium-size F-a-R-R-R-T..... "dre, umutot si eva cassidy"...   :o ;D

hehehe.... distortion na pala..... just part of the fun.... di daw kaya magbuhat ng mabigat nauut00t!.... we took it to spectra and played it with the AE evo3, Wharf Pacific evo8 and a Klipsch bookshelf.... it sounds awesome for such a small amp --- very clear and detailed.... while playing the wharf (love this little speaker) i swear you could not tell which speaker was playing, you would think it was one of the 3 floorstanders.... of course we were only playing tracks with little to no bass, mostly acoustic & vocal tracks, at low volume.

when you turn it up louder, its limitations quicky become obvious, so it needs to be matched with super sensitive speakers.

Sir,

ang ganda rin tumunog nito, loved the "slam" when paired with the AE EVO3.  Was able to drive the AE nicely.  Paired with the pacific Evo 8, nice imaging, very big sound for such a small speaker.

Ang galing niya sa Pacific Evo 8 lalo na sa bass, pareho sila ng bass nung......nung............nung . Ahahaha!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D Joke Only!!!!!!! Kuya, Feeeeeeeeeeeesh tayoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

connection amp mo which make me think pwede kaya sa amp ko yun???  ::) ::)
even without break in I already notice the very very nice sound.. lalo na when we paired it
with the Pacific Evo8 imaging was superb.. the guys made a joke with my Evo30 hehehe
mas malakas daw bass ng Evo8?? hmmm don't think so Senyor ;D ;D

Akyat,

As for the 3watts Super triode Connection agree it may have elimitation (speaker ) but for a 3watts amp
that can drive a floorstander with first rate sound hmmmm iba ito!! mura with high end sound??  8) 8)
at least di sinisinok... utot lang ;D ;D

sana ok ang synergy ng el84 amp and the 5ft spkrs 8)

actually, ayus ang matching ng dalawa...  ;D

andrew has a new 3wpc super triode amp using tubes similar to el-84.  tamis ng tunog! 

it matches well with AA Audios phase array speakers (yung black na floorstanders  christened as "LYRA").  kayang-kaya i-drive!  imaging & soundstage is great!  bass?  meron din! 

ang ganda ng combi nitong dalawa.

if you're just gonna play vocals/easy listening music at low levels ok na yan but i would prefer my tube amp to be in the 10~15 watts area para paminsan minsan pwedeng lakasan...but thats just me.

Hi,
just want to share my experience w/ david 2 n nbili ko kanina. Warmed it up ng mga 15mins b4 playing. Nung una, parang his. Medyo muddy ang 2nog, kala ko magsisisi dahil nigive-up ko harman ko. Tried chesky cds, aba after around 30 mins, nagulat ako, lumabas na ung his at mids at ang bass bumabayo. Lupet ng soundstage, wide. Parang di galing s evo3 ung 2nog. Pano pa kaya kung may cd buffer. At 9 o'clock position palang ung volume knob, parang -25db n s harman 130. Sulit talaga to for its price.
El 34 pa lang, laglag n panga ko, pano p kya kung 300b.
Just join the tubes bandwagon and very glad that i did!

I think you can get it without the tubes, just talk to andrew about and you can work something out.

re amx 300b vs ws 300b... to those whove heard both amps, surely both must have something like a strong suit... both are good amps and its a subjective  answer, but then again, each amp must excel in a particular trait...the question is where?

i was lucky to have han's EL34 push-pull tube amp for a week when he swapped with my EL34 single-ended amp (just for 1 week), and i must admit that it made me consider having one custom-built for myself by andrew once i get the budget.... i'm thinking of getting one with a chassis like the famous actor's amx, but using the STC circuit like jetok's amx.... i liked the bass slam of jetok's amp.

the thing i like about the push-pull is that you can play it loud and still enjoy that musically detailed and non-fatiguing sound.... i can easily achieve that musical & detailed sound using my single-ended amp but that's for intimate/quiet listening in the evening.... but when i want to get aggresive during daytime, i find the push-pull more appealing.... this became more evident during the CDP shootout, where han's amp made a convincing statement for tubes in general.

kimpao, superman..... thanks for the tips.

i think the Ei 12ax7 tubes on my AMX EL34 amp might be nearing extinction since one of them lights up like a bulb whenever i turn on the amp, so i'm on the lookout for a replacement..... i've also read some tube reviews mostly for guitar amps, and you're right about the Teles...... nothing short of a Mullard would be probably sound better.

but for my budget (1.5k) i'm not sure if i can go Tele, unless i get a good package deal like when hans got his Tele+RCA for "only" 3k (?)..... i read some good reviews on the JJ/Tesla current production tubes and the JAN/Philips.... i think they are near my budget, any comments on these?

for the AMX preamp, i got an instant upgrade when i changed my rectifier tube from Matsushjta 5ar4 to RCA "sexy bottle" 5u4g..... hans was kind enough to lend me his stock Hitachi 12au7 and between his/john's Hitachi and my Matsushjta, i think the Hitachi was the better tube, so congrats to the new owner of john's preamp you already have the better tubes for the preamp.

andrew seems to be testing various combinations of budget tubes on the preamps.... john's version is slightly different from hans with the Sylvania 12ax7 phono tubes.... note: hans got all-hitachi tubes and i got all matsushjta tubes.

parang pinag expirementuhan pre amp nyong tatlo kung ano maganda don ka hehehehe ;D in result panalo yong huli kc tested na  :P

onga pre, kung sakali papagawa ng preamp, specify nyo na kung alin tube gagamitin, or better yet provide your own Tele or RCA blackplates para ma-tweak dun sa tube na gusto mo.  ;D

rectifier - rca 5u4g
linestage - hitachi
cd buffer - hitachi (or matsushjta)

gamit ko ngayon combination ng hitachi at matsushjta.... malinaw mids & highs ng matsu kaso rolled off ang low bass.... hitachi may bass kaya gusto yung combo.

Changing rectifier tube from 5AR4 to 5U4G will also change the operating point of the preamp. is the sonic quality improves?

yup it improved..... it was in one of the mini-sessions with hans & kimpao doing the tube rolling; i thought the rca sexy bottle sounded the best but it could be because it was the right tube to use..... i think the preamp's circuit was really designed for the 5u4g but they probably ran out of 5u4g's at the time so they used what was available.... just a hunch because hans & john's babies both use 5u4g.
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: s2kov on Jun 16, 2004 at 02:32 PM
Be careful from changing rectifier tube from 5U4G to 5AR4, coz the latter has a low voltage drop and if you're operating the preamp into high operating point, this might damage your driver tube.... :-[ :-[ :-[

Just a precaution.... :) :) :)

thanks for the warning bro.... does this mean a change from 5AR4 to 5U4G is safer than vice versa?

i'm curious why my stock tubes were different from hans' & john's.... but when i made it the same it actually got better, so i thought he probably used matsu instead of hitachi for the driver tubes coz he knows it can handle the higher operating point of the 5ar4 (?).... just speculating.

If you're using the same specs of power trafo and you're only one using 5AR4 tube. Andrew might give you a preamp operating on different operating point. I assume that operating the preamp using 5U4G gives you the sonic quality rather than running the preamp with higher B+..... Just remember, running the the tubes on higher B+, you're also running it on a near distortion....


nope, just mine..... but now we're all happily using 5u4g/5u4gb.

one thing that affect sound quality using both rectifier tube is the voltage drop of the tube.. i think mas malaki voltage drop nang 5U4G kaya medyo lumalambing or bumabagal rather than 5AR4.....

quoted from sir andrew:

"I use standard GZ34 Matsucrapa NOS in original box not in deceiving generic white boxes. I do not have RCA5U4G, and 5U4G will not be able to handle 4 6550's or KT88's. The ones I could find are mostly used with very little juice left in them, and power amps are demanding.
I do like to take my chances. Preamps will be no problem for this used tubes, the power demand is minimal, even 10% power only is left of the rectifier tube it  will still be fine.  Sylvania 5U4GB is OK also and can be purchased in JAN boxes, pero lately could not find any. Last one I had , I have used in the preamp of Henry."

thanks for the quote "push-pull master" jetok. ;)

parang ganun din ang narinig kong advice kay sir tony aka joan2, pagdating sa mga preamps mas forgiving bcoz of low power requirements so no worries tatagal daw kahit medyo piga ng konti.... but tube amps are a different ballgame.

kaya pala, naubusan ng 5u4g si sir andrew.... masaya naman ako i have an extra matsu 5AR4 tamang-tama sa next project ko na push-pull hehe.  ;D

bradir s2kov, ano yan dropping resistor, para ma-lower ang B+ so paparehas na sa 5u4g?

Exactly, you don't need to replace 5AR4 tube just determine your load current to compute for dropping resistor.

5U4G = 5AR4 + Dropping Resistor

Voila, you will have the same operating point as John/Hans preamp.... ;) ;) ;)

sonic quality changes but it does not warrant improvement. because of the changes in the operating point, either hihina or lalakas kuryente. dont play around with this without expert advice, kasi other parts of the amp may be damaged. >:D

be sure to roll tubes that are within the specifications of your amp. >:D


if you cant resist tube rolling, the best candidate would be the driver tubes. youll notice big difference, if not improvement, in the sonic performance.

the least candidate would be the rectifier tube.

sir arnoldc may have something to say about this topic.

caveat: i may be wrong  :P
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: s2kov on Jun 17, 2004 at 11:16 AM
Juls,

As long as you know the limits and specs of your tubes and other parts, you don't have to worry that it will damage. Operating point is a big roll here since you're playing the tube with reference to its transfer curve and in accordance to its maximum power dissipation....

As posted earlier, you have to consider the limits of the load or the driver tube. Otherwise, it will damage your tube due to excessive voltage.

guys, para malinaw lang ha..... i hope that my comments re changing the rectifier tube on my amx preamp is not taken too generally, i was talking about my own specific amx preamp, certainly not tube preamps in general.... it is wrong to assume that any circuit will improve by doing the same.... sorry guys if that was the the impression i created.

Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: arnoldc on Jun 17, 2004 at 12:57 PM
juls, andy, nasabi nyo na eh.

i take rectifier change with a grain of salt. tulad ng mga nasabi na, you change the recitier to a different one, you alter the operating point, hence changing the sound.

if you want to have a solid change in your amp, change the output transformer. my 45 was ok with a local transformer with U.S. core, but after replacing it with a tamura, ibang usapan na. also the driver tubes can bring more sonic improvement/change as well as the power tube. ingat lang sa substitue, like a lot of people subs a 5693 to a 12AU7 not knowing na 150 V lang max Vp nun. kung sa foreplay na pre-amp pwede pero sa  ibang circuit sunog yang tube na yan.

and as s2kov pointed out, tubes are matibay, i have my Sovtek 2A3 configured with a B+ 20% over the dissipation buhay pa din, pero hindi ko gagawin yun kung RCA na 2A3 noh.

From what I leaned (hanep!), plug in the original 5AR4 and then measure the DC and then plug in the 5U4G and then adjust to get the same DC output as the 5AR4 via resistor or choke.

Ibang klase amp mo sir ang ganda ng tunog, I bought 2 pairs of Monster spade connector to match doon sa cable, I've already 50% played all my CD collection and still going and going...pasok muna opis then uwi maaga. My wife was angry to me last weekend why i dont have plan to go out, I told her OK lest go to Makati (Phasetron heheh). Just for 3 hours then go back home without turning off the amp.... Lalong gumanda tunog! SIR HANS LETS TALK!

Pre your speaker is right for SET amp pwede din push pull.. depend talaga on what music you usually play.. like Odyopayl Klipsh 94db speaker nya but i think love the push pull sound and power..

guys balita ko pwede pa maka-iskor ng 10% discount pag malakas ka sa kanila hehe... si mr. sunshine din nakahingi daw ng 10% discount sa new-look EL34 push-pull amp kaya parang 20k na lang ginastos ni idol.

bakit kaya tatlo yun driver tubes sa harap?  ::)

i listened for a while and compared the two amps.... the EL34 produced more body to female vocals (audiophile voices 1), the 807 played vocals as if the singer was a little more distant or smaller although not by much.... treble & bass detail seemed more apparent on the 807 probably because the frequency curve was smiley face whereas the EL34 freq. curve was frowny face (emphasis on mids/low-mids).... both sound very clear & detailed btw.

hmmnn better ask andrew about it as he has a better explanation why it's three but its got something to do with the super triode connection obviously  :) this amp though emphasizes on the mids.

mas maganda yung bago hehehe.... parang may makati tuloy sa batok ko.  ;)

yung driver tube sa gitna ang naiba.... di ako sure kung ano yun, maaring linestage or buffer.... pero pwede rin kaya na yun ang ginamit ni andrew as the feedback triode?

nabasa ko kasi about STC...

"...uses triode as feedback path device instead of a conventional (sic) resistor. By this method the STC adopts the triode's performance characteristics, so you get the sonic of the triode used with a low plate resistor, even if you actually are employing a pentode, beam deflection tetrode or even a transistor, as power output (current amplification) device."

most likely the middle triode is the feedback triode....kung tama nga ang pagkakaintindi ko sa explanation ni Andrew :)

kung ganun mas tipid mag tube roll kasi isang dual triode driver tube lang?

"....you get the sonic of the triode used with a low plate resistor, even if you actually are employing a pentode, beam deflection tetrode or even a transistor, as power output (current amplification) device."

pwede kaya naka STC pati solid state amp?

Pero sir, PANALO yang amp na nakuha mo! :o :o :D :D

Rossifumi,

Sir baka ito type mo... 
hans, im choosing between el34 stc, 807 stc and amx 300b. hindi ko na nga alam eh but i wouldnt wanna make a purchase unless i audition them in a home listening environment. ang  hirap kse mag audiotn dun sa phasetron store parang ayaw mag open up yung sound.
ikaw ano palit mo sa pushpull mo? balitaan mo kme ha:)
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp

the ones custom built for someone :)

I agree. I have been wanting to buy a decent budget tube amp. But everytime I listen to it sa Phasetron, I get discouraged. Just the other day I auditioned the dual el34 STC costing above P20K and I tell you I wouldn't buy it even if they brought down the price to P14K. There just wasn't any body to the music, no soundstage, lots of lost detail, no sparkle, and Norah sounded squeaky. I'm betting its just an amp-speaker mismatch.

hindi po push-pull 'yung 807.  parallel single-ended po siya.  i believe it could do 20wpc.

sir correct me if im wrong,  the tube complements of the 807 i saw was with 4 807s, 4 12ax7(not sure), and a 5ar4(matsucrapa) as rectifier? is this the one you are refering to?

the 807 just like other tubes can last long. it is electrically equivalent to 1625, 6L6, 6BG6G but they have different filament and socket orientation. the 807 is UX-5 with top cap as protection (its "sungay" is the Anode, touch it you're dead). avoid Westinghouse brand 807, it sounds crap. i use RCA in my 807 amp.

if you guys want a good sounding 6SN7, try the Sylvania VT-231's.  they are one of the more musical ones and i prefer them over the RCA redbase.  i have about a dozen types of 6SN7s, and they are in the top 3.  the others i like are the tung-sol and the black-glass ken-rads.  but that's me, my ears and my gear...

thanks bro...sige, will attend one of your listening sessions...AFAIK, each tube would have a different sound and will also depend on the circuit topology, like the 2A3 is for me a very "dynamic" and fast SET, the 300B is really lush for vocals...over-all performance still would be the EL34 ST-70 workhorse...really haven't heard (in my 3-years in audio) a tube amp which may achieve all of these, but that's me...i've never heard a SET amp with the dynamics of a push-pull, kasi iba talaga sila eh...iba rin music na bagay for each type of tube amp...for me, it's still the 300B, 2A3 and ST-70...for the pre-amp, the tono pre-amp is one of the best low-cost yet hi-end parts pre-amp i've heard/used...but i'm still amazed with the audible illusions and the antique sound lab especially the twinheads..., imagine 2A3 in your pre-amp???

well, talagang sa hobby natin, kanya-kanya...ika nga eh: to each his own...

hindi ba natin isa sama yung amx el-34   amp ni jetok.... amp ni jetok....amp ni jetok....amp ni jetok....amp ni jetok....  ;D >:D

balita kundisyon na kundisyon na raw ito! Pati output tubes balita ko NOS na mullard na rin daw eh!  ;D ;D

nakupo, tapos na pala ang tube-hunting expedition... makakahabol kaya si master hans sa inyong dalawa eh pareho kayong naka-mullard. ;)

superman, there are a lot of phono preamps that will beat the audible illusions. mind you the audible illusions that really sound great is the 3, that will be much more expensive. you can buy 3 EAR834s at that price.

mga sirs na tubero,
 tanong ko lang po sana kung how much the AMX 300b are going now with and without the tubes.  ano po ba maganda na tube amp aside from AMX for low budget?
 I have heard one (though not AMX, actually three kasi pre-amp and monoblocks) connected to an exposure CD player and a TT and it's really different talaga compared to SS.

SARS?  ;D

Amx 300B would cost around 28k with tube, push pull goes around 24k.. as for other brand you can check out Wiredstate project like the Tono 300B,  TRODT tube amp by Mang Rod & Vintage/Branded tube amp of Hyperaudio.. ;D ;D

Happy hunting.. >:D >:D

you can get teh amx 300b without tubes for 20k. you can also opt for getting the amp with only the pair of 300b attached inuss the driver and rectifier.... goodluck, i suggest you do this since the price of the 300b tube is quite expensive.. goodluck ;D

Magtatanong lang if anyone can indulge me. Yung nakakita ng EL34 na STC sa Phasetron, do you know kung anong brand yung tube? One more thing if anyone has tried a SVETLANA EL34 vs. TESLA EL34. I've been looking at reviews pero parang mixed yung findings--some says better svet and some the tesla. Any experience? Thank you.

quoting from wiredstate:

Quote
Here's a copy of the EL34 shootout from VTV mag:

"EL34 Hi-Fi Results - [Vacuum Tube Valley no 16]


1. Amperex Bugle Boy Double-D Getter Brown Base 1961 - Lots of vintage OEMs used this tube in its hey- day. Our listening panel found it sounding cool, dry, and smooth. Transparency was very good as were frequency extension and dimensionality. Overall rating 3.82

2. Amperex (actually a Blackburn Mullard-made Xf4) Brown Base 1966 - An excellent- sounding tube with outstanding performance in our system. Dynamic range and frequency extension were exceptional and all other categories were rated as one of the best. These are not as expensive as the more collectable Xf2 version, so get yours now while you can! Overall rating is 4.03

3. Chinese (Shuguang) 2001 - This is a new production item from China that is obviously a copy of an Xf2 Mullard. Slightly above average rating with noticeably good transparency and frequency extension. Other cate- categories were about average. Overall rating 3.22

4. E.I. Small Bottle Tipped 2001 - This design has been around for a few years and is now available again. Reviewers felt that the tube was warm and kind of dry sounding. The tube was musical sounding with some noticeable liquidity. Use this tube with caution in high plate voltage amps. It may be subject to biasing problems and potential overheating. Overall rating 3.7

5. E.I. Fat Bottle Tipped 2001 - A fat version of the above, this tube looks very impressive. It looks like a smaller version of the E.I. KT90. Reviewers thought the tube was a lirtle on the harsh side with all three musical selections. Predominant tonal character was dry and warm. Overall rating 3.2

6. Genalex KT77 Gold Lion 1974 - This ultra-rare EL34 type is the most collectable of all. It is a beautiful example of British valve art. KT77s came standard in amps like the Acrosound UL120 and some British valve amps of the 1960s. The KT77 sounded very liquid and warm with an overall pleasing tonal quality. Overall rating 3.66

7. Japanese Split-top Glass 1970s - Matsus**ta sold EL34s that were essentially copies of Xf2 Mullards during the 1960s and 1970s, They did not have the Philips date codes and can be typically identified by the split seam in the glass on top of the tube. Amperex and RCA rebranded and sold those tubes during the 1970s. Sound characteristics were dry and cool. Overall rating 3.4

8. Mullard Xf2 Single-Halo Getter 1964 - This is the classic Mullard that was standard equipment in Dynaco, Fisher, Maranrz, Scott, and many other 1960s hi-fi amps. Now highly collectable and known for its smooth, rich sound, matched pairs of Xf2 Mullard EL34s can command prices in excess of $275US. Don't look for the price to go down either! This tube sets the standard for liquid, smooth and warm sonics. Overall rating 3.33

9. Siemens ITT Eastern Europe Dimple-Top 1991 - A few years ago, this tube was relatively common. Now, however, it is considered an NOS tube. This tube was liked by many reviewers who thought it was cool, liquid and smooth-sounding. Overall rating 3.44

10. Sovtek EH 1999 - Sovtek has redesigned their EL34 with more rugged construction including gold-plated screen grids. This tube is definitelyan improvement over the earlier version. Priced at the low end of the scale, the EH EL34 is a great buy. The tube is musical, warm and detailed, but a little on the dry side. Overall rating 3.48
-
11. Svetlana Brown Base 2000 - The Sverlana EL34 is now available in the US from a variety of tube dealers. This tube sounds very Mullard-like and is used in a number of high fidelity tube amps. Tonal characteristics are smooth, warm and musical. Overall rating 3.18

12. Sylvania Fat Bottle Double Getter USA 1970s - A US version of the EL34, the Sylvania 6CA7 has kind of a cult following in some circles. Prices have increased significantly over the last few years. This tube has a cool and liquid sound, but at least one reviewer did not like it very much. He thought it was a little on the harsh side. Overall rating 3.68

13. Tesla Brown Base (Mullard Xf2 copy) 1991 - Out of the blue, this once common EL34 was the top performer in our EL34 test. It was
obvious that Tesla used some of the original Xf2 Mullard tooling they received from Philips to make this tube. Everyone liked its musical performance above any of the other tubes. Tonal coloration was on the liquid and warm side. Dynamic range and frequency extension were both
rated as excellent. I personally used a quad of these in my Dynaco Stereo 70 for years and thought they sounded great. Some NOS dealers may still have some of these in stock at reasonable prices, but don't wait too long! Overall rating 4.36 Top Performer

14. JJ/Tesla Round Top 2001 - To the surprise of many, this tube performed very well. Tonal coloration was dry, warm and very smooth. Musical and balanced-sounding were other comments from the reviewers. Across the board, this tube was liked by all reviewers, Based on our results, the JJ/Tesla EL34 is a Best Buy EL34 for hi fi applications. Overall rating 3.97

Conclusion:

The bad news is that NOS Amperex and Mullard EL34s are getting hard to find and expensive. The good news is that several tube manufacturers
are producing excellent quality EL34s. Tubes from Ei, Sovtek, Svetlana and Tesla should be able to satisfy the sonic tastes of most tonal connoisseurs. The current Tesla EL34 is the clear winner in this EL34 hi-fi shootout. It can be had at bargain prices and according to our ears, can sound as good or better than many of the classic NOS EL34s. The Sovtek EH EL34 and the Ei EL34 (small bottle) are no high fidelity slouches either. There are enough good EL34s around for the near future and then some. "

IMHO they have smooth midrange..comparable with some SET's but depends on the speakers as well..btw i tested an 807 amp with my current speakers (95 dB eff.) so your mileage may vary  :)

hahahaha bilis kumalat ng balita dito ha...Anyway I was the one who ordered  the Integrated Amp from Andrew with Sovtek 6550We tubes.  I just texted him the specs of my Sonus Faber Tino home and decided to make me an amp in the tradition of Audio Research.  Its 60 watts.  We have a verbal agreement that If I dont like it I'll send it back no questions asked.  After I listened to it at the shop and at home I have to be crazy to let go of this amp. After 100 hours Ill be posting my review of the amp but for now whatever type of music I dish out...it sounds GOOD!!! The amp is making my sonus sing with the Rel providing the lows giving me that IN there experience.    I was thinking of separates  as well for better control  but whatever I play doesnt need adjusting anymore considering that Im still breaking in the amp but with the rate Im going in due time it will be broken in. Ive been listening since lunch time  and I just cant stop.......

The 807 SE Parallel Amp.  Wow amp.   

I had the opportunity of bringing home the 807 SE Parallel Amp & auditioning it with my own gear.  What can I say?  Just...  Wow!

Shoot-na-shoot s'ya sa type ng music ko - mostly vocals & instrumentals.  It has the same "syrupy sweet with grains of sand" sound similar to my 6V6 amp.  Pero mas malalim ang bass at maganda rin ang dynamics.  So, "syrupy sweet with grains of sand & some stones" s'ya.   Nga pala, 'yung 6V6 3wpc SE amp po ang naging reference ko. 

One of the lowdown of the amp is that it needs to properly warm up.  Medyo bright kasi kung hindi pa warmed up.  It may not be too pleasing to the ears.  The magic starts, though, after 30 mins or so when it is already fully warmed up.       

Nga pala, disclaimer...  Medyo biased ako sa tipo ng tunog ng 6V6 kase madalas jazz (instrumental & vocals) ang pinatutugtog ko.  Hindi po ako nag-attempt magpatugtog ng ibang tipo ng musika (i.e. rock, alternative, etc).  'Yung SS amp ko o kaya 'yung HT setup ko ang gamit ko pag-ganoong tipo ng musika ang pinatugtog ko.

BTW, I auditioned the amp with the following gears:
1) Dahlquist DQ-10 & Klipsch RB-3 speakers
2) NAD 521 CD Player
3) El-Cheapo DIY interconnects, &
4) Audio Pro 12 gauge speaker wires.   

The 807 SE amp at 20 wpc could be a good alternative to PP amps.  But that's just me, of course.   ;)

Mga sirs dun ba sa AMX el34 interchangeable yung el34 sa kt88 or 6550? Was trying to contact Mr. Sevilla himself but he's out of the country. The technicians can't say din.

KT88--beam power tube, similar to uprated 6550. Original MOV/Genalex version is valuable old British tube, expensive and scarce. Still made in China, Russia and Slovakia.

EL34--very popular power pentode used in guitar amps and hi-fi. Still made in Russia, Slovakia, Serbia and China.


6550--beam tetrode, popular in hi-fi and bass-guitar amps. Original made by Tung-Sol, all American versions out of production. Still made in China and Russia (SED C logo, Sovtek).

Kt-88 is direct replacement for 6550 vice versa but from EL34 possible but some adjustment might required

Depends on the circuit desiged by sir andrew. Jetok's el-34 PP STC amp can take-in all 3 tubes.  He only has to change to a 5ar4 rectifier tube in order to accomodate both KT88 and 6550 tubes. For el-34, the amp can take-in 5ar4, 5u4gb, 5u4g and 5u4 rectifiers.  No more bias adjustments necessary for the amp.  ;D

master hans n kimpao, i have a friend intrested in the usher x719 ( the one at the show) ano kaya bagay na amx power amp dun.... yung may konting power pero delicate and malambing ang vocals...
6550? el34? kt88? alin kaya


Would also recommend AMX EL-34 PP STC amp, the likes of sir jetok's amp. :D

Really depends on circuit design sir.  It usually ranges from 22k to 26k.  IMHO, his is really a "Best Buy" and "Bang for the Buck" purchase, you really won't go wrong with these amps. :D

I've heard the EL34 STC but using a sovtek el34g. Very nice indeed. It doesn't go very low but the bass is taut and tuneful not flabby and slow IMHO. I wonder how this would sound with parts upgraded to boutique types.

with my limited experience with AMX amps - replacement of the stock tubes will produce the best audible results... maybe you dont have to go as far as using boutique parts ;D

Congrats sir alanranch on your new toy! Ganda yan sir ang alam ko sir naka-STC ata yung amp mo  >:D tapos interchangeable to el34 yung output.  parehong pareho kayo ni jetok ng layout sir maliban lang dun sa driver at linestage. 12ax7 at 12at7 ba sir o 2 pairs of 12ax7s? :D

Thanks guys  :D

yes its 2 different pairs...1 pair general electric and the other one national ata hehe.   I got the amp for 30k.  I just texted Andrew Sevilla and I think he's still in Singapore.  A lot of people have been inquiring abt the amp so here are the details.  Just email Andrew at  [email protected] or call phasetron coz the amp will depend on the specs of your speakers. You have to plan it with Andrew 1st.  For me the original plan for my Tino home was monoblocks giving 100 watts but was way over my budget.  I just told Andrew I need an amp that is dynamic coz of the music I play. I listen to every type of music and I cant be bias coz thats my work.. from drum and bass to deep jazzy house to standards to pop to hip hop to reggae name it I listen to it. So he told me bang for the buck 6550 power tubes in the tradition of Audio research.... 

Since some of you  wanna audition it, by 1st or 2nd week of August Il be inviting you guys to my house to listen . I cant bring the amp out of the house any longer coz its so FRIGGIN heavy.  I only had to carry the amp from my car to my room and now my back aches soo bad.  Ill be urging you to bring material (lps and cds) so you'll have an idea how the amp sounds and for you to be able to do some extensive testing.  Shootout pwede din, the more the merrier.  Baka pwede din sa inyong may mag dala ng Cd player since I just use a uni player.    Next in line pa lang ang CD player medyo malaki na nalabas ko and I think its not right this time to just buy buy buy. Kailangan to make sure b4 I buy which is what I do everytime I buy gears.   I dont even have a phono pre just using a mixer for my TT hehehe.  So nde pa talaga kumpleto im just taking my time and studying my options but I can already say that the amp is a winner and that Im happy.  Here's a pic of the amp.....

output transformers cannot share the same core.
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: akyatbundok on Jul 27, 2004 at 02:08 PM
thanks!  so it's always at least 3 trafos pala... my scratch pad is full of layout drawings coz andrew usually asks what layout to use... i just wanted to know how many trafos should be there, coz i want a layout that is narrow and deep so it could fit in the same rack as my CDP and preamp (not much space left).

next question:  is there an optimum layout for the trafos & tubes?  sometimes i see some layouts where the power trafo & rectifier are in the middle, but in some cases they at the left side... sometimes the input terminals are at the front of the chassis.
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: arnoldc on Jul 27, 2004 at 03:59 PM
the layouts are to combat noise and transformer interaction, i.e., 90 degrees off power and OPT.

inputs are in front sometime to avoid cris-crossing other wires and is shortest path to the input tubes. if the wiring is not messy, this is not an issue.

another component to consider is the choke.

the one assembling the amp should have the knowledge to make the layout ideal

meron mga bagong pre-amp duon sa phasetron.   ala-consonance ang dating.  me linestage at phonostage.   ganda mga tubo gamit...  'yung isa me rca sexy bottle 5u4g at RCA cleartops 12au7. 'yung isa naman me sylvannia 5u4g at blackplates 12au7.

'yung isa 'ata kay kimpao.  pero 'yung isa hindi ko masyadong nabasa 'yung pangalan na nakalagay sa sticker sa tubo...  makabalik nga ulit.

thanks alan!...i cannot really make a comparison re: pre-amps i've used before...they are of different characterictics...baka it would be unfair...let's just say i wanted a pre-amp with phono stage...i think by upgrading still some of the parts to boutique parts (i.e. auricaps, blackgates, etc.)...but for the price i bought it, and for the NOS tubes i'm using, it rocks!...when do you plan to have the session??? :D

Ciguro pwede na "Round-up" Congrats! and nice meeting you sir!

Odyopayl! thanx! Nice meeting you too,  hehe easy load lang cguro yung speaker ni akyat kaya medyo kinaya din, cguro pag sa st70 ni kimpao labas na labas talga yung bass dun! minsan nga mejo sumasayad yung 300b  sa low passages but im happy with the mids and highs, crisp and clean just the way i like it, next project ko preamp! >:D
Pwede na cguro to pang round up konting butingting na lang.. hehehe
BTW panalo din yung yamaha na SS, smooth sounding non fatiguing at all, and yung sony na cdp ES maganda rin!
As always, a big thank you to akyat for graciously hosting the session, hehehe maganda rin yung HOTSTUFF >:D mo ha! hehehe

Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: alanranch on Aug 03, 2004 at 02:42 PM


Alan, for final tweaking na ba sir??  :) :)

yup final na kay Andrew sa kin shemfreh bumibili na ng iba iba tubes for testing.  Dapat sa mga bumili ng amp/pre amp dalhin kay Andrew ang speakers para maayos nya lahat. Iba kasi ang ginagamit nyang speakers for testing kaya sometimes nde compatible.  When I returned my amp may sira daw 2 tubes .  So sabi nya lahat daw ok na.natatagalan lang coz hes tweaking the vocals of my SF tino home sa amp excited na nga ako when he's finished. 
BTW some1 asked for the driver tubes that he used for my amp.  Its G.E. 12AT7wc and National 12AX7.  I just bought telefunken 12at7 and hoping compatible sya or good combo.  Meron na ba dito may experience sa 12at7? ok ba ge and telefunken 12at7?  Im planning to take out the 12ax7 and just use the tele's with ge or try different combo's. 

@JEN kelan ba mas ok mag session weekday ba or weekend?  tayo kasi nina iceman and marty e. magkalapit lang paano yung iba?  Im thinking Friday night or Sunday afternoon. What do u think?   Sagot ko na beer at hard drinks.

Sure sama sama tayo para masaya basta mag kasya nyahahaha.  I dont know when its going to be released I just heard from Andrew that he has tweaked everything arleady except for the vocals.  He told me to give him time to tweak the amp so my sonus would SING!  Medyo laid back kasi yung tinest ko sa house ko i want it pronounced.  Nde na ako maka intay pero nde ko na kunukulit si Andrew para sure na lahat when its in my hands.  Pero tuloy pa din ang ligaya ang gamit ko now yung AV set up ko for listening with the Energy Connoissuer 3's and REL.

hanep talaga di paaawat sa SARS hehehe... sigurado ko tube complement ang mods na gagawin mo dyan kasi parang mga stock tubes lang nakakabit. dapat pinalagay mo yung rectifier sa gitna para mas pogi hehehe nakialam pa eh. kala ko nga small amp yun eh  ;D ;D congrats pre!

Nope, the preamp already has NOS RCA 5U4G, NOS RCA 12au7 cleartops, kung sakali yung 12ax7 lang ang babaguhin ko.

Mga Sirs and all AMX amp users,

question lang po. i was really intrigue by the sound and performance of a tube amp specially the AMX integrated tube amp. maybe because of all the praises i read on this thread.

The question is  Can AMX Push Pull integrated amp be used for all type of music? Rock, jazz, classical ,reggae. I know one thing for sure it's good for vocals.

The reason I'm asking this is because one time I tried to audition the one on display at Phasetron , I think its the EL84 push pull amp. 15watts/channel daw sabi ng guy na nagde-demo. He tried putting a CD (Audiofile Best Female Voices), I should say the sound is so sweet (using the Celestion speakers). Sabi ko paki try ng ibang type of music yung medyo heavy ang bass, he put a CD na Blues yata yun.  At low volume (10 o'clock vol setting) it's good, but when I start to crank up the volume to about 3 o'clock parang may distorted sound na akong naririnig. He shifted the speaker using the Alon (yung malaking speakers dun). Tapos ganun pa rin ang observation ko.

Is there something wrong with the amp. kaya o hindi nya kaya yung mga ganung klaseng music. Or does a Tube amp requires long time to warm-up? is this normal? or yung 15 watts is just too low to play loud music?

hope to get feedback from you guys.

thanks.

baka di lang match yung amp at speakers - if thats the case kahit na hindi tube amp, or kahit na ibang brand na tube amp mag distort talaga...

3 o'clock? malayo na yun, i dont even reach 12 o'clock on my set-up :)

Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: Superman on Aug 04, 2004 at 04:44 PM
it's a low-powered amp, plus probably the speakers have low sensitivity...what kind of distortion did you hear??? it also depends on the tubes used, some tubes are rather "slow" but excellent on vocals while others are very "dynamic"...thanks, just my 2-cents! 8)

Hi Iceman,

I'm  not really sure kung mga 3 o'clock, pero hindi pa ganun kalakas medyo disttorted na. Ang alam ko (based on my limited experience) kahit hindi ganun sila ka match distortion will not be an issue, maybe the type sound that will come out (either too laid back or too bright). Pero hindi naman siguro distorted. Hindi ganun kalakas yung distortion, but you could notice it at not so loud sound.

I'm planning to pair an AMX tube amp kasi sa Diamond 8.3 ko. Balita ko maganda raw eh. Ano kayang model ng AMX yun?

thanks.

Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: Superman on Aug 04, 2004 at 04:46 PM
...i agree with iceman, masyado malayo ang 3 o'clock..with my amp, 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock is already OK, for any type of music, even rock...thanks again! may be a case of equipment mismatch...or also the impedance drastically drops (speakers, let's say from 6-ohms to 2-ohms)...

i was thinking the same. 9 o'clock ngalang akin. epos 14 pa dinadrive ng 2a3 ko.

ofcourse, every amp has its clipping point. if you say 3 o'clock, nahirapan talaga idrive ang mga speakers.

maybe my question is anong tube amp ang pwede sa all type of music and pwede rin gamitin to power the fronts of my home theater? my speaker is Wharfedale Diamond 8.3. and planning to upgrade to either B&W 600  series or MA B series or Mission M34

diamond speakers are hard to drive speakers, that's according to some comments in one of the forums here. if that is a fact, then i suggest you get a push pull amp. try it with 50watts per channel AMX amp and notice if distortion appears.

well, kasi dun sa AV receiver ko na NAD even at almost full volume hindi ako nakakarinig ng ganung harsh sound.

of coarse most of the time when you listen hindi naman parating malakas o sobrang lakas. kaya lang at least you know na may ilalakas pa yung amp mo if needed. You know, minsan parang gusto mong makipag contest ng sound sa kapitbahay mo di ba? tsaka sayang naman yung volume control mo kung hangang kalahati lang pala max na pwede. this is just my 2 cent...  kaya nga i'm asking for your advise mga sirs....

kailangan mo dyan Push pull na amp... para safe get one with EL 34 tubes, easy to find tsaka relatively cheap yung magandang brands

in fact may model ang AMX na hanep daw tumunog, daw kasi hindi ko pa nadidinig - nakita at nahawakan ko na pero di ko naipakabit ;D sa ganda nga balita ko pinagaya ng isang member dito, kulay lang yata ng chassis ang pina iba, pero baka hindi pa rin baguhin kasi dapat daw ganung ganun ang tunog kaya nagsisiguro ;D

Sir Juls, superman and iceman,

Thanks for your reply.. By the way meron bang AMX na push pull na 50 watts. Ang nakikita ko kasi dun sa Phasetron mga 30 watts lang yata. 28K pesos  na. Sabi ng guy doon malakas na raw yung 30 watts for a tube amp.

kung 50 watts, baka 50K na rin ang halaga nun.

try mo rin sa 30 watts. malay mo baka ok din naman. malakas ang 30 watts pag madali idrive ang speakers. if you say na kaya mo ifull volume nad amp mo sa speakers mo, it proves na mahirap talaga i drive. how many watts per channel can your nad amp provide?

better call adrew. he owns phasetron.

thanks and god bless

No need for a preamp if your going to use an integrated tube amp. If you opted for a hybrid system (tube preamp and solid state amp) there will be a noticeable change but not really night and day.  IMHO, between the two, i'd go for a integrated tube amp any day,  as for a hybrid setup won't be getting that lush tubey sound.

Need for a preamp:

functionality wise, if you have an integrated amp, there is no more NEED for a preamp. Why? may volume pot kasi pag integrated amp. if you have a turntable, there is a NEED for a phono preamp. Nevertheless, some  WANT a tube preamp for the purpose of introducing new flavor into the sound of a given setup.

CD buffer option:

never mind the tube buffer. mag tube amp ka na agad if you want the real thing! kidding aside, cd buffer can make or break your system. audition it first with your setup before concluding if the same is a good addition or not.

there are some amx users here who have tried wharfedale diamonds with their amps, and they reported great results when the 8.3 was paired with an amx push pull el34 amp giving out 30 watts per channel. And the last i heard is that bass was not definitely lacking. There is a push pull kt88 amp there that gives out 50watts per channel which you can try out as well.

I used to own an amx amp, if u want to get inputs pm odyopayl as he is now the new owner of the amp. :)

The ultra-linear class AB1 push-pull amp is said to be the sweet spot between efficiency and distortion.  I think this is what jcob needs.  Then instead of using a valve rectifier, ultra fast - soft recovery diodes ang gamitin para dynamic yung amp.  At syempre oversized output transformers para hindi kapusin sa hininga pag nakipabiritan sa kapitbahay.

mga SARS este Sirs salamat sa mga advise ninyo. I'm very much overwhelm with the feedback I'm getting from you people. I think this is also the reason why some members planning or wanting to get a tube gear gets SARS.

ano nga ba SARS? association din ba ito kagaya nung nakikita ko sa wiredstate na TAE & UTOT ( I think eto yungmga mahilig naman sa Technics Turntable).

actually I like to learn more. lalo na dun sa mga iba-ibang characteristics nung mga Tube. Hindi ko kasi maintindihan yung iba lalo na pag yung code lang ang na-me-mention (EL34, EL84, 300B etc.) most tube articles that i've read kasi discusses only the difference between  a SET and a PushPull design.

siguro kailangan mag karoon ako talaga ng tube amp. para ma-experience and at the same time learn na rin.

Mga sir, sali po ako sa club kung OK lang sa inyo. I am now the proud owner of a contodo preamp (thanks to john5479). I changed the tubes as follows: RCA 5U4G as rectifier, RCA cleartops for the linestage, and telefunken 12AX7 for the phono stage. All I can say is....malupit!!! The sound is definitely good!!! Maganda ang phono stage. Likewise for the linestage, though I prefer to use the auxiliary inputs over the CD buffer. Congrats to Master Andrew for a well designed and well built preamp.
System I used: Rega Planar 3 TT with RB300 arm and Clearaudio Aurum Beta cart, Sony CDP-337ESD CD Player alternating with Exposure 2010 CDP, AMX Contodo Preamp, Dynaco ST70 (fully upgraded by Rene, using point to point wiring, NO PCB), and Epos ES14 speakers.

BTW got the amp yesterday,  Andrew took out the 12ax7 and replaced them with 12at7's so lahat na ng small input tubes ko 12at7 although GE sila lahat  magkaibang pares pa din.  Dynamic and more oomp on the Vocals. Happy ako...:)

Thanks for your warm welcome guys. I hope I can find a venue so I can share my knowledge about tubes to help you enjoy your music without denting too much your wallets. Tubes have always been expensive. Hifi was always HI-FINANCE. But there is a way to enjoy the best musiccal sound from our tube amplifiers without having to go broke. Not that I do not appreciate those expensive rigs and components, maybe I just dont have that kind of money, but my quest is to be able to bring the best music at the least posssible price. Might be difficult but its worth the adventure, I think.

Andrew thanks for making it possible for me to experiment on tube sound without having to spend so much. I very much like the sound of my tube amp. Looking forward to hearing about the improved output transformers you're working on.

I own a AMX el34 single ended which I modified just a bit. So I guess that makes me a MALAMBOT OR AMBOT member?

Guys,

Passed by at Phasetron yesterday and saw a KT66 SET amp 10 watter and EL84 15 watter push pull.. initial impression both amp have sweet and smooth vocals details is right but this amps i think would not be for headbangers  ;D ;D the EL84 sports a wood siding  ;D ;D ;D ( same sa amp ko ).. yun KT66 is good for space conscious guys kasi pahaba sya compare to our regular amps and wowow very big Malory caps at the back.. btw both amps are tube rectified.. ;) ;)

Post by: audi0slave on Aug 06, 2004 at 05:00 PM

Di naman ganun ka dali maubos yun EL34 you'll have years pa of listening pleasure kahit 24/7 pa naka-on years pa rin..

here's an excerpt from an article I read entitled "How a Vacuum Tube Works?" by Eric Barbour

"The lifetime of a tube is determined by the lifetime of its cathode emission. And the life of a cathode is dependent on the cathode temperature, the degree of vacuum in the tube, and purity of the materials in the cathode.

Tube life is sharply dependent on temperature, which means that it is dependent on filament or heater operating voltage. Operate the heater/filament too hot, and the tube will give a shortened life. Operate it too cool and life may be shortened (especially in thoriated filaments, which depend on replenishment of thorium by diffusion from within the filament wire). A few researchers have observed that the lifetime of an oxide-cathode tube can be greatly increased by operating its heater at 20% below the rated voltage. This USUALLY has very little effect on the cathode's electron emission, and might be worth experimenting with if the user wishes to increase the lifetime of a small-signal tube. (Low heater voltage is NOT recommended for power tubes, as the tube may not give the rated power output.) Operating the heater at a very low voltage has been observed to linearize some tube types-- we have not been able to verify this, so it may be another worthy experiment for an OEM or sophisticated experimenter. The average end-user is advised to use the rated heater or filament voltage--experimentation is not recommended unless the user is an experienced technician.

Oxide cathodes tend to give shorter lifetimes than thoriated filaments. Purity of materials is a big issue in making long-lived oxide cathodes--some impurities, such as silicates in the nickel tube, will cause the cathode to lose emission prematurely and "wear out". Low-cost tubes of inferior quality often wear out faster than better-quality tubes of the same type, due to impure cathodes.
Small-signal tubes almost always use oxide cathodes. Good-quality tubes of this type, if operated well within their ratings and at the correct heater voltage, can last 100,000 hours or more.

The world record for lifetime of a power tube is held by a large transmitting tetrode with a thoriated filament. It was in service in a Los Angeles radio station's transmitter for 10 years, for a total of more than 80,000 hours. When finally taken out of service, it was still functioning adequately. (The station saved it as a spare.) By comparison, a typical oxide-cathode glass power tube, such as an EL34, will last about 1500-2000 hours; and a tube with an oxide-coated filament, such as a 300B, will last about 4000-10,000 hours.  This is dependent on all the factors listed above, so different customers will observe different lifetimes."

So, if an EL34 tube is made to perform on a 24/7 work shift, its estimated lifetime of 2000 hrs would equate to only 83 days and 8 hrs. while on the other hand, a 300B tube would last longer with its estimated lifespan of 10,000 hrs which is roughly equivalent to 416 days and 16 hrs.

pero sino naman ang magpapatugtog at makikinig ng 24/7 ???  ::)

2.4k/pair every 3yrs.... mas malaki gastos ko sa kape hehehe.  ;D ;D ;D

parang malapit din ang lifetime & cost sa 300B kung bibili ka din eventually ng 5 pairs.... practical din pala na option ang 300B dahil sa tagal ng tube life niya parang bumili ka ng 5 pairs of EL34, tapos maganda pa tunog.

Audio Slave;

6P3P is a chinese tube Beam Tetrode can give 4.5w at 250 v, same pin base connection as 6v6 0r 6l6 but lower rating. 6N8P is a dual triode tube for preamp and drver applications, same pin base connection as 6SN7. You can experiment, but the characteristics curve are not exactly the same, but I think an amp with this tube can also use the 6sn7.
KT66 similar to 6L6 but not exactly the same, but will work in most 6L6 amps same with5881, but 5881 will not be always suitable to 6l6 amps, it will depend on the Plate Volrage used in the ^6l6 amp.
I hope I did not confuse you.

thank you very much sir AMXtube.

tube rolling is not that easy as plug and play after all. we should always consult the experts if we are to avoid smokin' the amp or the tube itself...  ;D ;D
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: audi0slave on Aug 07, 2004 at 06:57 PM

question: pareho ba lifetime ng tubes pag Class A or Class AB?

Comparing push-pull Class A with Class AB amps on which will have a longer tube lifespan? Push-pull Class A operation involves low plate voltages and higher plate currents compared to push-pull amps in Class AB operation. This high currents present in these amps operating in the Class A mode will wear out the tube cathodes faster than in Class AB amps with a lower plate current. So the tubes which are usually in pairs in a push-pull amp in Class AB operation will have a longer lifespan.   :D

Yup, can be both but the amp is really a "gem on its own".  it can accomdate 6550 tubes or KT88, ata, (drop-in replacements) as long as you'll use a 5AR4 rectifier.

Purely, pushpull STC. Auto bias so you can use 6550 tubes as drop-in replacments but you can only use a 5ar4 rectifier. For el-34, the amp can take in 5u4gb, 5u4g, 5ar4, 5u4. 25 watts per channel.  what i'm not so sure of is, which is which, 6sn7 x 1 for line-in and 6sn7 x 2 for driver or is it the other way around.  ::)

Sir reading ko lang to ha. I'd be a little cautious about using 5ar4, at least for the el34 without checking the effect on dissipation and rebiasing. Kasi even now using 5V4G which has a bigger voltage drop than 5ar4, the el34s are already operating a near max dissipation ratings and this is the default on my unit (22w plate dissipation on one tube and 24w on the other and less than 5w for the screens). I'm not sure if Sir Andrew likes to bias his tubes very hot but a higher B+ could push your loadline outside the max dissipation curve. Not to mention kung optimal or hindi. Just my two cents.

Better ask sir andrew about this as he was the one designed the amp using a 5ar4 yet he said that it was ok to use a 5u4 variants.

Ah ok lang yan sir kasi moving from 5ar4 to 5u4 will just mean higher voltage drop so less B+. The unit will I guess just be biased colder everything else remaining the same. But if the unit is designed for a 5u4 but will be rolled to 5ar4, I'd be a little cautious lang that's all. In my case kasi right now near dissipation na yung unit ko based on my reading and baka masyado nang mataas yung dissipation kapag umakyat pa B+. I know that Andrew kasi likes to push the limits of his design as far as he can take it without damaging the tubes.

Vocals soar and yes the usher speakers were definitely singing!!! Sarap mag sound trip!!!

yup its for microphonics daw...

you can also DIY them using teflon tape, styrofoam - even saw one made of bamboo (for the 300b) :)

pero maganda yung metal no? kaso sasabihan ka ng asawa mo "buti pa tubes mo binilhan mo ng alahas!" ;D

styrofoam? nagbibiro ba kayo? firstly, you have to deal with 200 degrees heat, nag parang ice cream ang styrofoam dyan. even rubber can't stand such heat, parang sunog na goma yan.

teflon tape i can understand due to its very high heat resistance, pero how can you combat microphonics kung tape lang?

the purpose of these accessories is - combat microphonics.

any comments on the 6BM8 amp displayed at phasetron?  i'm thinking of it as an alternative amp, but maybe a 7-watt version using 4 tubes instead of 2, similar to the minimax amp below but using andrew's STC variation... according to andrew his prototype is similar to the japanese STC, but with some modifications.

I just called Andrew Sevillla and told me that there will be 4 ss type and 2 Vtube phono pre available this Friday at Phasetron in Quad.  I ordered one for myself already.  If youre interested have it reserved coz its going to be sold out soon.  The number is 8109948.  If ever its sold out, its ok Andrew will take orders naman.  Good Luck!!

I think  price is P4 to 4,500.  Just call to make sure of the price.  Good luck

Guys,

AAmin na ako.... di akin yan Eico HF-87 meron lang mabait na member dito nagpahiram, ;D ;D ;D this amp is way out of my league di kaya ng budget ko yan..

with just 3 hours of listening this Eico all i can say is Pangit...

Pangit...

If your a vintage lover and do not own this remarkable amp.  ;D ;D ;D tubes used are Siemens Quad EL34, Mullard 12ax7 & Tung-sol 6sn7 tube, SS rectified, i think only mod done is the front input (RCA), hiniwalay konti to give space for bigger plugs the speaker terminals are stock din.

The first thing you see when you check is the 3 huge transformers at the back, according to the owner they tried to open it up to check for leak and found then still kinda fresh no leaks that they concluded that the amp maybe stored and not used. then 4 big caps on the right side the owner told me he already replace one caps due to some leaks pero aside from that wla na..

Even for a few hours, i felt the presence and control instrument are played with delight and in playful tune. the dynamics, is unusual for a 35watter i believe its more than what is specifies reminded me of my Hafler..

Low levels the detail and clear warm sound are palpable unlike with other amp sometime a little thin.. switching to fast music will tempt you to increase the volume  ;D ;D ;D

Round up, Rock and Disco music is peanuts..  

High points IMHO
Control and presence galing!!
Clear and clean sound

Low points.
Speaker terminal hehehe hirap sa big wire
Mahal.. ;D ;D
Limited only like typical sikat na Vintage amp.. ;D ;D

Welcome to AMx thread... Hmmm I prefer there EL34 push pull amp...considering that they are price lower than other brand the Sound is superb and not sacrifice, we have compared it from new to vintage amp with same power and spec and these amps lives up to the competition.. each amp can be customade you can ask Mr Andrew the sound you prefer and what equipement you will pair them.. Also heard there 300B SET amp galing din ng sound.. :)

Money spent wisely ::) , i'd get the AMX PP EL-34 amps, especially the ones with STC circuits. Best sound for budget concious people. Soundwise, not a slouch and can go head-to-head with branded tube amps and can sometimes even "spank the living day lights of other branded amps". ;D  For starters, i'd get the Push/Pull amps rather than SET.  Why? The issue with SET amps is that you must have easy-to-drive speakers and most brands for these speaker types are pricey but if you have the "moolah" then by all means get the SET (AMX 300b) as this also sounds sweet.  Better get the PP's para all-rounder plus you'll spend less on speakers, if i were you.  :D

Mga Sir, ako rin excited na sa shoot-out medyo busy lang kami sa trabaho ngayon may project na tinatapos. Anyway, M100+ is 40watts per channel and integrated na pre-amp. below are some features:
1.Class AB, push-pull design delivering 40 watt output power.
2.A pair of EL34 output tubes running in ULTRA-LINEAR mode per channel.
3.12AT7 and 6SN7 dual triodes for input stage and drive stage (one 6SN7 drive pair of EL34).
4. Little negative feedback with precision RC circuitry for more linear output.
Pasensiya na mga sir pag-available na ako, I will announce it!
Para di OT:
Balita ko marami na pinataob and AMX PP amp na mga legend(Vintage)  tube amps?

kung gusto nyo daw, yung Usher CDP muna laban sa Rotel RCD-1072. kung manalo yung Rotel tsaka na papatulan yung ST-70 ng Consonance.

ayaw niyo ba gawin "tube PP shootout" featuring different tubes like EL34, EL84 and KT88/6550?  para sa mga tao tulad ko na hinde maka-decide kung anong tube ang gagamitin..... syempre dahil pinakamura ang EL84 PP amp (15k sana mahiram natin) parang ito ang 1st choice ko, unless malayo ang tunog.

Post by: dotnet on Sep 14, 2004 at 06:32 PM


Money spent wisely ::) , i'd get the AMX PP EL-34 amps, especially the ones with STC circuits. Best sound for budget concious people. Soundwise, not a slouch and can go head-to-head with branded tube amps and can sometimes even "spank the living day lights of other branded amps". ;D  For starters, i'd get the Push/Pull amps rather than SET.  Why? The issue with SET amps is that you must have easy-to-drive speakers and most brands for these speaker types are pricey but if you have the "moolah" then by all means get the SET (AMX 300b) as this also sounds sweet.  Better get the PP's para all-rounder plus you'll spend less on speakers, if i were you.  :D

Sirs Hans and Kimpao,
Thanks for the reply, Ill keep in mind these two amps when I go audition them from Mr. Sevillia. I have made a Voigt w/ the oval RS drivers w/ a whizzer cone at 90db. Set amps will drive this Voigt right? If so, does  this justify me from getting the SET instead? In you're case, guys, did you start with PP first then later got a SET. I assume you tend to own both PP and SET? Once you get a SET do you still keep your PP? What do you listen to most of the time, PP or SET? I usually listen at night when I come home from work, listening to the likes of Nat King Cole, Tyler, Fygi and Stacy Kent. Latin and Cuban music too.

Bogsle - Rotel RCD-02
odyopayl - Usher CD-100

i defer to participate considering that the NAD C542 may not match up against the more superior CDPs mentioned above. less number of participants would also mean more time to perform exhaustive evaluation of each CDPs strengths and weaknesses.  ;D

Diba dapat amp shootout  ::) Tapos sideshow lang yung cdp?  ::)  Ang daming absent sa mga amps, so pull-out ko nalang yung st70 dahil di na rin makakarating yung dalawang amx. dalhin ko nalang yung amx preamp dahil 3 naman yung line-in nun para "blind test" talaga yung shootout ng cdp, may input selector naman yun.  Mga parekuy, walang cd buffer yung preamp kaya pantay ang labanan.   >:D ;D  Salang kaagad natin yung mga rotel.  >:D tapos 3 track lang tayo. Isang vocals, isang jazz track at yung track 3 or 2 ng round up cd. Mahiya naman tayo dun sa host dahil dapat amp shoot-out, eh. Ok ba sa inyo?

Kung may interesado I can bring my AMX El34 single ended ultralinear (not stc) but this one's under experiment using "boutique" parts--riken grids, auricaps for interstage coupling and ps bypass, jensens coupling, dale cathode resistors, blackgate cathode capacitors, and Transparent interconnect for signal wire.

Ako rin Hans intrigued  kung anong pakinig nyo kasi di ko na matandaan yung tunog ng stock so can't say kung improved or not with the part upgrade. Sa tubes naman ako di pa nakapag NOS--just using svet el34 and Ei 12at7. Actually may naririnig akong problema sa amp na to ngayon pero I'll leave it up to you and others kung sakaling magtugma sa observation ko.

matanong ko lang sir, bakit yong pairing na to will face the loser of match 2? does this mean that the winner of this group will not go to the final round but should face off with the losers 1st before it can face off with the winners? just clarifying....

thnx.


since they are old production (i hate the surplus term) CDPs, i think they should prove their worth first against newer models and hurdle their way up to the finals... my seeding is based on the current pricing and year model of the CDPs, which is quite logical.  ;D

i see your point sir.... and i subscribe to this idea. better if things have a reasonable and logical criterion than a Smorgasbord of contenders, parang free for all, at least yong decision ng judges will not be ac confused one too.

so what will be the main course tom sir? amp or cdp?

kung linestage lang muna, ilan caps & resistors ang papalitan?

Try to replace first PSU caps with Panasonic which has Low ESR bypass with polyprop caps for better filtering.

For linestage, just replace the the two coupling caps like auricap, jensen, etc (it's up to you what you like).

Hmmmmm 7 panasonic caps vs. 2 auricaps.. mas konti sa linestage, pero which is more costly?

sir s2kov, saan kayo kumukuha ng panasonic caps?  sabay ko na rin, balita ko di naman masyado mahal.
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: s2kov on Oct 20, 2004 at 04:49 PM
7 Panasonic caps? Dami ah! Replace the caps for B+ and just retain the caps for heaters. You can get it with RS and Farnell.

If you want, try mo muna replace yung coupling caps.

Also, you can replace the input & output wirings of better cable like Audience. You'll surprise of the outcome. IMHO. :) :)

Very good sample is GARP EL34 SE didn't expect a 8 watter SE can drive a MS908 with clean and clear sound. :)

guys, i've been reading up on the Tungsol 6550 tube.... it seems that there are new production tubes made in Russia (by Sovtek).... the original tube was made in the US in the 1950's.

Sovtek has acquired the rights to the Mullard and Tungsol brand names and have re-issued the Tungsol 6550..... they will also be releasing new production Mullard EL34's :o .....the specs are said to be the same as the original but as to whether they can duplicate the sound of the original remains to be seen..... initial reports from buyers of the new tubes are positive, though strangely i have yet to find a side-by-side comparison between the NIB and NOS.

What is an affordable budget for you guys? I want to build something new, something different but I do not know what most guys would want to pay for a tube amp. Anyone likes pushpull El84s, 15 watts per channel in a very unique looking chassis? I think theEl84 is most affordable and good sounding too. Just let me know and I will try to whip up something I hope you will like that and is very affordable. Sana group orders para cheaper by the dozen. :D

Mr Andrew,

Around 15k to 20k would be enough for a good sounding tube amp. ;D since vintage and new production ( china made ) tube amps cost around 27k to 35k range..

sir how about a power amp?  my budget is 15k (or less).... i already have an AMX preamp so an integrated amp has some added parts/cost i might not need.... if we remove the ALPS volume control and the input selector, and i provide the rectifier and driver tubes, magkano kaya aabutin ng EL84 push-pull?  i have a spare 5U4G rectifier tube, and 2 pairs each of 12au7 and 12ax7 driver tubes.... also wondering if you can do a narrower chassis than the integrated EL84/pp on display in the store?  i prefer the tubes to be closer together similar to my preamp or the duntonic EL84 amp... thanks! more power sir andrew....  ;D

reference pa din natin yung former "precious" mo na Scott, na precious na ngayon ni kimpao, in terms of price/performance on the malambing side @<20k minus the tube upgrades ni master kimpao.

- 2 driver tubes
- 2 volume pots
- 1 led power indicator
- wood trim
- rotary power switch - gawin na lang toggle sa likod ilagay

Ok Guys,

I got the message. You want power! KT88 is powerfull but is kinda expensive, perhaps the most expensive tetrode power tube today. The cheapest power pentode is the EL34 or 6L6GC, pushpull you can get max 40w per side, but the tubes are cheap about half the price of the KT88/6550. Driver tubes I suggest 9 pin types, there is plenty to choose from.  Tube rectified, we can make that optional. For filter caps, to keep the price down we can use Rubicon and coupling caps mybe we can use " orange drops" . I will get back to you and see what figure i get. Basic power amp,  black chassis, no volume controls, just 1 power switch, input sensitivity might be 2.8 volts, you will definetly need a preamp. So we will have 1 driver, 2 power tubes per channel, no negative feedback, optional tube rectifier. I guess this will be neat and simple. Till next posting, let me go to my drawing board, er my computer Tube CAd. 8)

They say one cannot please everybody, but there is no harm in trying. With regards to the PP AMX amp project model 15k, I guess i can be flexible. I can come up with two colors silver or black chassis, brushed aluminum panel, silver or black that would be no problem. As for the power tubes it can be either El34 or KT88 with some minor changes under chassis, ie change of cathode bias resistor. Price target will change a bit with the KT88 driving it higher. But if you are buying it without tubes, price will be the same.
I am hurrying up my accountant so I can declare to you the price. But mind you it will look good but this is a strip model, less the bells and whistles. I am building the prototype after completing my design this week. I hope I can meet the price target you have set, for a minimum run of 10 units. Wish me luck

Update:

I just completed the design. Built and breadboarded the circuit. I used 2 6L6gc and 1 12 ax7 per channel.Zero negative feedback, ultralinear connection, paraphase inverter,  auto bias and I got 28 watts at onset of clipping, flat response from 30 to 15k but extended down to 20Hz and up to 18khz. Sound was mellow and warm as expected from 6L6. You can upgrade this by plugging in KT66 and get that classic tube sound. Input sensitivity for max output was 1.2volts.So you can use a passive preamp and get moderately loud sound on a 90 db sensitive speakers. I ordered also 6L6GC coke bottle. I was told it gives a very warm and sweet sound. 
Next I will try to use EL34. But first I will try to run the 6L6 on 25 watts so it will run cool and really last long.

Will keep you posted. This is getting exciting.

Another update:

Tried good ol EL34, got slightly higher power output, posted  32 watts at clipping, which was rounded on the edge and maxed at 34 watts. Installed an AC balance pot, was able to lower total harmonic distortion down to 0.12% . The AC balance pot allowed me to use unmatched El34s and still trim down the distortion.

Now the sound is glassy and more transparent, and bass extension was lower on my Focal monitors.
I am starting to enjoy it better than the 6L6 but I will go back to it and retest, but as for todays experimentation it looks like El34 is winning.

I was at phasetron awhile ago and was able to auditioned the 6550 + 2 rectifier + hammond tranny+ parlor parts na ata..

Initial impression.. GRABE!! The power 50wpc controlled music passive pot lang ginamit pero very nice airy highs and full vocals na di ko na pinakabit yun active preamp para to gauge its detail sa passive pot lang and hmmm Ganda ng detail easy easy lang sya sa Alon speakers.

Hay kung meron lang moolah at 49k..  ;D ;D ;D ;D guys if you have time give it a try. :)

Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: AMXTube on Dec 14, 2004 at 12:59 AM
The 6L6 has a distincly different sound from the EL34. So most probably I will just make the amp available  with either. I believe that at the end of the day, personal preferences would win. But the El34 is a bit more powerful in cathode bias than the the 6L6. I have not auditioned the amp with a KT66 so at this point I really cannot tell how it sounds. Also infavor of the EL34, it is cheaper than the 6L6. As for the price, I think we are on the target if it is only a basic power amp. I will audition the amp with a 5751 driver tube and also try  the 12AT7. If I use the 12AU7 I have to make some changes in the value of the plate reisitor and cathode resistor as 12AU7 is a medium mu twin triode. I will check out which driver tube will sound best. Will keep you updated.

This amp just arrived this morning here in Zambo City.

Out of the box, this 15-watt el84 pp amp sounded as loud as my Rotel 70 watt amp (RB03) driving the 84db Mordaunt Short 3.10.  The music presentation was very pleasant,  lacking the aggressiveness of the Rotel. This is what I expected from a tube amp. The bass was not as full and deep as the Rotel amp, but is likely to improve after hours of use.
(http://www.nscb.gov.ph/ru9/nscb09.jpg)

Specs:

EL84 Push pull paraphase auto bias amplifier 2 channels, 15 watts per channel, 8 or 4 ohms impedance switchable.
Signal input for mrated output 2.8 Vrms. Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz within 3 db

Tubes: 4 pcs, EL84 Toshiba NOS/NIB, 2 Pcs. 12aX7 Matsucrapa NOS/NIB, 1 pc 5V4 Trigon London NOS/NIB.

This amp just arrived this morning here in Zambo City.

Out of the box, this 15-watt el84 pp amp sounded as loud as my Rotel 70 watt amp (RB03) driving the 84db Mordaunt Short 3.10.  The music presentation was very pleasant,  lacking the aggressiveness of the Rotel. This is what I expected from a tube amp. The bass was not as full and deep as the Rotel amp, but is likely to improve after hours of use.
(http://www.nscb.gov.ph/ru9/nscb09.jpg)

Specs:

EL84 Push pull paraphase auto bias amplifier 2 channels, 15 watts per channel, 8 or 4 ohms impedance switchable.
Signal input for mrated output 2.8 Vrms. Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz within 3 db

Tubes: 4 pcs, EL84 Toshiba NOS/NIB, 2 Pcs. 12aX7 Matsus**ta NOS/NIB, 1 pc 5V4 Trigon London NOS/NIB.

congrats, bro!  nice amp btw.   ;D 

congrats din, sir andrew!  :D  padami ng padami ang merong amx amp, ah...

Agree ako diyan Vince, very good looking and nice sounding amp too. Perfect for a relaxed music experience. It also rocks with Dr. Dre, White Stripes and Metallica :D

The AMX EL 84 pp works with both the Killer passive linestage and the Tono preamp. Volume setting of Tono at 9:00 o'clock will sound the same as 12:00 o'clock volume setting of the Killer.  Since both the Tono and the Killer are kinda neutral, the Tono just adds a very slight revealing presentation. This is maybe due to the additional gain from the Tono. I prefer the sound of the mellower Killer passive.

Tama pala, walang listening fatigue pag naka tube amp. :)

Congrats sir.. as for the aggressiveness i'm sure it can't provide you that at 15watts and EL84 tube w/c are known for there sweet and luscious sound.. hmmm try 6550, KT-88 or EL34 PP will give your Rotel amp a good challenge..  ;D ;D

Again Congrats.. :)

Thank you,  you are right about the EL84. I prefer the sweet and lucious sound.

greetings to all tube fanatics! this is my first time to enter into this forum and I was shock on how many are really interested in tubes. Kay Andrew pa. Anyway, RU9 I got the same el 84 but I have the 12AU7 and a GZ34. I thought my Epos 11 will be too much for the amps but this thing rocks. Well once in a while cuz my comander will complain. I guess that's one way to test if your amp is loud enough. Heh heh. I got a small room and the set up was more like monitors in studio. The most I got out of mine was 2 o'clock in the volume control. Oh yes, that Andrew, I hate him. He ask me to try out my Epos in 4ohms and the rest is sleepless nights. I even txt him in the middle of the night to complain how sweet this baby can be in 4 ohms. He just told me to look at the gray metal part. As long as it does not glow maybe you can do it to your MS. Sabi niya baka mas malapit nakadesign ang Epos for 4ohms. I don't have the pictures...now if Andrew is kind enough to post my baby. Actually she's kinda old. The transformers are almost 50 years old about to be thrown in the garbage dump when somebody suggested that trans of olds sometimes sounds better. That somebody is the same guy I am complain about. Biro mo I napagastos pa lalo ako ng masmaraming LP tsaka CDs!!!
Glad to be in the forum! Merry Christmas!

Hi bz,

Merry Christmas too. 

I am glad that you are enjoying the sweetness of your  AMX EL84 amp.  My amp is set at 8 ohms, it does have the 4ohm tap.  Thank you for your suggestion, I will ask Andrew about this 4 ohm setting.

The budget amplifier is practically done. January the metal works will start and we will start a test run. It will be offered with options even if it is budget it can really look good. But it will be oferred in its basic form. Chassis is about  11"WX14"DX 2.5"H. Compact with 2 12ax7 or 5751, 4 El34 and 1 5u4GB. It will only have a power switch in front, a blue LED, , Gold plated RCA jacks, And gold plated binding post. Impedance selection shall be under chassis, 4, 6, 8 ohms. Standard IEC power inlet.

It sounds good, very good using standard high quality components. No boutique parts, bahala na kayo if you want to dart in exoensive caps and resistors, then hinmdi na budget.. But the amp sounds good because of the circuit simplicity more than anything.

In the mean time I am busy designing a budget preamp, I am listening to it now on its test chassis with the budget EL34 amp. It sings. The preamp has only one twin 6N1P. I section for each channel. I like the sound because it is silky smooth. It has a phono stage, 1 12ax7 per channel, so it is 3 tubes all in all.. Again only standard parts used except the ALPS volume control, but I plan to use a British made potentiometer, which is much cheaper and according to my fried in singapore it has the same sonic performance. Only it does not have the name. But what the heck we want low price and good performance, not names. I know some do not believe in this approach but I think it is possible and sensilble up to a certain level of quality. Merry christmas to you all and have a happy  new year!

I believe 2005 will sound good!

Was just reading this thread and I'm very interested in the budget amps that will soon be coming out.  Right now I have a tube preamp and a SS amp but I feel that my speakers are looking for a push/pull tube power amp. Sana maka-abot sa aming mga "starting" pa lang sa tube experience yung amp na ito.

Tick, tock, tick, tcck . . . .haaay hirap mag-antay!  Will be monitoring for updates na lang. . . . . sama ako sa audition ha.

My Set-up is composed of the following:

Tono preamp using 2 x 12au7 tubes
Harman Kardon PA2000 - 100wpc (bridged mode)
Genesis Image Module 8300 speakers - >100wpc RMS; 3-way non-ported; 4 ohm impedance with fuse for bass extension (goes down to 2.8 ohms); don't know the sensitivity but very good imaging, huge soundstage and very detailed.

Sir, it would be better if you knew the sensitivity of your speakers, the higher the better especially if you'll use it for tube amps. Ganda yan AMX amps, impressive talaga.

Have tried looking for info on the speakers sa web but I couldn't find any.  Even the manual does not contain technical specs.  Is there a way to check or test the specs of the speakers (sensitivity and power handling)? Anyone?  I'm having problems tuloy in matching my speakers with other components.

Thanks

You would need an SPL meter, a signal generator, and other equipment for an accurate measurement. Don't know if there is a shortcut on how to obtain that data.

according to the facts I found on the web, aside from protecting the tube, lessens microphonics and noise. kaya nga sir gusto ko subukan sa isang phono stage kung totoo nga. :)

question lang po, bakit sa phono stage lang ginagamit yan? pwede din ba sa line stage?  ???

Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: Superman on Jan 13, 2005 at 02:17 PM
i think it is because the phono stage has a higher gain, tama ba jojod???

After all the hoopla when those things were first intoduced dami owners nagbebenta ngayon. just asking.

Agree with s2kov and iceman90a

Its not that the Tono is not good anymore but rather we you might say have already "out-grown" it. The Tono was a great introduction to tubes (for me that is) having been silent in music for 3 years the Tono brought my interest to music back again. However bro as I again enjoyed listening to music I begin to explore again - like to try new things, alas but Tono preamp now seems limited. Thus my journey continues - again my next step, a different preamp, one with Bass and Treble, balance control and a working phone stage as well (preparing for a turntable). So now what have I use for 2 preamps - one definitely has to go. But regretably as I may, I have grown to like the sounds of the Tono. :-[ :-[ :-[

Beside this I do need the proceed of my sale of the Tono to finance my new target in my journey  - The Turntable hehehe  >:D >:D

But kidding aside . . . I would recommend the Tono anytime of the day.

Kaya bili nyo na yung Tono ko sa Buy and Sell

AMXtube,

Sir any update?? ;D

The chassis and metal works are now underway. I think baka matapos sa punch and press by first week of Feb. Dami kasi holiday, dont want to pay overtime, baka lumagpas sa budget. Anyway the circuits are done, and is now playing in my home in atemporary chassis. I am happy with the outcome, to think na wala akong ginamit na "boutique" parts. All standard but good quality. Pwede pala yon. Anyway you can always install the expensive caps, its your ear and its your money. But as for now I am happy with the sound using the mini version of the contodo preamp, that is no cd input buffer and no phono stage.

Keeping you posted. Malapit na. Hintay ko na lang ang tubes, dito na, hold pa nang customs, need to get ICC, bagong rule bigla, nasunog kasi yong bahay sa dasma, lahat ng electrical and electronic products kailangan daw ng ICC (Import Commodity Clearance.)

Yes at last labas na lahat after almost a month of gestation. Nakakainis pero wala tayong magagawa dapat magbago.

First sample chassis also done, we are now assembling the first test unit from our prototype. BTW I added a TRIODE MODE switch, ganda kasi pag naka TRIODE MODE, kahit 15watts/channel lang, pero ganda. Sa ULpentode, 27.5 watts/ch. Bahala na ang user to choose, it will also depend on the loudspeaker sensitivity and how loud he wants to listen. Pero the triode mode is great for me.

3. Volume control lang.. no balance, bass or treble necessary
4. 3 input capability

Chief, pwede yan. Sound wise, big improvement.  My scott 222A is currently connected to an AMX preamp. Better mids and highs.  Composure and soundstage is nice. Detail and separation of instruments are precise although sometimes instruments can be very analytical at first (i guess this depends on what tubes you're using).  :)

Can you connect a pre-amp to an integrated amp? You can but it is possible to overdrive the integrated amp,> It is possible to have too much audio gain, but it will all depend on the charcteristic of the integrated amp and the gain of the pre=amp. But at the end of the day, why should you? Is your integrated amp lacking in audio gain ? If so then feel free.

Levi,

AMX have 2 kinds of integrated 1 with passive volume pot and 1 with linestage. so yun passive pot is like power amp na meron volume control just like my amp and jetok's amp.

was in phasetron yest, saw several amps there, there was one particular PP that was already sold, priced at 38k ata that got my attention and that 16.5k amp..... wasnt able to audition them thought.

saw 2 ata din a power amps lang (without the volume pot). all were priced below 30k.

my fault sir, didnt notice that it was only the 25 watter that is tube rectified, and the kt88 SS pala.... i did saw it to, and i have noticed na mukhang ala rectifier yong kt88............  sayang kung tube rec e2, it wud be a steal for its price  :o

For your appreciation and information:

Our new EL34 budget integrated amp that is coming out very soon , is equipped with an active line stage. It is no longer a power amp with a passive line stage preamp. This is code named: APOLLO 2The circuit topology is very different from the amplifiers we built before. The line stage preamp uses a 6NIP or may be upgraded to 6DJ8. The phase inverter topology uses the floating paraphase scheme, and the power supply uses both a tube rectifier and high speed diodes together.

The budget EL34 basic power amp , code named APOLLO 1 , has no volume control and will need a separate preamp to drive it to full power.

APOLLO 1 and 2 will also be available in premium models, fitted out with Auricaps, NOS driver tubes, JJ Filter capacitors, fully chrome plated chassis and transformer covers. Of course the price will be higher but will still affordable.

Also in the test lab is our new passive gain line preamp. It uses an inductor to increase the gain from 250mv (CD output) to 1 volt (power amp input) No tubes and no power requirement. Check this out soon. CHEERS!

 ano ba ibig sabihin ng ss rectified at tube rectified.
ano ba naitutulong nito?i'm beginning to read as much about the Tube and SS Amps because i'm planning to buy one. Ano bang magandang tube o kaya ss integrated amp?Budget is 25k only.

From the Net:

8) What's the difference between tube and solid state rectifiers?

        The rectifier circuit in an amplifier converts the Alternating Current (AC) from the wall outlet to Direct Current (DC) required for operating the various circuits inside the amp. Originally, this conversion or "rectification" was accomplished using a vacuum tube rectifier, also known as a dual diode. Later with the advent of solid state technology, the rectification process was accomplished much more efficiently and less costly with silicon diodes. Besides the cost, one of the primary advantages of the silicon diode is its low voltage drop. Because of this characteristic, the solid state rectifier supply responds much more quickly to the increased current demand created when the amplifier is driven to full output. This gives the amplifier a tight , crisp and dynamic response. The tube rectifier exhibits a much higher internal voltage drop, which in turn causes the power supply voltage to sag when the amplifier is driven hard. We experience this sag as a natural sounding compression, which seems to give the amp a breathing, bouncy quality. In addition the tone will appear to sound softer or more rounded with increased sustain. Today we find that both the tube and solid state rectifiers have a valid application in helping to enhance the personality of a given amplifier design.

Hi Andrew,

Please clarify, if this is passive, why the gain?  Can this be matched with a CD player with an output of 2V. Is this compatible with amplifiers with an input sensitivity of 1volt.

Thanks.

Louie

Post by: JojoD818 on Mar 09, 2005 at 12:29 AM
RU9,

I believe Andrew is pertaining to a transformer coupled passive preamp that uses a step-up transformer. Probably a multi-tapped transformer (TVC) or a fixed ratio type tranny fed by a pot. Sounds very good indeed.

Cheers

i think this is the preamp my gainclone needs >:D
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: AMXTube on Mar 09, 2005 at 09:23 AM
Yes exactly, it is passive, it means no transistors, IC or tubes and no need to power up. But it has gain, by reason of electromagnetic induction or in short it has a small step up voltage transformer.  How it works is it steps up the 150-300mv from your CD player to about 750mv- 1 volt so it can drive in inputs of a power amplifier. It sounded great witha solid state poweramplifier. But it needs some fixing in the response region. I hope to succeed in extending the frequency response.

Major difference of Solid State Rectifier versus Tube Rectifiers: As I have measured and observed.
Solid State Rectifier                                                       Tube Rectifiers

Lower over all cost                                                        More expensive of course
Not easily tweakable power supply                              Easy to tweak or "tube roll"
lower impedance, improves damping deeper bass       Higher impedance lower damping softer bass character
More efficient                                                                Produces more heat for transformers
Can use high value capacitors for better dynamics      Limited capacitor value, increase hum and noise
later clipping due to better voltage regulation             Softer clipping but earlier onset due to sag of B+ at high

Excellent choice sir Andrew! I made some experiments with those TVCs and AVCs some years ago, those Western Electric application sheets I read said that the core is the key to bandwidth and something like magnetic flux problems. Unfortunately those papers were lost when I changed address.  :(

More power to you and good luck sir!

nice amp sir andrew, thanks for letting me borrow it....  i listened at low volume up to 3am in the morning, typical volume constraint in my living environment....  speakers used were mordaunt-short 908 and wharfedale diamond 9.1, source used were SACD, DVD-A and CD with a pioneer 733A.

(http://203.131.66.146:8080/session6.jpg)

sound was refined, the mids & highs are very natural, not once did it sound harsh; and bass goes pretty low at moderate volume (Ann Sally has lots of low bass).... mids/highs are similar to my Duntonic amp, though at louder volume it has more power reserve and a bit faster.... Jazz at the Pawnshop had a lot of ambient detail and the instruments have good separation..... i would have liked to spend more time on critical listening, but decided to just enjoy it, played Ray Charles, Linda Rondstadt, Natalie Merchant, Buble, Connick, Ono, Teng, Mishka Adams, etc. etc. etc. etc....... after months of analog, digital makes a comeback in my listening room.

Jazz at the Pawnshop had a lot of ambient detail and the instruments have good separation..... i would have liked to spend more time on critical listening, but decided to just enjoy it, played Ray Charles, Linda Rondstadt, Natalie Merchant, Buble, Connick, Ono, Teng, Mishka Adams, etc. etc. etc. etc....... after months of analog, digital makes a comeback in my listening room.

KimosabE, di ko masyado na-try sa ratratan kasi medyo late na oras na, pero yun mga boys yata nag Twisted Sister sa session, hmmm busy yata ako nun sa gulaman (?) hindi ako nakikinig nun eh.... ang pinakamalakas na tugtog ko magisa ay "Jazz at the Pawnshop" pero usual moderate volume lang.... mas ok kung audition mo with ur CDs, para sakin iba kasi ang requirements ng rock, more on rhythm, scale, weight, etc. kailangan mas malakas ang volume.

got the chance to drop by phasetron earlier this evening to drool over their amps. first up was the el34 integrated (ss-rectified) driving the celestions (87db) playing stacey kent. volume was only at 9 o'clock but the music was already way loud. no harshness whatsoever; just pure playful stacey kent.

next up was the kt-88 integrated driving the same speakers and playing the same song. though i noticed that the volume was at somewhere like 10 o'clock to achieve the same level as the el34.

last was an integrated set amp driving a pair of all-black mid-height floorstanders.  stacey kent never sounded more lush and alive!

i am by no means an audio techie...but i loved what i heard! wish i could have stayed longer to hear the other amps (i counted around 10 integrateds, 2 powers and 2 preamps).

had the pleasure of meeting and chatting a bit with the man himself, mr. andrew sevilla.

hope to drop by again soon and stay a bit longer (and bring my cds). thank you sir!

for point of "general" comparison lang mga sirs.  how would you compare amx tubes over consonance and audio space?

sir hans, i've read that you already own an amx but you seem very exicited about this new one.  if i may ask, what improvements are you expecting?   i couldn't help being excited as well when i read your posts.  and for the price naatat na rin akong magkaroon ng int tube amp   ;D

though i would agree with you that there is a basic design foundation (not only in tubes), i don't agree that they are "almost" the same except for the looks.  indeed that same parts may be used but it doesnt mean that merely owning any tube amp will guarantee  that it will sound better than other SS or sound the same with other branded tube amps.  the term signature sound exists for this reason  ;)

i would agree though with hans that it depends on taste/preference just like any other component in an audio setup.  so if it depends on taste, there are differences in sound.  and we all know this "preference thing" since we started this hobby years back.  if there are preferences, there are differences.  :)

what i "think" makes amx intresting and better is that mr. andrew sevilla is designing and building these amps with filipino audiophiles in mind - great sound (comparable or better than other tube amps - dictated by preference) at great price (dictated by filipino wallets)!  keep up the good work mr andrew!   8)

let us talk more serious now.................

IMHO, now that you're so curious how different brands differ in sound, i advice you to leave that mind boggling question first.

I advise you to focus on the characteristics of the tubes used in an amp. when i say tubes, i refer to the output tubes. ignore the driver and rectifier tubes in the meantime as they will become interesting only when you are already familiar with the output tubes.

reason: you may be comparing brands but of different output tubes. hahaha. ibang iba talaga tunog nyan.

know the distinction between these tubes: EL34, EL84, 6550, KT88, 2a3, 300b

Note: Almost all, if not all tubes, have tube equivalent. These equivalents too may sound different.

Next, you have to understand circuit design. not necessarily on how to make an amp but on the characteristics of some designs like Single Ended Triode (know what triode tubes are) and Pushpull (UL/Triode) configuration.

Brand for me is the last thing to consider. ofcourse, one thing that is nice about branded gears is their high resale value.

Read............read audition and audition........ then know your preference.

cheers!

Post by: Audioboy on May 16, 2005 at 04:05 PM
mga sirs,

sonically, what's the difference between the budget el34 amp and the non-budget one?

For your appreciation and information:

Our new EL34 budget integrated amp that is coming out very soon , is equipped with an active line stage. It is no longer a power amp with a passive line stage preamp. This is code named: APOLLO 2The circuit topology is very different from the amplifiers we built before. The line stage preamp uses a 6NIP or may be upgraded to 6DJ8. The phase inverter topology uses the floating paraphase scheme, and the power supply uses both a tube rectifier and high speed diodes together.

The budget EL34 basic power amp , code named APOLLO 1 , has no volume control and will need a separate preamp to drive it to full power.

APOLLO 1 and 2 will also be available in premium models, fitted out with Auricaps, NOS driver tubes, JJ Filter capacitors, fully chrome plated chassis and transformer covers. Of course the price will be higher but will still affordable.

Also in the test lab is our new passive gain line preamp. It uses an inductor to increase the gain from 250mv (CD output) to 1 volt (power amp input) No tubes and no power requirement. Check this out soon. CHEERS!

odyopal,

Your right you can try to side by side this budget amp with a china tube for half the price iba ito.. initial impression was very good given some warm up ( around 8 tracks ) the amp will blow you out. ( would love it more if Svetlana EL34 tube were use ) you'll not believe that its a budget amp. 8)

yes, i had the tube rectified version for a couple of days.  from my initial impressions, i requested for some changes, so the amp i have is kinda unique (hehehe).  andrew texted me today from singapore that he may replace some parts on the stock to same parts i used...apparently, he liked the modded version too  :)

circuit is intact with 6n1p and pair 5751.  used another NOS pair (forgot which brand).  only six caps upgraded...plus two other additional tweaks (time delay and hexfreds).

(actually, this amp was originally for a friend on a tight budget.  he got another amp, so am keeping this.  buti na lang  ;))

circuit is intact with 6n1p and pair 5751.  used another NOS pair (forgot which brand).  only six caps upgraded...plus two other additional tweaks (time delay and hexfreds).

(actually, this amp was originally for a friend on a tight budget.  he got another amp, so am keeping this.  buti na lang  ;))

the following were done on the amp:

1. replaced 4 coupling caps to 0.1uf/600v Illinois Caps

(http://www.vacuumtube.com/icmwr.JPG)

2. replaced 2x2.5uf orange drops to 3uf/600v Wondercap (vintage, used in Audible Illusions).  this may be hard to find.  i believe you can use 3.3uf illinois caps too.

3. NOS sylvania 5751 replaced with NOS RCA 5751 Command Series Black Plate Triple Mica

(http://i24.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/13/33/18_2.JPG)

4. rectifiers replaced with  IXYS DSEI 12-12A  1200 volts max 11 amps HEXFREDS

(http://www.vacuumtube.com/diodes1.JPG)

5. time delay circuit installed with diode for soft start

andrew did 1,2,5.  i supplied 1,2.  i did 3,4.  andrew says, he will make 1 standard in his amps.

June,

although i'm not hans and jo...let me try to answer...YES, by all means andrew will accomodate that...in fact you have an option to supply the boutique parts or if he has stocks, he can supply it for you...just ask for the exact specs needed...in my case, i have supplied the auricaps for my amp...even the tubes...you can buy the amps also without the tubes...although there would be a need to give the tubes to andrew in advance for proper calibration...hope this answers your concern...thanks!

It would be best  to buy the stock version first since its already a good amp and enjoy it for a couple of months tapos pag na outgrown mo na yun amp then time for tweaks ( upgrade to boutique/parlor parts)  for sure you'll have an idea what tweak you like to be done to your amp. :)

others naman if budget permits would get the turbo version ( parlor parts ) na , kaya depends on you at least meron ka flexibility and variety.  :)

It has been a long time since I login. I always knew Andrew is the guy who can satisfy many a Filipino ears. Indeed a true patriotic guy (kung alam nyo lang ang patriotism ni Andrew went beyond that and was a street fighter before many of you were born). I don't think his amps can satisfy Filipino ears and budget only. I believe his amps are quite competitive to foreign made. We have been bombarded by mass commercialism that we always thought foreign is better. This has always been the case why we can't go beyond what our country can do.
Enough for that. Now, for those lucky guys like me who was abble to get old transformer from junk shops will be another way to lessen the cost. As posted before, I got these old Hitachi transformers and old national el34 and ask Andrew to make me an integretated amp. It has a triode switch. I thought the sound will be better with the triode mode but it didn't work for me. The el sounded nicer without the triode mode. For all newbies who wanted to buy tube amps, may I suggest you just go ahead and jump into it. For 16 to 17 K what other integrates can you compare with? Practically yun na ang presyo ng parts. Siyempre add the labor. Eh, assuming kumuha ka ng isang technician and pay him 300 to 400 a day to assemble a tube amp and if he spend 10 days on it that's about 5000 pesos na. Hindi ka pa sure kung ayos. In other words......GUMISING KAYO!!!! IT IS VERY VERY REASONABLE! You are actually paying  for the ingenuity and years of experience sulit kana. Another thing is that start with the basic and tweak it as you grow in your listening needs. Ang ibig kong sabihin ay tweak mo na lang kung sa tingin mo may kulang and when budget allows ..... parang dagdag bawas heheheh. If in case you want to upgrade to a single ended or whatever fancy and expensive dreams eh bakit mo pa ibebenta yan. At 16 k, ilalagay ko na lang sa kitchen or sa c.r. Kung ibenta mo naman hindi maglalayo sa ibinili mo. Piyesa lang mahal na. My el34 are more than 30 yrs old na and still rocking my room!!! GISINNNNG!

oks yun el34 bro, pero hindi din naman natin pwede isang tabi yun 6L6 dahil ito ang madalas na gamit nun panahon pa ng mga Beatles band na discerning din ang taste sa tube sound. Tama si kOyA hans kasi medyo vintage na yun 6L6, and so medyo modern na yun EL34.

Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: AMXTube on Jul 31, 2005 at 09:31 PM
The 6L6 family is a very old tube type. I believe audio was preety young, when this tube was developed in the USA. People in the audio industry wanted something more powerful than a triode, 2A3's or 300A or 300B. So this "Beam Power Tetrode was developed, it was known as 807, and had the Plate connection on top because of the high voltage requirement. From this design the 6L6 evolved. Several variants soon were developed , 6L6G and then 6L6GB and finally the 6L6GC, also the 5881 cam into the picture.> It was so successful that most amplifiers made in the USA used this tube to great extent from 1930 to the late 1970. Users of 6l6 where McIntosh, Scott, Fisher, Heath, Eico etc. and many many guitar amplifiers used them too like Fender, Ampeg.
Meanwhile in Europe, anothe tube was making the raves, that was the EL34. The EL34 IS A PENTODE, SLIGHTLY DIFFENT FROM 6L6 which is A BEAM TETRODE, but pratically just as efficient. But as competition goes it was a one upmanship game, the EL34 had a higher plate voltage (800V) versus the 6L6GC and had a higher power rating. It was so popular in Europe that the Americans made its own version too, the 6CA7. This tube was popularized in the US by Dynaco in its famous ST70s.

They are different tubes therefore they sound different too. They have the same PIN connections but differnt ratings and bias requirements, but they are are also similar in some aspects.

Although the 6L6 was introduced by RCA in 1936, it was widely believed that RCA licensed it from the British company M-OV. A year earlier, a British valve called the "Harries Valve" (named after it's inventor) is already being sold where the 6L6 became a descendant of.

An American tube with British origins :D

The 6L6 family is a very old tube type. I believe audio was preety young, when this tube was developed in the USA.

A year later, M-OV released the KT66, which is popular with QUAD and LEAK amplifiers of that time.

that's what I like with 6L6.  lots of variants, and if your amp allows, can tube roll a lot.  and not very expensive -- except kt66 perhaps ;).

For me, for the tube newbie it's safer to go for EL-34, because it has more power than two you can use whatever speakers you want (possible to share your speakers with your HT). I bet All of the amplifiers mentioned above sings well, but it all depends on your preference and equipment matching. 
If I'm not mistaken these are the power ratings of the following:
el-84 ------10 - 12 watts
6l6  ------- 18 - 22 watts
el34 ------- 30 - 40 watts
(assuming PP configuration)
After the tube you will never listen to music with your SS Amp (Receiver). Of course high-end class A amp, sounds as pretty as tubes. But this is just me. You will never know the truth unless you hear it by yourself. Audition! Audition! Audition!
Try to join some listening session! Ask Superman & Hans Adrian for their experties & experiences with tubes!

it also depends on what type of music you're listening. some AMX owners here prefer EL34 because of its versatility... pwede pang vocals... pwede pang rock.... just my dos centimo.

ianmorales...if i were you, bring your favorite CDs or LPs and try out the 3 amps, then whatever appeals to you then get it...agree with the replies that maybe the EL-34 may capture your taste...but again, audition is the key...who knows, you may like a 6550 or KT-88 :D :D :D

ianmorales,

tama silang lahat... pero ikaw pa din ang masusunod kaya audition it personally para you can decide which you need.

sabi nga nila... versatile ang EL34...

ok sana yun 6550 o KT88 kaso hindi yata kasama sa budget amp lineup yun pero I'm sure you can afford it since very competitive ang prices ng AMX.

Oooops! did I say EL 34? sorry guys I thnk what I have pala are EL84s. Dyahe! on the other hand, I still stand to what I said and that is start simple and go big if wallet allows. By the way, Andrew, is the project for tube 5.1 on the way na ba? You mentioned that you will start with stereo amps and an upgradable scheme to make them into a full blown 5.1 theater system. Now wouldn't that be neat for all of us. Can you imagine also a tube powered sub-woofer? Yung bang tipong tunog ng doublebass ay naramdaman mo!

Sir Hans,

Thanks for the info. I've seen the budget EL34 PP and the build is excellent (actually, all the amps I saw there were built really good). I didn't audition kc baka nde na ako makatulog ;D I also saw an amp that looks like the budget EL34. Ito na ba yung pumped-up na EL34 w/ Sir VD's mods? I didn't quite inspect it, but the price is higher.

Also, pag ba nagpalit ng tubes ang AMX amps kailangan pang "i-bias" ulit?

TIA :)

Thanks for the advise hans, I thought so too, since I currently have a 50wpc ss amp and, while it's good, more power will do wonders.

I was just wondering since I once auditioned an 8wpc TS Audio tube amp with the tinos and it sounded good enough although for the most part my setting was at 12 o clock, sometimes more.

RE the monoblocks, does amx also have a matching pre-amp and for how much?

6146, yeah tried this tube na. This is NOS and that's it. No more kasunod. This tube was discontinued  a long time ago, when the EL34 and KT88 came into the market. And at 750 volts HV supply the power transformer, capacitors and output transformer will not turn out to be budget.  Mura ang tube, pero mas mahal and caps mo.Sayang!

Post by: AMXTube on Sep 22, 2005 at 10:05 PM
we are not in a position as yet to report to you the price of the el84 amp, as the thing is still in the works. The metal work is a critical price point, as well as the cost of the transformers. The cost of copper wire is volatile upwards. so we are securing the magnet wires so we can hold our cost. I will post immediately, hopefully by next week the price of the el84. It will be available in two variants, one with volume control only fo the "purist", and another with tone controls ( aka: bass and treble) for the free spirited listener, who listens to music the way he wants to. will keep you posted!
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: AMXTube on Sep 22, 2005 at 10:12 PM
Louie, nice to hear from you. To drive up to 30 watts you will need to use 4 el84's per channel, in pushpull parallel configuration. I will have to design a new output transformer with a 4kohm anode to anode impedance and of course a hefty power transformer. If you are interested I could make an estimate for your consideration.
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: bruno on Sep 23, 2005 at 07:15 AM
Sir Andrew, I saw some new production el34 Mullards in your store.  I believe New Sensor (maker of Svetlana) purchased the trade name Mullard a few years ago.  Judging from the construction of the Mullard (new production) and the Svetlana, they are exactly identical except for the color of the base.  Are these new production Mullards just rebadged Svets?
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: AMXTube on Sep 24, 2005 at 12:00 AM
I do not think it is just a rebadge. Mike Mathew of NewSensor must have paid lots of money not only for the name but also for the patents and desighn. There is a difference in electrical output in my test, ergo the sound is different. Just like in the old days, the Philips El34 sounded different and measured different from the El34 mullards. Even when you check out the data books, they exhibit slightly different interelectrode capacitance, which causes  the primary difference in sound quality. Now which sounds better is totally subjective. 
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: ianmorales on Sep 24, 2005 at 12:22 AM
sir andrew, i just want to ask if how much is your el34 budget amps?

I really want your amps the design and the quality of the sound that your amps produce. Im planning to buy,  but i have to save some money pa to buy it. KONTI NA LANG MALAPIT NA ME MAGKA AMX!!!!!

Thanks for the reply Sir Andrew. In your opinion, which sounds better?

In my humble opinion, the Mullard sounds fuller than both the S Svetlana and the winged C. But honestly I could not distingush the difference between the S svetlana and the winged C. According to my Original Mullard manual their EL34 could be of service up to 8,000 hours at maximum rating, and when derated like 25 watt power output for a pair of El34 you could get more than 10,000 hours. I have a pair of original Mullards from the 1960 it it sounds like the new Mullard.   Now if the New Mullard is made exactly as the old Mullard then I think it is a very good tube Cto use, considering that the NOS is very very expensive if available at all.

No problem about the changes because we are about to bring out the second edition of the El34 entry level integrated amp. I will keep you posted about the exact price when my accountant finalizes the cost of the cosmetic changes we are doing. Yes it will have "Blue LEDS" and more than one. I think it will look stunning in the dark. We are removing the red rocker switch.

In my subjective evaluation i would tend to compare the differences much alike the differences between 6L6 and EL34 wherein the 6550 is a stronger 6L6 and the KT88 a stronger version of the El34. Drive wise, the kt88 is easier to drive than the 6550. The KT88 has more pronounce detail, whereas the 6550 seem a tad more dynamic. Again I do not like to say that this is gospel truth but just subjective observations made on the same amp during my tube rolling sessions.

tried my amx el34 amp with the following floorstander speakers:

monitor audio b4
wharfedale pacific evo 30
modaunt short 908
wharfedale 9.6
triangle heliade es
dali ikon 6
triangle antal xs

the above mentioned speakers were driven with ease and gusto.  my amx is an integrated push-pull el34 tube rectified at 25wpc.

Thank you jetok for sharing with us which loudspeakers can be used well with the AMX El34 Integrated amplifier.
I do read the handwriting on the wall however. Most , well at least in this forum, like rock, rnb music, which I agree must be played loud. I guess I am in he right course in developing our next project, the 6550 budget amp, around 50 cool watts per channel and a 70 watt per channel KT90 amp. We are reviving our 100 watts PPP El34 too.

sir andrew, congrats on the new projects...any estimate on the price range of the new 6550 PP budget amp? is this solid state or tube rectified? will the circuit be similar to the 6550 amp that i have right now (which you designed as well)? thanks again for all the help! :D

Since it is budget it is not exactly like your amp. It will use 9 pin miniature tubes like 12au7 NOS Japan, and definitely no boutique parts, but definitely premium high quality. Chassis is smaller and more compact, to lower the price also. Output tubes will be Russian made, controls Alps Japan (NOS), some resistors are carbon composition, NOS. Definitely SS power supply with hich capacitance filter to give you good dynamics.A few things I can share just to give you a glimps of what is to come.

brought home a sweet sounding el-84/6bq5 AMX (SS rectified) power amp for a
small bedroom setup last week.

great value for the price! it actually sounds great
with my living room/main setup as well. very lively, involving
sound. it's provides a great variety to my triode, tube rectified
amps.

keep up the good work! and we hope you will keep your prices
at reasonable levels always ;D

btw, do you do custom built gear? what are the terms
and conditions for circuits you may not be familiar with?
e.g. thorsten loesch WE 417a based phono stage circuit
from audio asylum?


cheers!

Hi Jetok!

OT lang po. pasintabi lang po.

I heard from our friend na malapit nga lang ako sa yo...last night, he even tagging me along to your place para pakilala sayo at mag-tube session, but i got home late from an out of town trip... pm your cel no., let's see this friday evening.  kaya lang di pa fully broken in ha.

Thanks, hope to meet you this friday!

Glad you liked the el84 amp. I liked it myself and it inspired me to to produce several units. WE417, should not be a problem as long as we could get the tubes, we could do it, i like to think. If I am not familiar i will familiarize. Thanks tuff for your recen purchase and thanks to all of you guys with AMX amps. Enjoy the Music without breaking your bank books, if you can.

Saw the new tube amps at the Hifi Show this afternoon and i love the face plate of the amps this time, aluminum including the knobs... with clear glass in front of the the driver tubes with a matching blue light... you should check out the new look for yourself... heard the Sonatina, the EL84 model....great sounding.... but i failed to check the prices. :'(

Congrats Andrew!  New models in time for the holidays!
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp

thank you for visiting the AMX suite. The AMX Sonatina EL84 has a show price of P12,000.00 net only. Built for the pinoy ears and pinoy pockets too. I hope many more could afford this amp which has high "WAF" (Wife approval factor!) Something I learned today. Hehe. Thanks to all the pinoy dvd guys, my source of inspiration. :

P12k is a steal for an EL84-based PP tube amp nowadays when the parts' prices are increasing! 

Guys --- if you could only see the new looks of the actual units, that P12k is really way way low!  and mind you, the sound is not P12K!

EL84 sounds great, pero kung may extra budget ako i'll get the higher model EL34, EL34 has more power , i think its worth the upgrade (fr EL84-EL84, but of course you have to hear it for yourself), I was able to audition the 4 new models during the show. personal preferance ko ung EL34 at KT88, sounds perfect for me. But I am very happy with my EL84 for now. I ask the maker to modify it for me and put pre-amp/sub output with minimal cost for the RCA connector at the back.

sanmig_ph,

better ask mr. andrew himself,  he can recommend what is best with your speakers and how much it will cost.  also an option is if you can bring your speakers to phasetron and listen to it with an amx el34 amp.  :)

very accomodating yan si andrew and his staff sa shop nya.  :)

Im just a newby in tube, and discovering  the wonderfull world of tubes. I came from a HT set-up and fed up with those octopus like wires. Im quite satsfied with it and trying to discover more listening techniques.  Il just post my review soon. But for the moment ill just listen to my el84.. :)

Iyong AMX EL84 + "Killer" passive linestage - panalo sa rock.

90% rock music ang piniplay ko.

Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Cream/Eric Clapton, Allman Bros. etc

Iyong Pioneer Int Amp at Rotel RB-03 amp, hindi ko ginagamit, mas maganda kasi ang AMX EL84.

OK rin ito sa hip-hop at dance, DR Dre, Tupac, Madonna (Greatest hits 2/confessions), Eminem etc
Galing ng bass, talagang bumabanat ang REL sub.

After more than 2 weeks with my amx el84 here is my findings.
sound quality is better after break in for a peiod of one week na walang patayan. sound is even better after i replace my speaker cables (internal and external), i am using MQ quarts bookshelf,  more details and natural sounds now ( i cant believe my mbq will sound like that, there are details compare to ss amp that is used before. i am more satisfied).

my recommendation, break in your tube amp for a period of time (5-7 days of playing is enough, i guess). then replace those speaker cable with a better quality cable.

sirs, pls correct me if im wrong, the amx el84 amp is named Sonatina and the amx el34 amp is Vivace. What i was suggesting is for the amx people to have different versions of a particular amp to cater to different budgets and preferences. example- amx el84 stock, el84 using NOS, el84 sovtek, el84 sylvania auricaps cerafine etc. Or if not ready made versions, to present upgrade path or modification options to make life easier for the end-users, esp. newbie tuberos who dont know the ins and outs of the tube hobby. hindi na kailangan magtanong o sumaliksik pa what brand to replace the stock tubes, capacitors resistors etc. d ba mas ok if sa product catalog - aside from specs and features etc, may listahan na rin ng mga parts they can be changed or modified. if amx can tailor-made amps, why not present it instead of waiting for people to ask.

it is available...that's the reason why andrew would want to talk to the "buyer" before he buys because he would normally discuss several options, and in fact, give you free lecture...in my experience, he has asked me what tubes i want, if new production or NOS, if i want premium parts or not...hope this clears it out...thanks!

please help me guys, i just started setting up my HT june 2004, it was a denon avr1604 and a set of def tech cinema pro80, just this november i replaced my avr with hk avr335. my problem is, am still confused in the setting of my sub's crossover frequency, i set my avr335 crossover to 60hz since it's the freq range of pro monitor80 and i dont have problem with it's sounds, my question is, in what xover freq should i set my pro sub 150hz or 40hz to produce a much blended bass?  another thing where can i buy those test cd's/dvd's?  thanks!

OT:

Try setting the sub's Xover higher than the receiver's. Para alang butas.

pare, thanks! had it mixed up...key here is for the buyer to have a talk with andrew before he/she buys...1st step maybe is to research on preferred amp, then maybe audition similar amps or similar sounding amps...thanks atty! :D


it is available...that's the reason why andrew would want to talk to the "buyer" before he buys because he would normally discuss several options, and in fact, give you free lecture...in my experience, he has asked me what tubes i want, if new production or NOS, if i want premium parts or not...hope this clears it out...thanks!

paging amxtube...member here requesting for AMX catalog...thanks!

We have tried to simplify the product line. So all our regular models  use high quality premium  parts ( not boutique parts like Cerafines, Auricaps etc.), to mention we use  Illinois caps, Svetlana tubes, Matshucrapa , Spragues, JJ, Nichicons and rubycons for caps. Matshusita high quality pots etc. All our transformers however, output and power use only high quality silicon cores, interleaved windings one of the worlds best copper wire, from virgin ores, wound in house  with our very specific specifications. Our amps will not sound good without it. So we try to put the quality  where it will  most count.  When anyone desires  expensive boutique parts, NOS tubes, he has to make an order for it because most likely it will be very expensive, and majority cannot afford it. That is the reason we came out with our regular models . Even other brands dont use this boutique parts as standards due to price constraints.
Just tell me what you desire and we will roll it up for you, with pleasure. Price listing will be difficult as the prices for these boutique parts vary with availability, but are always expensive, like 50 US for a 12AX7 RCA black plates, 100 US for one Amperex bugle boy EL84. My suggestion is you get our standard units, then upgrade. Mind you, that you will need a critical mass of upgrades to really notice any further  improvement.

pasensya na po wala po talaga ko kc alam, ang alam ko lang is mag sounds e... :-[

salamat po

Dear AMX,
You don't mind asking you this in this thread but because this seems to be in relation to tubes also.
I read from somewhere that having equalizers is distorting the sound being reproduced. Is this a correct statement? This statement seems to make me feel a little bit uneasy. For me, some CDs or even LPs needs to be equalize to bring out that balance that I desire. Whether it is my subjective observation that maybe I am loosing a good pair of ears or the room that I am listening causes this imbalance, I find that there is a need to have them equalized. If the sound engineers uses tons of equalizing before we got the final CD and LP, why are we so allergic to have an equalizer in our system? Am I being “baduy”? So be it. Can you make a tube equalizer and how much will it cost?
thanks,
bz

Dear Bz

I can understand your frustration. Tone controls and equalizers are so anathema to many high end listeners. But funny, a tube phono preamp is an eq amp. it has to be pre-equalized correctly under the RIAA standard. Now many resort to twaeks to get that sound that they are looking for. Many cables exhibit high capacitance, which tend to roll off high frequencies, some cables exhibit a slight inductance which will therfore accentuate low frequencies to a certain extent. During the "Golden Age of Hifi"few people resorted to "tweaks" to get their desired tonal balance because their preamps had tone controls. But many will say this is a form of distortion. Well it will depend on how you will look at it. If the recording is perfect, and your loudspeakers are perfect sitting in an acoustically perfect room, then adding any tone control is adding distortion, distortion meaning anything that does not please your perfect ears. But "audio life" is far from being perfect. Sensual pleasure (acoustic kind that is) is what we ultimately seek. So if you will ask me, go ahead equalize,or  tweak till your ear brain combination reaches its acoustic orgasm or at least gets tickled.If you reach your "nirvana" then it is yours to keep. What the heck, its the music and the sound we are all after, no matter how you get it. Dont suffer not to listen to your fav artist because the CD is badly done when you can do a little to make it at least acceptable.
Yes we can build tube equalizers, they used to be very costly items found only in studios then, called "Acoustic Baton," but today we have the technology, but many gurus say its distortion! Really?JUST FOLLOW YOUR EARS!

guyz im new here........

just want to ask some expert here

i have bose accoustimass 16 HT speakers and a yamaha rxv1300 avr. gusto ko lang dagdagan ng tube amplifiers.......... anong class na tube amplifier ang dapat kung idagdag para lalong gumanda ang voice quality.....and kindly include na rin ang price range.

thanks you.
Title: Re: AMX Integrated Tube Amp
Post by: eXg on Dec 09, 2005 at 05:04 PM
i don't consider myself an expert but here's what i think....

first, are the accoustimass satellite speakers connected to the subw?  how is the yam rxv connected to the Bose set?

if in case these sats are directly connected to the yam rxv like regular speakers, you can either replace the receiver with all tube amp (5-6 ch) or put in place a multichannel preamp/buffers.  but this requires decoding in the dvdplayer.  will it improve the voice quality?  maybe or maybe not.

btw, am assuming you're trying to reuse what you have and add on tube equipment into you HT setup.

if you're looking for a stereo setup, do consider a totally separate setup (amp, speakers).

ccc,
I started with an EL84 and the tubes that were even bought together with the transformer in thrift shop. It was rusty and dusty all over. Brought it to AMX and after a few weeks.....magic!!!! Connected it to my EPOS 11, NAD 502 cd player, lots of lp players such as dual, JVC now finally with a Sansui SR 838. Most of my listening now is done with a FM tuner Sansui TU-S9. Cheapest sound you can get and does not fall much behind the cd I play with. At times it sound even greater. Get an aerial antenna and you are into very gooooood music for free. As stated in my thread before, Andrew ask me to try tapping the speakers into the amp using the 4ohm taps and guess what happen? Sleepless nights.....in FM palang yon. Try it with AMX brew speakers and for the price it can sound even better than many of the imported british and american speakers. If you are a beginner go for the cheapest AMX (EL 84) and go for their speakers made to match the amps. It is money worth investing for many years. Now kung kinakati ang kamay mo try then the other more expensive ones. who knows you might even end up still with the EL 84. If not try the modification route. Change some caps and resistors and it will even outrun many 60 thousand worth amps. Look for better speakers at a fraction of a cost and you got a killer. This is just my opinion after going through "the more expensive the better" mistakes. Now if expensive stuff is your thrill compare them with the AMX and ask yourself " is it worth the 100 thousand pesos or whatever the amount is difference?"

can the AMX SET KT88  be swamped with 300B tubes ?

Hi, as far as I know KT88 is a Penthode tube and 300B tube is a triode. Theres no way you can swap them not to mention the base socket they are totally different.  ::)

Parang 300B yun tubes ah. Sa ganda ng chasis design, siguradong maganda tunog nyan!
I do own 1 AMX contodo preamp at saka AMX CD line buffer. In my experience, AMX products
are for keeps!!! With the quality transformer and Andrew selected no-nonsense premium
parts, these gears are for keeps!!! (NO hiss, no hums , I agree).
I saw  a consigned JADIS sa phasetron and I compared the sound to AMX. Magugulat ka
sa tunog, No hypes, no bola, maganda tunog !!!

shogunn,

Had this custom-made last Dec. 2005. Total cost is Php 18,500.

9 watts/ch
2 x 5U4G (rectifier)
1 x 6N1P (preamp)
2 x 12AX7 (driver)
2 x EL34 (output)

Just a perfect match to my (also) custom-made 100db/w/m single-driver Fostex horns!

Hello kayo dyan!
I have been quite busy, actually very busy with my other "Ultimate Business". Now I have had time again in my lab to tinker. I have been comparing the pros and cons of SE vs Pushpull, and Single driver vs Multiway. In my style of listening I say I have a preference for SE and Horn Loaded single driver set ups. Laki lang loudspeaker! It just sounds snappier and has better spatial presentation. Acoustical wavefront is almost life like. Like the singer and instrumentalist are with you. So I got inspired and I am now working on my series of Se amplifier, much improved from the first ones i did a couple of years ago. I have redesigned the output trannies with higher inductances to render really deep lows, and multisection windings to improve detail and definition. I am now enjoying my SEUL 5 watter like never before. Will keep you posted in the developments. ;D

Just completed breadboarding my second SE model, move over 300b! :P 300B may just prove to be an overpriced, overated triode. My test tonight was very encouraging. I got less than 0.5% THD at 1 watt, and I was not using a 300B and at 10 glorious SE watts THD was less than 2%. When I connected  the loudspeakers, one channel only at the moment, i have not yet wound the other tranny,, I already enjoyed the music it gave. Actually I could not believe myself. The months spent and kilos of copper wire used on my research to design and build a better output tranny must have paid off. Still tweaking at the moment, but it looks very promising.
Keep you posted.  ;D

Hi Sir Andrew,

Would love to see those wood sidings in your amps again.
Also, hope the pricings would be very tempting just the way it is...
Goodluck, Sir.Keep us updated... :)

Sorry Jetok but I am not using a triode. :( The Triode SE or SET for short is a well traveled path, the  sound outcome is very prdeictable. Triodes have become very expensive also as there are very few choices you can make. DHT's or directly heated triodes like 2a3 and 300B are very inefficient and have very high interelectrode capacitance. Inter electrode capacitance increases as the size of the tubes get larger. Sound wise it becomes very difficult for the tubes to amplify high frequencies (Where all the details of the music resides). The founding fathers of audio knew this before the 1940's so they invented by pouring a lot of money in research to what many audiophiles today hate, the Pentode or Tetrode. This very same (but now hated by many audiophiles) pentode ushered in the "golden Age of Hifi Audio". What could be wrong with it?What I am doing is taking a different look at the tube and see what it can do. To say that I am now listening to SEP (P for tetrode  or pentode) now with  improved dynamics, greater detail which translates to wider sound stage, yet with excellent low frequency extension and higher efficiency (means less money). Many will not agree with my approach, most likely the triode fans, but all these components, triode and pentodes, and the wealth of information left to us by the founding fathers of audio must be looked at a different perspective. Discarding nothing and trying to use all to our advantage. I do not want a debate with anyone, I am just taking the road less traveled!

I not being a fan of vacuum tubes am surprised that only a few people dabble in pentodes or tetrodes. I thought that the only "good" sounding ones are the triodes.

Thanks sir for this observation, My wife's tube is a SEP type, 8w per channel lang but sounded so good talaga, ang layo don sa high priced ht gears ko :-[ When we bought this kind of amp there were many who said that i should have gotten the SET or just the PP since SEP is not that good, but i believe my ears better than i believe their mouths so we're enjoying this amp for almost 2yrs na ;D

According to this article: www.decware.com/paper16.htm  EL34's can sound like a "true" triode. Its more efficient and can yield higher output than similarly implemented (?) triode. Best of all, its available and affordable.

Sir, do you have a pre-release version of the pentode or tetrode based amp? Is it available for demo?

As  I mentioned pentode is the road less travelled. Pentode was king during the "Hifi Golden Age." Triodes then where used only for preamps. Pentode does have a peculiarity just like triodes, but as in Aikido, one wisely takes advantage of the force and strength of the enemy. What one sees as a disadvantage can actually become an advantage. But it is true the "Audio Band Wagon" has a triode banner today, and with a very high price tag. For a pair of 300b tube one can purchase an ss or "untriode" amp. The Model 1 pre release is in demo in my private listening room. The Model 2 is in my lab now playing in 2 channel, just completed the winding of the second output tranny. The sound is just wow to me. Not because I designed it, as I have designed lots in my lab that never saw the day but the scrap bin. This one is different. The tetrode is connected differently and uses an unconventional output transformer. The tube behaved differently from what the manual tabulated. If one would go by the manual this tube should never be used in single ended mode. But I dared.

I knew nothing is going to stop you to pursue that path as you have always been concerned with how to provide us Filipinos the lowest price yet the highest quality of sound. Not equally the same sound with far more expensive ones but what the heck........THE DETAIL, TRANSPARENCY ETC. IS  THERE!!!!  On the other hand it is also unfair to compare cause they are using far more expensive caps, wires transformers and caucasian hands!

The gainhas something to do with sensitivity of your pre amp. The output of our first model preamp was 250mv, which was designed for line amps and integrated amps with a 250mv sensitivity like oue line preamp, to minimize system noise. Over gain causes noise and distortion. We can modify this if you want to have a gain of 500mv. I think your line amp has this (350-500mv)sensitivity.

I will be in my lab this holy week I will be working on my third "SE Beamer" Beamer is what I call the Tetrode Beam Power Tubes, an anathema to the purist triodist of course. After my success in the design of the first two models I am quite encouraged.
Design calculations says it will put out anywhere from 30-45 watts RMS of pure class A single ended power. The tube is rather large, but looks interesting. It is quite easy to drive and will not cost an arm and a leg. The tubes I got from US recently are NOS, and I was a little hesitant that it might just get extinct. But I found out that there are still new productions in China.  At this point I do not know how it will sound, wish me luck. But the sheer power available and the SE simplicity excites me. High voltage supply is quite high at the region just below 1kv! If its magic then you will get to hear it. If its lousy and just loud, then it will be the latest addition to my boat anchor collection. ;)

It's an SE BMW? That that is exitting!

Andrew, do you have the intstrument to tune a FM tuner? Also do you have the time?

By the way tuloy parin yung dream tube equalizer parin ko ha? Wala palang pambayad sa iyo kaya hindi ako maka deposit. Just let the design brew in you mind first. Mas maganda paghinog na o baka hinog na? I am begining to be an equalizer balik believer again because when ever I used my vintage Sansui's triple tone control, I get to ballance the sound to my liking. Almost all engineers who did the mixing from the different recordings have different taste also. This difference will not be as obvious without your tube amps. "kasalanan mo pa pala!" Very un-audiophile ba or another falacy that audiophile don't use equalizer?

Andrew,
It's an SE BMW? That that is exitting!

Andrew, do you have the intstrument to tune a FM tuner? Also do you have the time?

By the way tuloy parin yung dream tube equalizer parin ko ha? Wala palang pambayad sa iyo kaya hindi ako maka deposit. Just let the design brew in you mind first. Mas maganda paghinog na o baka hinog na?

The baby beamer is about ready. I am just deciding the tube rectifier after definetly rejecting the SS recti in this setup. Got some nOS potato masher 5R4 and comparing it with 5U4G and 5V4. The 5V4 has a really soft turn on as it is indirectly heated. This is good for the power tubes and will prevent cathode stripping. Sonically the Sovtek 5U4G sounds better. At 4.5 watts per channel it is a sweetie. The downside is you need an efficient horn loaded system,if ever you want it loud, but it delivers deep bass through my focal bookshelf at a lesser volume. I designed this amp to be used as an all around daily music listening pleasure thing. I did not think of loud, but good and sweet. Soft but can go down to 30hz. My RTA just showed this baby could go deep.I enjoyed my Audiophile Voices CD #4 track 1. Selena Jones, "you dont bring me flowers" could really get down low and deep. It is a no=none sense amp. You just have to use it for what it is made for. Cool is the word. Coming very soon.

You probably have a rec. out in your Yamaha. You can tap off from there and connect it to your integrated amp. In that way you bypass the other circuits inside he Yamaha. Or you may just connect the output of your Yamaha  Preamp and connect it to your tube amp. Adjust the volume control of the power amp in such a manner that even you go all the way up with your Yamaha, you do not overdrive the tube amp, or else you will be in for lots of nasty distortion. happy listening! Thank you for asking.

Bought AMX tube int amp. KT66.

IMO sounds better than the EL34 they have there. (might be the tubes??)  For comparison ...
The bass is more defined, the voice clarity is better, the highs were not ear-piercing painful, more melodic for female vocals. Overall, a better choice for me.

A word of warning though, the default setup they had there was Alon speakers ?? ... which is a little low on bass.
Those who own MAs or other bass strong speakers would be adviced to plug the port holes for their speakers to minimize boomy sounds.

I'm now happy listening to more melodic music.

Amp (SS amp originally UK-Made).  Actually, iyong kaibigan kong Emirati (from Dubai) ay ini-head-to-head matchup namin sa Saudi iyong Roksan MK-III sa isang chinese-built tube amp na hiniram niya from somebody, pero nilamon ng MK-III iyong tube amp in terms of signal reproduction and cyrstal clear sound with lot of punch.  Ang nagmukhang tunog SS ay iyong chinese-built tube amp (kulang sa bass, muddy ang mids, though ok naman ang highs) na sinubukan namin at ang nag-tunog  tube ay iyong MK-III.

Ito lang kase ang sa tingin ko (ref to SS technology) ang MK-III/L.III na talagang match sa original UK-built  MA S6 speakers ko, but I want to settle for a tube amp.  At kung maka-experience ako ng isang de-tubo na kayang gawin iyong narinig ko sa MK-III, I'll go for that tube amp.  Well of course, ayoko rin naman ng tube amp na sobrang mahal kase like Audio Research...hats off ako doon pero it costs some SR19K (multiplied by Php14).

Nothing is imposible with AMX. Kung hindi mo gusto and tunog pa tweak mo sa AMX. I think they are more will to do that. I can tweak my heart and wallet out with AMX. You are starting right by following your ears. Hope when you hear the AMX you like baka your heart will follow. ENJOY shopping!

Well ok. If that's the case then try comparing the b2(if I am not mistaken that's the model) in Phasetron with their AMX speakers. I heard it there and tried a little bit of ABing it and guess what? Maybe my ears are gone but the AMX speakers are not far from the b2. the AMX has a natural double bass. I heard it only using Jazz music. You guys better go there and check it out to prove me wrong. The only variables that may cause the discrepancies is that maybe the b2 is not match with the amps? or the CD players?

Got AMX KT66 weeks ago. Definitely zero hiss at pause mode sa CD player. Excellent for vocals IMO.

Compared them side by side with EL34 and KT88, and another one (forgot model).
KT66 plays them a bit more melodic (IMO), but this is just my taste. Yours might differ.

I once had a AMX- KT-88 Int  SEP. Wala rin akong naring na hiss or humm.
Ganun din yun AMX Contodo preamp ko ngayon na kinabit ko sa ibang power amp. Wala rin hiss and hummm.
Better is to audition and listen sa shop. Maraming model to choose from. Quality -wise,Reasonable pa ang mga prices .

Hi all pinodvd members,

My name is bob from malaysia, and im new to this forum, hope I am welcome here.

Last year I came across this website www.amxtubeaudio.com and really interested to know more about their products. but the website tells nothing just a few pictures of the product.

I wrote an email to Mr. Andrew and asked him about PSE KT88 , also I asked him to quote the price which he did
and he also send me the specification for the model (thanks) but I never got the shipping cost. I checked my old email and found out that it was due to my fault, didnt gave him my full address in Malaysia.(my apologize to Mr. Andrew)
And a few days ago again I stumbled upon this forum and was surprised because AMX has so many followers here, which is good. In Malaysia there are a few tube builders but tube gear didnt go down well to the masses, maybe because of the higher price here. And those who own tube gears are only a few.

Im interested to know about AMX PSE KT88 soundwise and constructionwise maybe I will make a purchase, so if any pinodvd members can share the experienced of listening and owning the model please share.

From what Mr Andrew told me it can build either tube regulated or SS regulated which is very nice.(I always go for tube regulated) I already have two push pull KT88 amp, so Im thinking of getting one single ended KT88 just to change the taste. With my push pull I listen mostly to rock but single ended maybe I can use for voice and acoustic music.

Actually I have a few alternatives from Europe and the U.S but the shipping cost surely is killing me and Im going  only for KT88/6550 design because I already have many in my stock. Go to other tubes surely will cost me more.
Of course the best single ended is from triode, but a good design pentode/tetrode also can sound nice I believe.

To Mr Andrews,  I am sorry for it took me so long to write back to you because of my work commitment and really hope to hear from you again. (I just wrote to you yesterday, and fowarded all previous emails in case you couldnt recall)

Thanks and regards

bob

hi bob,

welcome to pinoydvd!

try to pm superman, i believe he used to own one.  if you will browse this thread (though quite long) you will see a partial list of amx amp owners.  not to mention the owners outside of this forum.  i myself is an owner of a custom-made AMX EL34 PP amp to taylor-fit my preference and it's still with me since 2003.  i'm sure andrew will attend to your queries.  good luck!

Hey bobmy12003,  let me join jetok in welcoming you in this site/thread!!!  your knowledge, expriences, inquiries and others are very much welcome here.

as what jetok mentioned, you can see how long this thread is (i guess this is the longest in the site) and still growing due to the popularity of the tube products and of course due to the professionalism of the founder/designer himself, Mr. Andrew Sevilla.  Very personalized an d generous in providing answers to your queries.

AMX here is known for its value for money thing.  Quality sound at a friendly price...no arms length deals.

Good luck on your search for audio nirvana... we hope that you find that in an AMX equipment.

Cheers! :)

I don't know if Mr. Andrew will kill me for saying this but here goes. he started his electronics experience back when dinasaurs still roam the earth. He has been tinkering with tube amps when most of your parents were not married yet. Plus, an electronic engineer will still be another electronic engineer unless . . . .  he has a different set of musical ears to tweak what ever can be squeezed out of certain set limits. I will always remember him saying "the best sound system is go to a good concert hall and listen to the music".  So I guess his standards for designing the amps and speakers for that matter is his recollection of how the real instruments and voice sounded. A God blessed set of ears and techinical knowhow and experience will definitely set some very good standard to start with. I recently listened to some of the very cheap speakers available here (about $100 worth) tweaked by Mr. Andrew and . . . . am not going to waste my money on some of the expensive ones from europe and america if that level of standard were set. A few level standard higher, he has these speakers which were awsome for the price range (about $400). I am still saving money for a tube equalizer and I am sure its going to be one high end sound I can get from it. Maybe a trip to the Philippines can be a fulfilling leasure trip to listen to them amps and speakers. Nothing beats a system that can touch ones senses. Oh by the way, I have only an el84 and it always brings me to nirvana.
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: bz on Jun 30, 2006 at 02:47 AM
By the way Bob,
Ask any questions reguarding amplifyers and speakers and he has the background to tell you about it. I tried once asking him " why did minimalist design came about and reguarded the equalizers as a mortal sin for audiophile?" You will be amazed to find out that it was more of marketing reasons. Now if Andrew can share his answer about this question, I am sure he can do a better job. Aren't you guys also interest in knowing why we have this wrong mind set that to have equalizers are a NO NO for audiophiles?

Hi, you have the same thinking as REG (www.regonaudio.com). He says that in order to some all the upgrades and the tweaking, add adigital equalizer.

This is one of his emails on the subject.

<[email protected]>
   

Since we have quite a few new people, it occurred to me that it
might be useful to have a quick summary of the overall picture as I
see about sound in rooms and EQ and so on. Details are on
www.regonaudio.com but in quick form, my personal view:

The sound of an audio system is Predominately determined by the time
windowed frequency response. Barring gross distortions(amp clipping
and so on), the overall sound is almost entirely described by
knowinG how much energy in each frequency arrives as a function of
time.

In the lower frequencies(below around 300 Hz) the room contribution
and the direct sound of the speaker are essentially treated by the
ear/brain as a unity. If this region is made RTA (steady state)
flat, it sounds right. Further up, there is a gradual increase in
emphasis on direct arrival,although the room sound still counts.

A good summary of why one might come to believe this picture is
given in www.gradient.fi , the design white paper(note especially
page 3).

Much of what is wrong with audio systems in rooms can be fixed by EQ-
-in the bass essentially ALL that is wrong can be so fixed. Higher
up, life is not so simple since the ear/brain begins to hear the
direct arrival, then the early reflections, then the "room sound" as
a whole in separate and different ways. The best hope is to get rid
of as much of the room sound and the early reflections as possible
in the higher frequencies.

Most speaker/room combinations do not do all that well. But a good
speaker and careful placement can get one surprisingly close. Have a
look at the Harbeth M40 graph in my photo gallery here. One might
like to EQ out a little of the extra "warmth" and I usually add a
subwoofer to pull up the deep bass slightly, but overall, it shows
signs of working! So do some of the other speakers measured on
www.regonaudio.com at least with a little judicious EQ.

So there is the "big picture" as I see it. This message is really
for new people only. Everything in it is old hat to those who have
been around a while!

REG

PS New people: I really really recommend a very careful reading of
the design brief on www.gradient.fi
especially the part (page 3) about how people could essentially not
tell the output of an anechoically-played flat speaker from the
source being played, that the differences were very small. This fact
is a profound truth.

Let me illustrate (how I understand the process):


Bad-sounding old BNS Quintetspeaker

In-room frequency response of the BNS Quintet speaker.

With EQUALIZER, corrected in-room frequency response of the BNS Quintet speaker.

Much flatter result, means better sounding.  The equaliser just corrects the bad effects of the room environment.

The problem is not all stores have all the brands of tube amps as well as the speakers.  Since wala pa akong unit kahit isa, I cannot borrow either an amp or a speaker and test if it sounds good or not.   If I would go to an entry level amp, then later on andyan ang tinatawag ninyo na sars.  I would prefer to go to the mid end and forget about sars.  This is the reason why i went for tubes instead of receivers coz receivers are always upgrading and changing technology.

Hi all pinoydvd members

Mr andrew is building my amp now PSE KT88/6550, and after many emails exchanging, so far I can say Im very satisfied
with the service he gave and from what he twrote to me the amp will be very nice indeed specificationwise.
If there are any members interested about this amp please contact him, who knows maybe a few of us will own this amp
and it is great to exchange any ideas and experiences later on.
I think thats what a forum like this should play where owners can exchange their experinces on improving the quality.

Le_Stat,
I think you have too many variables to choose from and you might end up with just going arround in circles. I guess, what you should do first is decide which to buy first the speakers or the amp. from there then look for the matching amp or speakers. Baka parang chicken or the egg yan. For me, speakers are easier to find and match unless you are using Single Ended Triode of 2 to 3 watts. The problem now is what is mid end speakers? Is it the cost or the sound. As sound is very subjective, I would suggest find out what is your budget for the speakers first. Then look for the best speakers YOU heard then amps will be easier to match. Andrew can even help you match it for your speakers unless you bought some speakers that have already been used by other AMX users. If I were you, wait for the new version of AMX towers. I don't know if he will retweak it or not but try listenting to them first. For the price, they are veryvery good to my ears. If it does not match your taste Andrew can also tweak it for your satisfaction or match your room( a very critical aspect to consider). My thinking and approach towards this is like choosing to buy a Ferrarri or buying an old cheap Ford Mustang with value for money as an objective. Tweak the old Mustang and it will outperform the Ferrarri at a fraction of a price. Will you dare tweak a ferrari? NO WAY!! My friend changed his clutch and cost him 150,000 pesos just for the clutch without the labor. Tweak pa kaya? But if performance and value for money is not your objective but shear bragging rights then spend on the Ferrari. 
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: Le_Stat on Jul 09, 2006 at 12:01 PM
@bz :  Very true.  Mid end meaning in terms of brand and performance.   Bang for the buck that you almost forget the upgrade itch because of satisfaction received. 

Im still currently auditioning some tubes, and also looking into SS and hybrid.  Since im still new, i'd like to look at my options.  Im the kind of buy who reads first the manual before plunging and plugging the new toy.  But yeah, this is a long process which I also enjoy.  I learn a lot of things everyday.

Post by: bz on Jul 09, 2006 at 02:24 PM
That's good! The joy of research for what is best for you. What I did before was to go to CCP and listen to some actual concerts from any symphyony group. Go listen to some bands you like and try to memorize the sounds also. The band using electronics wont get you much because electronics from guitar can sound so different that there might not be any standard. IN CCP at least you will get to listen how each instruments really sound like. You are not going to get an exact replica of the sound of the instruments but at least you ears can be trained to find out which system will sound closser.  This is one way to check it, analytically but on the other hand some system may not sound the same as the real instruments but it gets you heart pumping and dancing mood going. This system might be what you want also. Better if you can get a system that can be analytically correct and yet get your mood going.

AMX PSE KT88/6550

I have been listening to this amplifier for a week now. It is KT88 run in triode parallel SE and was design and built by Mr. Andrew Sevilla from AMX Tubeaudio.
It is cheap but the built is nice and a whooping 31kg in weight.(I wont tell the cost of the amp here, anybody interested can contact Mr. Andrew)
In stock form the AMX sound very nice, the clarity, imaging and big sound stage. Compare to my push pull KT88 the AMX is better in bass. Driving a Fostex FE206E blh the bass from the AMX goes very low and solid unlike my push pull that a bit woolly.I run the AMX using EH5U4GB,Chinese 6SN7 and  Chinese KT88. I will let the AMX amp run for a few weeks with this tubes and maybe started a tube rolling after that. I will try any pentode or tetrode in it, EL34, 6550, KT88 and KT90. I really looking forward to try EL34 in this amp because from what I heard EL34 is better compare to 6550/KT88 in single ended.
What I like most about this amp is when listening to low volume level, it didnt lose it it sparkle and the bass note is still can be feel and heard.
It is indeed a very nice amp for the price, and with a few better components and better tubes no doubt it will be at its best. 
I'll listen to this amp in stock form for a few months and maybe a little component upgrade later. Maybe a better coupling caps and better resistor in signal line will improve the sound. For now I just want to enjoy the music.
To Mr. Andrew, any suggestion for the upgrade?

Regards

Bob
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: AMXTube on Aug 15, 2006 at 09:45 PM
Hello Bob,

I am glad you liked the amp. My suggested upgrade with the most effect, worth all the money: use 6sn7 RCA, next sylvania will be a good choice too, or GE if you can find. For power tubes 6550 tungsol sounds great, the actual tube I used when we tested the amp in the lab. For electrolytic caps of course you can upgrade from atomlytic and JJ to ELNA cerafine or Black gates. For resistors carbon comp AB sounds great but at the expense of higher noise level.

Enjoy your music!

Andrew

Hi Andrew

Thanks for the post
I'll try with the 6SN7 Sylvania and RCA, 6550 Tung Sol, I also have a quad of Svet 6550C and Svet KT88
I'll try with all those.
How about the coupling caps?..Any suggestion?.

By the way the amp is getting better, and I noticed too that it is at its best after 30-40 mins of running

I am not quite familiar with the complete specs of your spkr. Would you know the sensitivity?It means dB SPL at 1 watt at 1 meter. In plain language it is how loud the speaker will sound with 1 watt input when you are standing a meter away. To give you a run through, our smallest push pull amp is 12 to 15 watts rMS per channel, the next is VIvace at 25 watts rms per channel, followed by Forte at 60 watts rms per channel. The lower the sensitivity of your loudspeaker the higher should be the power output of the amplifier, unless you listen at very low levels and listen to it in fairly small rooms. The type of music will also matter, solos and small groups will sound more intimate in small low powered SE amps, while big bands will demand higher power. I do not know what type music you usually listen to, but this will be a fai guide to follow. We also have a 300B SE 12 watts max, and an 807 SE 12-15 watts per channel. If you want separates we have a 50 watts per channel el34 amp, and a line preamo to go with it. You may audition this amps at Phasetron, Makati. If your loudspeaker is not too heavy, bring them over and audition it with the amps of you choice. Bring your fav CD or records.Do not forget to ask for discount when uou pay cash! Very important.

AMX Forte KT90

I purchased this amp a couple of weeks ago from Phasetron. Your staff was very helpful and answered alot of my questions during the numerous times i visited your shop. From the beginning the AMX Forte was the int. Amp I wanted. I had a chance to talk to you, but i never got the chance to introduce myself. I was the one inquiring if the Forte could run my Magnepan Mg12 at 4ohms. You asked me about the sensitivity since I was so concerned that the MG12 needed at minimum 100watts/channel. You assured me as long that the speaker sensitivity was 85db and above the Forte could power it easily. Mr. Sevilla you know your equipment well, you were right.

I now enjoy countless hours listening to my music collection all over again as my system made me hear things I never noticed before. I used to use a solid state amp with my MG12 before and it never sounded as good as the AMX Forte. As for the next step, please guide me  in the future when its time for to upgrade or modify the AMX Forte. I'm sure it has alot of potential.

For my next purchase I am interested in investing in a AMX Tube Buffer Stage for my CD player. Would this complement my AMX Forte, or should I just go with an outboard D/A converter, or leave it the way it is. What AMX Tube Buffer Stage design would you prefer for the AMX Forte? Pls. PM me the details.

One day I could finally shake the hand of the man who designed my AMX Forte KT90, your personnel told me your usually at the Glorietta shop before closing hours. Thankyou for your countless designs and innovations, more power, watts, rms, sales to Phasetron.  :)


Best Regards,

Jojo

BTW the salesperson told me that this was the only Amx Forte KT90 sold by Phasetron, is it a one off? :D
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: AMXTube on Sep 18, 2006 at 08:55 PM
Thank you for the purchase and I am just as glad that you are enjoying the amp. The AMX forte comes in different version, KT90 which you got and 6550 version. The 6550 was bought by a foreigner who brought the amp overseas. They have practically the same circuit but the KT90 is tops. They share the same chassis and design. No its not a one off, where making a couple of them again, one 6550 and another KT90. Enjoy the music and again thank you very much for the support and encouragement. :D

FE167 is quite sensitive, particularly when its horn loaded. AMX has a very good sounding SEEL34, 6 watts per channel in triode, and 10 watts in Ultratriode connection. Or you may audition our 807SE amp. If you intend to listen more in the foreground/background way then I can recommend the EL84 SE, like what I use at home, it has 4 watts per channel in Ultra Triode Connection and drives a 5 inch Foster (makers of Fostex, i was told) full range mounted in a tapered quarter wave tube horn. Lots of bass for 4 watts and very warm sound. I can listen to it all day long. Great with clasical and jazz vocals. Arias sound great too.

TVC: Transformer Volume Control. Instead of relying on resistive potentiometers, this type uses a transformer to attenuate the signal. A potentiometer, even a fancy stepped one, will attenuate the signal by turning most of it into heat and passing on the rest. A transformer on the other hand will not waste any energy, except for some minor losses. The voltage will be lowered, but it will be traded for current. Basically, this means that the impedance match between source and power amp will be improved, instead of worsened, as long as you attenuate the signal. And in almost all cases the signal will be attenuated, making this a solution that has some serious theoretical advantages over the classic resistive passive preamp.

Hi I'm new here. Am now the proud owner of the first amx el34pp amp 50-watt with tone control cooly coined as the Acoustica Forte model courtesy of the man himself, Mr Andrew S.

I used to have an el34 35 watts about 6 mos ago but somehow something was lacking cos it was driving Dynaudio speakers with low sensitivity. Mr Andrew suggested I try out his new model the next day and asked me to bring my bookshelf speakers.

To make the long story short, the Dynes are now singing and this brings me to higher level of musical experience! (Watch out! Symptoms of upgraditis on the onset!)

Am sure many audiophile purists will scoff at a tube amp with tone controls. ;) Be that as it may to each his own! What matters is the music! Thanks to the man!

By the way, Mr Andrew what will be a suggested upgrade for this unit? (Eto na nga...upgraditis!)

Oh thanks for info. In tech parlance we call it "inductive attenuator".Be that as it may, the remote volume control is motorized resistive alps not TVC. A motor is attached to the alsp v.c. and motor is controlled via infrared. To do this with TVC will take 24 relays clicking in and out, or a really big stepper motor, but the 24-36 relays will be workable, that means I will need a 24-36 channel IR encoder or maybe a sequencer controlled by the toggle. This is major project, but doable,if time permits.

Adavtage numero uno, astig and amp mo, you can brag about it, and next yes warmer, and richer in harmonics sound, is the claim of those who upgrade to oil caps.
 I think the upgrade for you amp will need 8pcs of .22 uf copper foil in oil signal caps, and 2pcs. 50uf/515v oil type power supply filter cap. Prepare to invest around 10-12K if you are that serious. NOS El34, Mullard or better yet Philips orig will be another way to upgrade some more and you will have to invest say an additional of 20k for the NOS tubes. But frankly with this amount maybe the better way is to upgrade to higher model loudspeaker system first, where bang for buck you will realize a better sound and louder too if you desire to experience more live sound decibels.

Mr Andrew: Thanks for the advise re speaker upgrade. For sure I'll also take your advise re oil caps in the near future. Itch-itch, scratch-scratch!  ;) As regards the bookshelf Dynes that I've been using so far the 50watt push-pull amp has been adequate enough.

Much regret but I will not be at the exhibit this year. There is a conflict in my schedule due to a previous speaking engagement  out of town. I am very sorry that I will not be exhibiting. However all the new models may be auditioned at the shop starting today, and more models will be added by Monday. Again I will miss the show and the friends. Allow me to thank all those who supported AMX and are still supporting today. Thanks a lot guys! You keep me going.

went to the Phasetron shop and there was none of the new units left for me to compared it with a 300B. What could be the reason why the new PP units were selling like hotcakes? THe price and sound? Does this mean the PP outperform the 300B? Any comments out there? What's your comment Mr. Genius Andrew?

Kinetic Audio had just recently released in the market the AMX Vivace Deluxe Tube Rectified Stereo Int. Amp (EL-34/Chrome finished with SN# 12711).  As I've learned from Phasetron, it was the refined and improved version of the original Vivace but the new model has some sort of two choke filter-type transformers, total of 5 transformers (including 1 power and 2 output) in one small package.  This baby is too d?mn heavy at 18kgs.  It uses Svetlana EL-34 pentode power tubes, Sylvania 2 X 6DJ8 classic anode follower-type, para-phase push-pull drivers,  1 x 12AX7A phase inverter & 1 x GE 5R4 full wave tube rectifier.

This amp may not be the best in its class, but it has an attitude especially if you paired it with some high sensitivity loudspeakers and surely it will rock.

On a 20-24 sqm listening room, this amp is powerful enough to define musical details, warmth and brilliance.

Play the Jazz @ the Pawnshop cd and you will  be surprised on how this amp deliver even the smallest details of the recording.

The enchanting vocal presentation of Jheena Lodwick in "All My Loving" album and you will be amazed on how this small amp expressed the brilliance of the material as if the female performer had jumped-out of the loudspeakers.

Want to hear some original analogue presentations, put Ike & Tina Turner blues mastery and you will feel the rawness of the recorded source.

Push it harder and indeed it has the ability to drive the tracks on The Cult's Electric Album.

I say, this amp is awesome.....Another excellent masterpiece by the tubeguru himself...Andrew Sevilla....8)

Guys...I need your advise.

I have an AMX phono preamp with 2pcs 12ax7 (I think) and 1 fat tube (sorry, i'm not very familiar with it) which I was able to buy second hand from one of the members here about a year and a half ago.

The preamp is working perfectly until last week when I noticed there is no sound coming from the left channel.  I checked the connections and it seems there is no loose connection anywhere.

What could be wrong with it? Help please. Thanks!

Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: AMXTube on Jan 26, 2007 at 10:57 AM
If tube replacement does not work, try switching the inputs temporarily, by putting the phono left jack to the right, if the sound transfers from left to right, then check the phono cartridge, if the sound stays on the same channel then just bring over your preamp for a check up. A quick "look and see" by the makers will solve the problem. Dont worry 95% of the time its a minor problem.

Finally, I was able to replace the 12ax7 tubes...and voila!...problem fixed! :D

Thank you guys for the help.

On a side note though, I was inspecting the tubes I removed but there seemed to be no visual sign that it is busted.  Are there supposed to be visual/audible signs to indicate if a tube is dying?

Mr AMX,

Just went to Phasetron, and auditioned the Integra 150.  I seems to fit the bill for what I need: a tube amp that can play my varied music, from rap to alternative to audiophile vocals, and has a remote control.  Plus it seems to have more than enough power to power my 89db Floorstanders (Tannoys) and it looks pretty good too.

Also I was wondering what the difference is between the Integra (75wpc) and the Allegro 120 (which is about 60wpc)?  The guy in Phasetron said that the Integra was KT90 and the Allegro was an EL34?   Which one should you consider if you had varied music tastes, and would use it also for the occasional ipod video (I download series from iTunes) and dvd watching?

Also, how much would the amps be with tone controls and without the loudness switch?  Plus a cage that I can slide on and off (since I have a 2-year old who can operate all my audio stuff when she wants to watch an episode of Barney or her latest home video).

I also have some fitment constraints (have to satisfy the wifey, and have all the audio stuff fit in the same AV cabinet).  I can only take amps that are about 47cm wide and about 37cm thick. Height is no prob since I can adjust the shelves, and just a cursory look at the amps I can say they will fit (height-wise).
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: AMXTube on Feb 20, 2007 at 09:10 AM
Muy Pogi

The Integra 150 is an integrated amplifier that uses Kt88 but may be substituted with KT90 no problem. The Allegro 120 is  a  basic power amp. You will need a separate pre-amp for that. The Allegro is lower in price compared to the Integra as the EL34 is actually cheaper than KT88 or KT90. We have stopped using the KT90 as it just more expensive than the KT88 and in our listening tests did not make much difference fro the KT88.

Your requirement for a cover cage is possible for an extra cost. Metal is expensive today, thanks to China who consumes millions of tons of it. For size we can remove the side cylinder posts and it will fit the size pf your rock. Anything else the wife desires tell me.

Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: muypogi on Feb 20, 2007 at 08:54 PM
Thanks for the reply.  So how much for these particular specs:

1) Integra 150 (remote volume and source selector)
2) KT88 tubes
3) no loudness control
4) tone controls, preferably one on each side of the central volume control
5) tube cage, can be slid out (forward) for serious listening; sliding action, no screws (pwede patong lang), but secure enough so that young fingers don't get to touch hot tubes; can be metal or wood (like the old Fisher amps)
6) max dimensions are: (W and D) 435 and 290mm
7) hopefully between 20-30k pesos
8) Kaya kaya remote turn on rin, or is this asking too much?

We will have a little problem with the size. Size of my chassis is 432 X 305 but I will see if we could fix up the layout in another chassis. i like to maintain good distance between power tubes to prolong life of tubes.
Turn On by remote we have not tried but not impossible of course. Price can be settled privately please.

Depends on your musical tastes.  Based on your stats, any AMX integrated amp will be able to drive your speakers.  You can check out the EL34 (2 x 35wpc) or you can check out the KT88 amp (2 x 75wpc) that's currently on display.  Any of those can drive your speakers.  I bought the KT88, since I play varied stuff, from classical to rap.

You can also ask Sir Andrew to customise your amp.  I asked for tone controls, a tube cage, and remote volume/source control.  Some people have asked for subwoofer outs, custom exotic parts, etc.

Best is to audition the amps in Phasetron for yourself.  Look for Edwin.

Hi FirstTube,

specs of your speakers are near the specs of the one I'm using (Dali C6), you can enjoy it with a minimmum of 35 wpc (EL34 push pull) tube amp. I initially paired the speakers with a 12 wpc EL84, medyo bitin. Eventually, I settled for EL34 50wpc, BTW I have used AMX amps ever since.

would actually depend on you...try to talk to andrew...it can be a push pull 2A3, with 4 x 2A3 tubes, although i think this may be expensive...what i suggested was a 2A3 SET power amp and separate pre-amp (depends if you're into analog, include phonostage)...this is just my 2-cents...depends again on the music you listen to...plus of course your budget, thanks!

Guys, any idea on how much electricity a tube amp consumes?  Para daw plantsa because of the heater, but I would need something more concrete, as the wifey is concerned on the inevitable increase in the electric bill.  Sagot ko daw yung sosobra sa usual monthly. . . :-(

My amp's a 75wpc KT88, with quad KT88s and four preamp tubes (GE and Sovtek if I'm not mistaken).  I use it in the evenings, but bulk of the use is when my daughter watches her Barney DVDs during the day. 

Using Meralco's appliance calculator, a 600W flat iron used 6 hours a day, 7 days a week would cost P950 to run per month.

My old SS NAD 320 BEE by my estimates consumes 345w (230 volts x 1.5 amps) using the same calculation comes out to P550.

So my extra bill is P400. 

But assuming the AMX is a 1000 watter, it would cost P1,600 to run, and would cost me an extra P1,050 to run.

Tama ba?

Whoever told you that a tube amp runs like a plantsa because of the heaters does not know what he is talking about. The KT88 has 6.3V heater and each tube consumes 1.6Amps, so that is 10.08 watts per tube, 40 for the KT88s, let us say 6.3V din at around .3 amp yung mga driver tubes, so around 1.89 watts, let us say 2 watts each, so 8 watts for 4 tubes, 48 watts na tayo sa heaters. Hehehe... saan may plantsa na 48 watts?

I don't think your tube amp will consume more than 500 watts. Most likely around 350.

Why don't you ask Andrew for the power consumption of your AMX amp?

Just to let you know that we closed PHASETRON Makati today. We will reopen soon in another mall, a little bigger with a dedicated listening room, tweak lab and audio clinic, more upgrade parts etc.. not far from makati, just by edsa.Negotiations are underway. For those who need service for their AMX amps, you can contact me at my office, business as usual and greater discounts, no more Ayala rent share.: KINETIC AUDIO TECHNOLOGIES, TEL 8380590, 123 Manosteen Road, FTI Complex, Taguig City MM. The reason we closed the store in Makati is due to the very very high rental rates. We want to continue to deliver low priced quality products, and it is being made impossible by the extremely high rates we have to cough up every month. Plus we want a more spacious but less expensive place, and we found one, and a great one!
You will be all invited to check out our place. Watch out for our announcements. We appreciate your business. Anyway we can help just call.

Sana sa Shangrila Mall, para dumami yung mga HIFI/AV stores inside.  Would actually be more convenient to be housed there, since you can buy an AMX amp and do the rounds of B&W, Mission, Dynaudio, Yamaha, Epos, Wharfedale, Mourdant Short, Gale and Paradigm to find the speaker that suits your amp.

IMHO, i don;t think it will be in Shang-rila...because one of the major reasons why Andrew decided to leave Park Square is cost of rent...i am very sure Shangri-la may have the same rates or even higher because they cater to a higher end market

Sir AMXTube, please PM me the price of a Tubed Vivace 25w/ch amplifier. If not in stock, how long will it take to build? I forgot to ask you when I visited your factory last week. If you remember, this is for my HT setup. Thanks, looking forward to visiting your factory again.

Jojo
Hi Jojo,

The Vivace can be remanufactured any time. Give us about 7-10 working days. Thanks and hope to hear from you.

try switching output tubes from left to right channel, if humming will transfer to left to right also, you might have busted tube.

and the price is very wallet-friendly! suddenly felt the urge to sell my amx amp in order to get this new one!

My AMX combo (acoustica 6SN7/12AX7 preamp and 70wpc EL34 monoblock amp) can easily drive at 9 o'clock gain setting my DALI Concept 6 (150wpc, 91 sensitivity). Currently using an ARC preamp and still driving the speakers with ease at 10 o'clock gain set.

Sorry for the delayed answer. Yes we have tube buffer using 6N1P, Russian. Php 9,500.00 SRP
SE EL84 gives out 4.5 watts RMS  per channel. Using a 90+dB sensitive speakers it can get quite loud. Sorry I am not familiar with the wharfedale 8.4 sensitivity. But it will all depend on how you intend to listen to the amp. Recently we sold an SE EL84 to a guy with speakers having sensitivity of 86 dB! Book shelf type at that and he was very happy with the performance and drive.

A preamp could change the sound style, or the acoustic signature. So does a change in loudspeaker type.
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: ledrahc on Mar 02, 2008 at 02:10 PM
sir, i just bought an AMX stereo line pre amp last friday (night). And during test ko earlier, i found out na distorted (am not sure if this is the proper term) yung sound pag nasa 6 and up na yung volume nung pre-amp. nde naman malakas volume nung receiver/amp ko, in fact nasa around -50db lang yung volume nya.
Though most likely nde naman aabot ng 6 yung volume setting ng pre-amp ko, (baka nasa 3 lang lagi kasi may sariling volume control naman yung receiver/amp ko), medyo nagaalala lang ako dahil baka eto pa yung maging cause nung iba pang possible failure in the future nung amp.
kindly advise. can i have it replaced rather than fixed? baka kasi mas matagal kung i-fix e, 2 days pa lang naman sakin. thanks

Sir Andrew,
Thanks for modifying my SET6550 integrated amp.  I can now use it as a dedicated pre-amp or integrated amp thanks to the switch you installed.
BTW, I noticed that the pre-out sound characteristic  is a little on the bass side and lacking some detail.  Is this due to my 12au7 Matsucrapa tubes?  When I use it as integrated amp, there is more detail...probably due to the SE 6550 tube.

And during test ko earlier, i found out na distorted (am not sure if this is the proper term) yung sound pag nasa 6 and up na yung volume nung pre-amp. nde naman malakas volume nung receiver/amp ko, in fact nasa around -50db lang yung volume nya.
Though most likely nde naman aabot ng 6 yung volume setting ng pre-amp ko, (baka nasa 3 lang lagi kasi may sariling volume control naman yung receiver/amp ko), medyo nagaalala lang ako dahil baka eto pa yung maging cause nung iba pang possible failure in the future nung amp.
kindly advise. can i have it replaced rather than fixed? baka kasi mas matagal kung i-fix e, 2 days pa lang naman sakin. thanks

The preamp you purchased has an output level of 8 volts maximum. Now your HK integrated amp has a sensitivity of 0.5 volts. There you go, when you crank up the volume of the preamp, you will overdrive and clip your HK integrated amp. Easy does it, the AMX preamp isdesigned to drive power amp. We can install an output attenuator if you like.

Actually, I'm guessing you're driving an AVR or a 2 channel receiver amp.  Preamps are supposed to drive power amps.  You damage your AVR of you continue to use the preamp.  Unless your receiver/AVR has a power amp mode, you'd be best off either using the receiver as stand-alone or getting a proper power amp.

i do have another question po mga master, (hehe sir Matz :) )
I've read kasi sa isang thread that it's possible to use yung Bada 2 channel SS Integrated amp, as power amp.
pwede ba eto setup ko instead of buying a power amp. Actually my main goal is to use the integrated amp lang when playing rock or pop type of music, then padaanin ko naman sa tube preamp kung classical or instrumental...

The new showroom/store is KINETIC AUDIO, level 2 forum Robinsons Edsa corner Pioneer, Mandaluyong. Using equipment with vacuum tubes in your audio chain always has an effect on the sound style, in varying degrees. The maximum tube effect can be realized in the power amplifier. The next in the chain will be the pre amplifier. The least in my observation is the CD player. The best is still tube all the way. I suggest you start with the power amplifier. Even solid state preamps sound good with tube power amplifiers. according to tests I have heard so far.

It works wonders too. Most specially if preamp is pure tube, meaning the power supply is tube rectified. Also, I know many audiophiles don"t like tone controls but  its great to tweak a little with these controls to get the desired sound style than tweak with wallet breaking interconnect cables which work like passive eq's anyway. Put some controls in your finger tips, nothing is perfect in this world. I have heard vinyls and CD recordings with different tonal quality on different cuts on the same album. In my experience and humble opinion, the audiophile hated tone controls can make your sound bloom. At the end of the day, don't let anyone dictate how you should listen to your music! Be free to enjoy it they way you like to here the music.

Uy! we're using the same speaker.

share ko lang. last week, i was able to talked (over the phone) to sir andrew about this. DM302's nominal impedance is 8 ohms (minimum 3.2ohms). according to him, even though it's 91 dB importante pa rin to take note of that 3.2 ohms. Kaya he suggested a 60 watter. meron silang "nilulutong" tube amp with sub out. magandang abangan yun. plus, may speaker din tayong aabangan sa kanila, as in "lutong-bahay" din. malapit na daw. :-)

ok kausap si sir Andrew.

Sir Andrew, some hypothetical questions:

1) Would it be possible for you to make a hi-power SET amp using this tube:

2) With these features:

- same form factor as the KT88 PP Integra 150 you did for me last year
- with tone control and tone bypass switch
- remote source and volume control
- sub out jacks
- tube cage
- bias meter - either analog or digital
- tube cage
- either heavy duty conventional transformers or toriod type
- looks like this:

(http://davidmichaelaudio.com/images/PRODUCT/medium/146.jpg)

3) potential "damage" to the pocket
4) Max power output for this kind of amp
5) will there be any difference to the sound of the KT88 amp? Will it be just as versatile playing all kinds of music?


Thanks!

Hi muypogi! Just a question, when you say "hi-powered" 2A3 amp? Most 2A3 amps are designed as SET, and mostly SET amplifiers are low powered...and normally (depending on the circuit), 2A3 amps are 2-3 watts if SET, and probably 8-9watts if push pull (requiring 4 pieces of 2A3 tubes)...Good luck on your SET amp! :D

Sorry, what I meant was the highest power rating you can get from a SET 2A3 amp. Was looking at SET amps and the highest I've seen them go was below 10wpc.  Was wondering how far you could push the envelope with the 300B/2A3 tubes in SET, or with SET as a topology in general. Medyo mahal yung PP config pag 2A3 or 300B yung ginagamit, but I'd be intrigued on how it sounds though.  Aesthetically speaking, those big tubes are quite a sight to behold.

Or baka ma-miss ko nga yung KT88 punch?

A 2A3 in a Class A (SE) would give you around 2.5 watts/ch, around 4-5 watts/ch if you put in on PP.

Master Jericho, paki check kung grounded ang preamp sa poweramp. If grounding is not good you get that effect, kasi baka na semi floated ang preamp. You can bring in the preamp, we can check if the shaft of the volume control needs additional grounding.

any advise?

http://www.tubedepot.com/jj-2a3-40.html

A 2A3 set gives you a powerful 3.5 watts per channel, unless you have the likes Klipshhorn 101db 1w/1m sensitive loudspeakers, for guys who play loud you can forget this tube, but it is one of the most musical tube ever created. A thing with tube Hifi, the lower the power the more delicate and beautiful is the sound quality, but you need very sensitive loudspeakers, that is if you enjoy the delicateness of music. But many enjoy the wham rather than the inner detail. In my experience the delicateness disappears when the power goes up.

An alternative is the 845 tube, or 211 transmitter tubes, it can spit out 24 watts in class A, but again it has its own kind of sound much different from the 2a3 or even the 300B. This tube is not very child friendly, if you have kids at home, a word of caution. Its HOT, enough to be used as a bread warmer, and sucks up a lot of precious electric power. Things you need to consider, but its an option.

Went to Robinsons and tried listening to the newly assembled el84 with the home brewed back loaded speakers.  When I first heard these speakers there were something that i notice regarding the high freq. region and specially the lacking of the lower region of the frequencies. Guess what when I put in the FIM audiophile CD? EUREKA!!!. The speakers were really perperforming far beyond my expectation. I found out that my previous negative comments was caused only by the recording i was listening to. The frequencies are all there a little bit thin but for the price it's all THERE!!! It was a well ballance speakers. If you are the type who likes over thumping of the bass line these are not for you. But if you like the natural easeness of the bass lines and the clarity of the high frequencies these are as natural as you can get. I tried listening to some other cd's the problem came back. Good buy for the price in fact far better. By the way this is my listening oppinion only.

Good cd's will sound good in "honest sounding systems" and bad cds will show how bad the recording engineer was with his work. Sayang there are too many good performers but rather few good recording engineers. The problem is the star is the only person that is celebrated, and the recording or audio engineer gets a mini print of his unknown name somewhere at the back of the cd cover if ever. So very few want to excel at all. They just pickup the money and go.They are unsung heroes. To prove my point name me ten good recording engineers you know. You can name ten good singers(artists) quickly but not the former.

It's a case of David vs the Goliath. The EL 84 is really good and with those back loaded box it's a perfect match.  Romeo and Juliet? I challenge you guys out there and take a listen for yourself. If you find them other than what I heard, I guess it's about time to have a check up with my ear doctors.

mahirap yata ang equation hehe. What I know Cd players are not all the same, so are amps and loudspeakers. But cd's vary in alignment, most specially the burn one. You could play it in your computer and it sounds good, but in another cd player it sounds thin or lack bass. I think it has to do with alignment, but I could be wrong.
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: bz on May 03, 2008 at 08:04 AM
The CD is the culprit in the above equation?

A never ending quest for the ultimate perfect sound huh? I guess to each his own in approaching this ultimate nirvana also huh? Mine in my own experience will be these priority in achieving what I believe is best in listening to good music:
1. Go for a live concert on your favorite artist.
2. Buy a good speaker or amps whichever will give you the first opportunity to get one. (case will be when budget is limited)
3. Get a midle of the road cd player (good quality player is getting cheaper and cheaper)
4. Get ordinary oxygyn free cables with the purest copper you can find
5. Buy as much cd you can be that you like if you go for diversity or stick to a few audiophile cd if you are analytical in listening to music or ballance of both to your liking.
5. Earn more money and upgrade any of the above

Any suggestions and experience out there?

By the way will getting an amp with tone control minimize the search for ultimate matching cables or is it just a compromise?

Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: AMXTube on May 04, 2008 at 10:33 PM
I believe tone controls are to be used only as a way of compensating or correcting to ones taste the recording quality and should never be used for equipment shortcomings. A well set up system should sound great without resorting to tone controls, assuming you have the right recordings. Also when listening to less than ideal formats, like mp3 recording, a little tone control will do the trick of finding musical satisfaction from your system.
Cables and connectors that is another animal altogether. There are good cables and bad cables are the ones that deteriorate the signal. But the degree of goodness is something left to the buyers ear, that I cannOt question, it is his ear and not mine. iF IT PLEASES YOU THEN THATS IT.

This would be versatile since i live in a small place (all in about 30 sqm)
Price : normal to average or should we say "bang for the buck" for its sound and its price

I want the characteristics of a tube Amp because of its warm and life-like sound, but i am falso ond of watching movies even though the sound would come from 2.1 channels.

Artists that i enjoy listening to: Jacintha (especially the Autumn Leaves Album), Alison Krauss, Noon, Emi Fujita/Le Couple, Pat Coil, JB Project, James Newton Howard - more of Vocal and Dynamic.  ( would these two be contradicting on tubes? ).

Seeking for you advise.. you may post the Equipment here and please pm me the breakdown and the price.

Thank you very much!


Ps. please complete everything including the wires (as it would greatly influence the system) and if any or necessary to protect the system- line conditioners )

just got my KT88 SIngle ended tube amp at Kinetic audio the other day

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc136/AVX3MWP/Surplus005.jpg)

i never expected that i would actually be getting an amplifier that same day.  ive auditioned and auditioned and visited a lot of stores and those AMX tube amps performed more than i expected! And way better than the more expensive ones!

Good Price, friendly and knowledgeable sales People (and when i say this with an emphasis on real assistance, they never get tired of waiting - and pretty honest on what they say!).


Definitely, you get your hard-earned money's worth!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
( And yes, you can swipe the amps with your credit cards  ;D )


Hats Off to your AMX amps Andrew! Thanks to you and RJ

amen :D

shall i say that im the next in line to buy your amp? just in case you upgrade ahhahah!!!

thanks sir andrew for the warm welcome and for the words of wisdom we gathered from you.

even if we kept on changing amps and speakers during the audition you endlessly gave us options.

that single ended amp sure is one hell of a performer.

Come to think of it these AMX tube amps may be called entry level tube amps by some but they are by no means ENTRY LEVEL TUBE AMPS!!! If I am not mistaken there is one who even change his highly rated Sonic Frontiers for an AMX preamp! The entry level amp (if price is your means of rating) is NO ENTRY LEVEL when it comes to sound. Maybe you can start with an integrated tube amps first then let your ears decide where it will lead you.

i was with heist when he bought the amp from kinetic audio what makes me go wow is the

amount of detail and body this amp that sir andrew has created. AMAZING! i have heard some

tube amps with pre amps (conrad johnsons) and the body is somehow lacking, then again

audio is very subjective. this amp can rival most of the 100k plus amps and to top it all off

it hasnt even been broken in hehehe. sir andrew thank you for creating such a masterpiece.

we also heard another amp which andrew has made, its very detailed in reproducing frequency

ranges @ 700hz up and even made us consider getting that amp instead (its 10k php lower in price) but

what the heck heist wants the best and thats what he got  ::)

il try to make a review of the amp as soon as i can, and btw the blue glow on the kt88 is priceless  ;D

i currently am using a dared mp5 hybrid amplifier im very happy with it (gainclone) the vp - 16 is almost

at the same price range as the amplifier i suggest you get this as for the price sir andrew is very

accommodating ;) 

the wharfedales just wont do for tube amps, look for speakers with at least 87db sensitivity or higher

ive tried the 8.4's on the mp5 and the volume is almost @ the 2 o clock position just to make

it audible :( not good. 

the usher speakers that sir andrew has is very nice tho ;D

Blue glows inside tubes are not bad news at all.  These are electrons hitting the glass envelopes and shows off the blue glow, what is bad in power tubes is a pink colored glow which indicates a gassy tube. Blue is harmless,  and does not affect the sound at all. Many people look for it and like it. But there is another blue that we look for, for us guys who worked with tubes since the 1960's.  It is the pale blue light that can be seen through the anode windows of the tube. This is the electron flow from cathode to plate. You need to darken the room and look closely, and be careful not to burn your nose, hehe. :D I have observed this particularly in the EL84's and EL34's Just a little trivia to share with you tube lovers. May your tribe increase. The Sylvania tube manual if you can get hold of one discusses this blue glow phenomena.

Hi,
What's the difference between a tube buffer and tube pre-amp?
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: AMXTube on Jun 08, 2008 at 03:31 PM
Hi,
What's the difference between a tube buffer and tube pre-amp?


Generically the same, but function wise different. A buffer only practically speaking isolates a source say a cd player from the amplifier. Thes is usually done by presenting a high impedance to the source, and presenting a low impedance to the following stage which could be  a pre-amp or an integrated amplifier. Usually the gain is unity or less than unity. It somehow preserves the source impedance by means of not loading it. The Pre-amp in most common terms has a function of increasing the gain of the source like a CD player to level enough to drive the power amplifier which has higher drive requirement than the source like a CD player can deliver. Pre amps usually have a buffering effect already built in by design. It usually has a high input impedance ( 500,000 ohms), thereby preserving the CD players source impedance, increases gain from anywhere between 10 to 27db, and driving the load with a low impedance sometimes as low as 100 ohms.I hope my explanation satisfies your query. Glad to be of help then.

a tube buffer? a pre-amp? or integrated amp na lang, using the analog outs of my cd player (keeping the digital out going to the marantz), the lipat-lipat na lang ng speaker connection?

Suggest ko after getting some answers, bring your cdplayer,favorite cds,  speakers and wires to Robinsons and spent your time there by switching from one to another amp available for sale there. Nakapagpili ka na nag enjoy ka pa.

I assume that what you want is to experience tube sound for music. Tube HT is also excellent even only 2.1. It is less distracting IMHO. Connecting the analog output of a CD player to a tube preamp and connecting it back to your Marantz  amp will be the most economical way and without the hustles of having to switch speaker from one amp to another. The contribution of the preamp is substantial but to some not enough. Ideally I would go for integrated tube amplifier. But I see that your loudspeaker system is only 86dB so you will need about 50 watts per channel at least.

I am sorry, but one cannot replace an El84 with a Kt88 without changing a lot of things. El84 is a miniature 9 pin tube, and a Kt88 is an octal/8pin tube. You will need to change the sockets, thus rewire the amplifier. Secondly, the KT88 has a higher power rating than an EL84, therefore the output transformer and the power transformer will likewise be changed, and they will be physically larger in dimensions, so you will need a bigger chassis. It is practically building a new one. I hope I have clearly explained it. Thank you for your question striker!

Forte 6550/ 60 watts per channel
Forte EL34/50 watts per channel

Minima EL34 Push Pull Class A/ 25 watts per channel
Sonatina EL84 Push Pull 15 watts per channel
ARIA 6L6GC/EL34 SE 10 watts per channel


In order to give the lowest and most accurate price, we now refrain from giving a quote unless the product is manufactured and on stock. Prices of materials are quite volatile these days, with prices of steel plates and copper magnet wires changing on a daily basis so we are always on the look out for best prices we can get from our suppliers. For this reason we refuse to issue price list, so we will not be compromised with too high a price or loosing prices. For prices of the above listed equipment please call 7103432 or 6874805.

sir regarding your allegro 60 watts el34, how many el34 tubes per channel is being utilized?  kasi ive asked someone na if you use only 2 power tubes per channel, baka daw  1 year pa lang pundido na ang tubes? is it true? wat determines the amount of watts ba in an amp?

tnx sir
Hindi naman ganoon 1 year out na. That is an uninformed opinion. EL34 can take the full dissipation and play for 5,000 hours according to manufacturers. Check your tube manual and you will not have to guess. 60 watts is normal for El34 in 20%-30% UL connected with 480 volts HT and -37v grid bias, with 3.5k plate-plate impedance (EICO HF60 Mono Block). Now with about 430v HT and -48v grid bias 40% ul tap at 4.5 to 6k plate to plate impedance then the output will be around 30-35 watts (ST70). If you connect the Tubes in pentode mode and have a 750V HT and about 400v screen voltage and -35volts grid bias with plate-to-plate load impedance then you can get a power output of 100 watts! This is according to Philips tube manual or Telefunken or Mullard. I believe the new issues are very similar. Output is determined by the tubes operating points. In class A single ended you are using up the tube to the max but your output is only 10 watts. At 60 watts of allegro the current is set only at 45ma to 60ma per tube as against a single ended EL34 that operates at 90ma, which is double, yet with only 10 watts output. I hope i was of help. Thank you for your question. Next question please.

tnx sir,

sandy

Sound-wise for me triode mode presents a smooth but rather laid back character, great for classics and solo performances, pentodes are great for Jazz, pop music because its got more sizzle than triode mode, ultra-linear is the middle road guy, it is technically a quasi or partial triode. This  is according to my listening analysis only.
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: AMXTube on Jul 30, 2008 at 10:57 PM
Oh another thing I am designing now  a dual mode line stage (pre-amp). You can switch from Pentode operation to triode operation. Only draw back is you get a greater gain on pentode mode, but that could be worked on.

would triode, pentode and ultralinear be similar to push-pull and single ended?

thank you
Triodes and Pentodes,Tetrode are tube types. Ultra-linear is a way of connecting a pentode/tetrode tube in Push pull or single ended configuration. Push-pull is a circuit configuration of connecting triodes or pentodes/tetrode,  using at least two tubes. Single ended uses one tube only in the output. the tube maybe pentode/tetrode or triode. The Pentode single ended may be connected in ultralinear fashion or triode connected, by connecting the screen grid to the plate, the pentode acts like a triode. A triode is a 3 element tube, Plate, Control Grid and Filament/ Cathode. The pentode/tetrode is a five element tube, The Plate, The Screen Grid, the control Grid  and the Supressor grid or beam plates for tettrodes, and filament/cathode. Ultra linear is done by having a tap in the output transformer and the screen grid connected to the tap.. A triode cannot be connected in ultralinear because a triode does not have a screen grid. Ultra-linear is a way of getting triode quality from a pentode tube but more in a more efficient way than a triode. This config was invented by Blumlein and patented  and made popular by Hafler and Keroes of Dynaco fame..  I hope I was of help. Thank you for the question.

Vacuum tubes discount is 10% unless item quoted as net prices, like the 12AX7LPS new arrival. This is a private sale by the way not a public one offered to any who comes. 20% discount on amps and 10% on stock tubes are Cash sale, CC payment is 15% and 5% respectively. This is limited offer, and we seldom do this. The previous time we put on "Sale Prices" tube amps was year 1999 back in Park Square.

ano ibig sabihin ng line stage only?

There are two types of preamplifier levels actually 3. A line stage only means the preamp can amplify signals to drive a power amp that has a level output anywhere from 250mv to 750mv. Typical of sound sources are CD, MP3, Tuners, Tape Decks. You need a line stage only preamp for this sound sources. If you need to play a Turntable then you need a magnetic phono preamp stage, this is an additional pre-amplification stage, most commonly used are MM or moving magnet. If your turntable has a MC or moving coil pickup you need an additional MC stage which could be another preamp or a signal transformer. I hope I was able to answer your query. Thank you for your question.

We found another sweet sounding EL84 push pull amp in our stock room at the shop and brought to  Robinsons. It looks like this is the last. 15k less 20% is a steal. It has mind you JJ El84 tubes giving more output than the Sovteks. Measured before clipping is 18 watts. But we conservatively rate this amp at 15 watts per channel.

Post by: bz on Aug 22, 2008 at 07:55 PM
I own an el84 assembled by AMX. All the time I was exposed to heavy commercialism that big watts equals better amps and sounds. Initially I snob on my 10 watts tube amp but lo and behold when I run it with my Epos 11 which is rated to have 86 sensitivity my jaw dropped. I have a small room power it up not beyond 10 oclock in the volume control. Since Andrew made it to handle 4, 8 and 16 ohms speakers for flexibility to choose speakers and a switch to either have it run in triode or pushpull he suggested to plug the epos into 4 ohms. Guess what? Lalong gumanda! Biwired it and it became more detailed. And these are just 10 watts amps. At 15k w less 20%  YOU MUST BE DEAF NOT TO BUY THEM or el84 is not your kind of sound OR............... I am deaf. Hahaha.
As for why it sounded nice in 4 ohms you guys better ask the guru. There are those who swear by the single ended and some for push pull,  I guess push pull is not bad after all.

That is very true, with moderately sensitive speakers, things can get loud at at 5 to 15 watts. 90dBSPL is the average sound level at the conductors stand in front of a symphony orchestra. With a 89 dB sensitivity loudspeaker system you only need 2 watts to get to 90 dB in a small room that is plenty loud.

I have read this item before. Although he does not say it aloud, this so called differnential amp is nothing new. This are two SE amp connected in bridge mode, One SE amp in opposite phase with another amp. You double the voltage output, thus higher power yet it retains the SE character, that is if they are perfectly balanced which is not difficult to attain. I built something similar to this for my friend in Oxford, but using el34 se, BRIDGE CONNECTED, back in 2004 pumping about 30 watts to the loudspeaker. It the strictest of sense a differential is push pull but not in its classical sense. One channel is positive going and the other is negative going, so you add up the two, or you can strap the inputs and series connect the outputs or invert one side and antiphase connect the outputs. This is done in proaudio when we bridge two channels of amplifiers into one workhorse and most car amplifiers are connected this way so you get a larger swing from a 12 volt Dc supply.
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: AMXTube on Sep 02, 2008 at 12:14 AM
Furthermore, look closely you will see two output transformers by Lundhal at the underchassis side, the bigger one is the output transformer, tell tale signs that this is a two channel SE amplifier strapped in one (Differential mode) to attain higher power. Not difficult to do but an expensive way, in stereo it is like building 4 channels.

Thanks Andrew,

The price charged for this is too expensive for my taste, I would like to run my system in a balanced connection from source - preamp -amp and was hoping you can make one. More expensive yes but benefits should be worth it like less noise. I will get in touch with you soon, I plan to use two monoblocks. thanks again

The amp described has to run in balanced mode. So the line preamp has a balanced differential output. Ready when you are. You still have my cell numbers.

The bias meter is to show whether you are bias when you are commenting on the quality of the sound from your system. .......... tama ba? just to lighten up things especially the gas has been going down.

Bias meter is needed i check if the tubes are still in its correct operating point. This will prevent the "red plate syndrome" of the power tubes most specially when people try to "tweak" the amp with out the necessary instruments. SayNG ANg TUBES!

Andrew,

Its been over a week until now my remote control for the AMX duetto eh di pa nabigay sa office ni wifey.  When I got the unit i hurriedly left without checking the box pag uwi ko wala ang remote, i called your branch immediately naman and inform them.  I cannot go back to your branch anytime soon to get it kanya I left several text messages to your salesman to deliver it to my wife pero wala pa rin hanggang ngayon.

Maybe you can intervene and advise your tao to deliver it.  Thanks.

just bring over the NAD and we will try them. Hindi pa for sale kasi understudy pa if there is a demand. Kasi i want to be sure may demand for this product. And I want to find out how much people are willing to pay for a gizmo like this. It can take COAX or Optical input. It has two sets of output, one direct SS output and another via "tube converter."

BTW the 211 was converted to 845, it has a more powerful output 24 watts per channel of Class A SET. The 211 put out only 18-20 watts in SE mode.

If it can make any old cdplayers sing like any new good cd players it's going to sell. Now if its also going to outperform those in the 50,000.00 and up budget cd players it's going to be like hot cakes. You know why? With the predicted ressession next year, instead of upgrading into a new and good cdplayer, upgrade the DAC then buy more CDs. Ano kaya buy those  good surplus cdplayers from japan sa pier and my friends would not even know it's surplus transport plus tube DAC. They might be in for a shock to know na galing sa pier lang and sounded like heaven?   I am excited to try it out. Any idea of the price?

At 20 plus watts it sure drives them JMLab speakers like they were 100 watts. Why is this? How come the 20 watts sounded more than my 50watts Class A Nelson Pass Designed amps with a more natural bass pa? I am assuming a good solid state can drive a good sounding bass but with this tubes? Is it my amp?

Sonatina uses EL84, push pull 15 watts per channel and the El34/6L6GC Minima has twice the power of 30 watts per channel. The Minima 6L6GC has a newer version, Class A push pull auto Bias 3 tubes per channel also 30 watts per channel. This has excellent sonics a fast dynamics. Price is also very low for the kind of performance it delivers

This is the 6L^GC Minima. The design is minimalist in philosophy. Limited number of stages to preserve sonic purity.

thanks , I was curious at the pre-amp section. from what I understand tubes amps requires  a driver tube and the pre-amp also requires a small tube. In some of your designs like the Sonatina, I see only a pair of small tubes..are these for the pre-amp section ?

Sonatina uses EL84, push pull 15 watts per channel and the El34/6L6GC Minima has twice the power of 30 watts per channel.

It will depend on the circuit design. Some use high gain tubes and minimum or no negative feed back. When such design is used a CD player with output level between 500milli volts to 2000 milli volts will be more than enough to drive the amp to full power output. Such is the case with EL84. Now some amps that use low gain tubes and hard to drive power triodes will almost always need a preamp.

Design simulations on my software gives about 50 watts output RMS. The thing is, it has very low output impedance unlike other tubes. this gives it a lot of drive to overcome loudspeaker reactances. Have you heard of SV572-3 power triodes? A pair of that tube in push pull config can deliver over 100 watts RMS. Maybe that is what is more apt to this low efficiency speakers. SV572 triodes are made Svetlana WInged C and much touted by Eric Barbour. But remember that all low efficiency loudspeakers suffer from power compression. The more power you drive it with, the hotter the voice coil gets, ergo increase in impedance follows, then lower current into the voice coil which translates to lower power to the loudspeaker thus weaker output. FYI

sir andrew, hows the performance of this one compare to sekt88?
Its hard to compare, kasi the el34 Overture is Push Pull and more powerful than the SEKT88. It will also depend on the type of loudspeakers being driven. SEkt88 is Single Ended and has some sonic advantages over push pull and the Overture is Push pull and has definite  advantages in power and dynamics. In the  very near future we will redo our Parallel SE with a pair of KT88 or El34 to gain almost  twice the power of a single SEkt88, (35watts/ch Class A KT88 Parallel Single Ended and 24 watts/ch for a EL34 Parallel Single Ended)) but that is the near future. I will announce that as it comes up. The alternative now is the SE845,at 24 watts per channel it has power, dynamics and SE advantage, but its quite pricey to some.

thanks nga pala sa good deal sa SEKT88 sir ! okay ang audio match sya sa new loudspeaker na binili ko.

Hi Sandy, no problem with he horn speakers, they are ultra efficient like 101dB@1w@1m! So all you need is 3 watts for a home situation. The 300B rated at 10-12 watts will be more than sufficient. Yes  have 300b and 2A3. Please visit www.amxtubeaudio.com The website has been updated. thanks

Please check out your Turntables interconnect cables,  get dual shielded types. The ones with aluminum foil shield (RF Shield) and copper braid( Low Freq EMI). Use also a good power line filter that has true earth grounding. Sometimes using Ac Isolation transformers will remove the RFI. Sometimes not using the Ac Outlet ground will remove  RFI as experienced by another customer who lives in high rise condo. what happened was the Ac ground of the outlet served as an antenna. Another trick is to install a ferrite ring on your interconnect and AC power cord. Sometimes the RF1 comes in through the tone arm wirings. If your location is very near the radio station tower, then you need to use Balanced CMRR (Common Mode Rejection) phono preamps, just like the preamps in a Radio Station.

Sir ivann,

You have a very sensitive pair of drivers, I think that has a sensitivity of about 100db/1w/1m.  You are very lucky to have them and i suggest you go ahead with single ended triodes.  Not everyone can opt for set because of sensitivity issues.  Go for 2a3 or 300b.

Btw can you please post pictures of your altec speakers. It is suppose to be a duplex speaker? Is yours in an open baffle configuration? Congrats on your speakers, altecs are very nice and sought after.  Are they vintage alnicos?

actually im not really well versed to the speakers that we have. my dad was the one that bought it before together with altec power amp.

configuration ko right now:

CD Player ----> Altec 1269 power amp -----> altec 619-8a speakers.

yup duplex speaker siya sir.

gusto ko sana mapaganda ang audio setup namin na ito. yung for HT ko kasi ibang setup na naka all yamaha.

Can any of you guys recommend the best one for my set-up? I'm currently using a pair of 90's KEF Q90 floorstander (sensitivity is 89db, 8 ohm). The player is a Marantz DV6001 dvd audio/video/sacd unit. Thanks.

you need a minimum of 16 watts to get the best out of your speakers. ofcourse, depending on how large your room is. just my 2cents :)

Hi sir larry, i still dream of your horn speakers, hehe, ot, i agree with mr camoteque, but i believe if you listen to fast paced music you need more powerful amps, push pull perhaps, and more than 35 watts/channel
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: sonnysin168 on Jan 20, 2009 at 01:09 PM
Thanks for your suggestions/recommendations. I have to add that the room size is approximately 3.00m x 6.00m, I listened mostly to blues, some rock, pop, jazz and sparingly classical (Mozart). Also, if I ever did buy a tube integrated amp, I also plan to use my Mordaunt-Short MS 20i Pearl speakers (sensitivity 89db, 8 ohms) as an alternate. The MS is currently located at our living room (approx. 4.00m x 4.00m).

I read that single-ended amps sound better than push pull but the former have less powerful output. I'm leaning towards a push pull 50w or 75w but the thought that single ended sounds better is giving me second thoughts.

Can you please make additional recommendations? Thanks a lot.
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: camoteque on Jan 20, 2009 at 05:19 PM
medyo ot na ito. my suggestion is if you really like se - buy an amx se amp and then complement it with a high sensitivity speaker. otherwise, you may just get frustrated and go and sell either the se amp you will buy or your current low sensitivity speaker if these two are matched. you should decide where you want to go.

low sensitivity speakers require high power.
high sensitivity speakers need only a few watts of amp power.
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: sonnysin168 on Jan 20, 2009 at 05:44 PM
Thanks for your forthright answer Camotheque. Maybe the push pull amp is more suited to me since the two mentioned speakers have sort of attachment to me.
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: AMXTube on Jan 20, 2009 at 10:07 PM
A note about  sensitivity of loudspeaker systems: All manufacturers give out the sensitivity of their loudspeakers, like for example: 89dB 1 watt 1 meter, which means that if you pump in 1 watt into the loudspeaker the SPL or sound pressure level will be 89dB if you are 1 meter away from it. Without considering room reflections the level will drop by 6dB every time you move away at double the distance, so 2 meters away the sound pressure level (SPL) will be 83dB/ Fine, but the problem is very few would give you the max SPL rating of their loudspeakers before it goes into breakup or its woofers bottom out. Theoretically you need to double your power to get a 3dB SPL increase, and 3db spl increase is not perceived to be twice as loud by the human ear. The sensitivity of our ears is not linear but logarithmic. The other point I would like to make is that loudspeakers have what you call power compression points. So no matter how high you drive the loudspeaker (more power) it fails to play any louder it just goes into burning mode.. So what am I driving at, if you desire or love to play loud music (loud is beautiful, i like to play loud and feel the musical presence at times) make sure that your loudspeaker can really play loud. The watts rating don't tell you. It only tells you how much power it can soak before it becomes a burnt offering. Look for the MAXIMUM SPL RATING. Cheers!

Hi AMX,

I'm just wondering if its possible for a custom built tube amp coz I have a coming speakers and I need a custom made tube amps to match it aesthetically. I'm new into tubes and I don't know which circuit topography will suit my needs. I'm still not decided yet if monoblocks or single chasis and single ended or push pull. So far what I only have in mind are the following:

1. Piano finish front plates and knobs with matte black chassis.
2. Torroidal, high grade capacitors and resistors
3. Exotic side wood panel and patented AMX logo

Thanks ???

Sure, no problem with your listed request.  Let me know the loudspeaker specifications when you have chosen which one to have and behold. In audio, it is a three-some union, your amp and electronics, your loudspeaker, then you and your music. They must all co-habit in peace or there will be trouble then separation or divorce.

DEAR AMX: I'm mildly intrigued by the "stimulus-priced" OVERTURE 6550. I have no decent sound system but I have a Denon universal player and an AKG headphone. Kindly tell me what speaker brand and specs will you recommend for this tube amplifier, and second, is the 6550 useful too for private listening thru the AKG?

When stating a suggestion for the speaker please cite bookshelf sizes only, or something whose dimensions can at least be placed even inside an Orocan chest drawer compartment. My home is too small. As well, please cite dimensions for the 6550, how does it compare from two hollow blocks sitting side by side?

Finally, can the promo-priced Overture be valued at best, at 25% less if paid in cash and do you deliver to Cavite province? Will be gratefull for your closest consideration.

If I may make suggestions...

How about the name Sveta? SVETA is a Russian female name that means Light. I think this will give it a Russian identity.

Aparently, Svetlana is also a female name that means light. Is there by any chance that the 6C33C tubes to be used are Svetlanas?

as for the color scheme, I would like Sveta to dress in Chrome and RED (as in USSR communist Red) to blend in with the theme. :) Although I have read in this thread that Sir Andrew can customize the finish to customer's specs, I wish the production model would be made as such so I don't have to pay a premium price :) Hehehe baka-sakali lang...

Even before hearing it, I am 80% sold on this amp already, with the remaining 20% to be determined by the price. I already own 2 AMX amps and a preamp all bought 2nd hand and I am very happy with them. Im sure this new one will not disappoint.

Just wanted to thank you Sir Andrew for the wonderful little 5 watt SE el84 amp I got from Kinetic Audio last week. I was so pleasantly surprised how loud it can get, it easily drives my 90 db floorstanders. Especially after trying out my dear friend Oweidah's generous gift of NOS tubes (Matsus**ta and Amperex), it's everything I ever wanted from my audio -- airy, detailed, natural-sounding with great imaging. They would have saved me a lot of unnecessary gear expenses if I had found them earlier. But all's well that ends well. (It's even a terrific match with my analog source-- Gr-1 TT to a Pro-ject Phono box).

Thanks again and kindest regards.

Ano ba sir andrew ang best place to start with tubes? CD buffer? SET? PP? Please help a noob.

To answer your question, let me base on what I have observed.
. It all depends on the money you want to spend first.

1.. low budget: CD buffer, will let you experience "tube warmth" if your ear is sensitive to this peculiar quality.

2. SET is ultimate tube sound enjoyment if you have high sensitivity loudspeakers, that is 92dB or higher. The higher the better. Horn loaded, with 2 or 3 watts, fantastic.

3. PP if you have those difficult to drive "modern" inefficient loudspeakers with tons of crossovers, large capacitors high wattage ratings, bought accidentally or otherwise, a hand me down or got in bargain.

4. PP if you are "the rock guy pump up the volume, hey neighbor I've got great stereo, lets party-type of
listener, couple them with high efficiency horn loaded speakers, possibly bi-amp them, and help it with a little more bass with 18 inch woofers. Exciting!

5. if you are the private type, "its my music kind of Guy, in my own little private world of music", then get on with tube headphone amp. It's is not very expensive.

So , different strokes for different folks. and I respect every man's choice.  ;D

Raygun,
Welcome to the el84 club. with a set of high sensitive speakers the el84 can be a giant killer too. Latter in life when you get to listen to some 1 watter amp on a set of those high sensitive drivers you might say to yourself "why on earth do I even need a 5 for that matter. But for now enjoy them. Say that gave me an idea why don't we form an el84 amx club where in we can share our experiences? Syempre, si Andrew ang ninong. He takes care of the coffee pag may meet sa shop nya. Hahaha. Game ka ba Andrew?

Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: bz on Jun 19, 2009 at 11:59 AM
Am I on the right track in my quest for a good sound?
This is what I ask myself when I was contemplating buying my first tube amp. What makes them different? Technology wise I am challenge but one thing for sure I like to listen to live musice whether jazz or classical music (UP conservatory or other schools having their recitals or concerts are venue to get oneself familiar with them sound. If you have the money go to CCP or a bar gig). Therefore, the stereo hardware set up  should come close to those natural timber and sound from the instruments will be my best bet..... Therefore the only way to choose them is using your own pair of ears and choose the combination that you LIKE. Not your friends nor the sales rep. It takes some patience and it sure is a journey in discovering what you really like. This "like" changes also in time and also depends on one's mood.
What makes the parts different between the AMX and the branded ones. I guess there are not much difference because they can be sourced from the same manufacturer if you want to.
What makes the design different? I guess most of the tube manufacturers were using 70 years old tried and tested designs. I don't think there are new designs maybe inovation of the design but the basic designs were from the '30s.
Assembly? I have no doubt with Filipino skills.
Marketing? I think this is where it makes a big difference. The branded imported ones have great marketing strategies.
AB ing? You try it yourself. Don't be shock when you found out that your very expensive gears are not much far away from the AMX. (my experience) At times a big frustration when you found out the AMX brewed sounded better.
Economics? Is spending thousands of pesos more (branded) worth the sound?
Is it proper to compare them? I guess only those who are into audio using their ears with a budget will be more than willing to compare them. And these are those who says to themselves "I don't care what brand or who made it as long as it sounded good..... and within my budget".
Can an AMX tube be as expensive as the branded ones? Why not. Give andrew the specs of using silver wires, 5,000 peso plus per capacitors, NOS tubes etc and you got an expensive gear. But will that sound be worth the money? Your choice again.
Is Andrew deaf? Now that's very important question. if the people behind an amp does not know the difference between a good violin and a bad violin sounds we got a problem. I ask Andrew myself how does he keep up to the technologies to mentain or improve the sound of the amps and he said......."I go to CCP to remind myself of the timber and sound of the instruments" I personally heard an interview with andrew by a media man on why and how he got started into manufacturing amps. He said " I basically love music." Seems far from the question but a good answer.
Is the amp tweakable? I once had a dream of owning a very expensive gold plated amp. my biggest fear was is it worth the money and can I tweak it latter? Or what if a cheaper one comes along and outperform my expensive ones? that gave me a big dilema cuz I am assuming that these foreign branded ones were already the ultimate and the reading from the audio magazines have shown they are up there in the scale........but what if I want to change the sound a little bit do i have the courage to tweak it? What if a cheaper one sounded good also? Are my ears deaf or are the writers being paid to do a good write up. I concluded that I should get a tube that will have the opportunity to tweak and yet not costing an arm and a leg. One day it made me feel so good when I found out that the very expensive amp that I was dreaming of was also being sold in Andrew's store (seond hand). I ask the sales rep there what's the story behind it and he said it was formerly owned by a Japanese guy who didn't like the sound and requested andrew to tweak it but after listening to one of AMX model he decided to trade it in for an AMX. I never made an offer or even try to ask how much he is selling it for.

Am I still on the right track?

Hi Boss Andrew.  Sent you a personal message regarding a repair and general query about my forte KT88 amp.

Thanks.
That was a long post. Actually Hifi audio is a little too complicated. There are just so many factors that come into the chain of sound. From the recording session (which you have no control of, other than choosing what to play or not) to the acoustics of your listening room.
As long as our goal is the music and how it ministers to us then we are in the right track. When one starts focusing too much on the hardware then in my opinion there is a possibility that one may get side tracked. Its like the old song, "the day the music died".
There is a limit to what can be attained in hifi reproduction. But i believe that the major contributor to ones musical ecstasy is the recording process. Many recordings are made in multi-track machines today. This is great for editing and making a mixdown, but the mix may not include the natural air of the studio as most instruments use close miking methods and often times recorded in different isolated chambers and are acoustically highly damped. What this does is it removes the natural atmosphere of a live performance. We must remember that one can ( reverberation and sound decays etc) actually hear the recorded atmosphere of the auditorium. In a live performance everything is mixed in the atmosphere of the auditorium. So then playing  back multi-track recording could sound quite artificial, compressed and highly processed. If you have trained ears (live music listening) then you sense the problem and sooner than later no matter what set up you have you become dissatisfied and most often we tend to focus on the setup but the fault is with the recordings we are listening to. The first thing I believe is we must choose the recordings well. A bad one, a highly processed recording will seldom sound natural to the trained ear. Many old recordings where done properly but sad to say today we rely too much on digital techniques of cut, copy and paste so the sound looses the integrity. I am convinced that a properly recorded live performance (and all musical performances are done live, studio or concert hall) will always sound great even in ordinary and simple hifi setups, and one could really enjoy the music, equipment notwithstanding. Heard any good recordings lately? I enjoy best the live onstage performances, to me its more natural than the edited ones. It could have some instruments go out of tune or out of sync, you could hear some coughing even, but that what makes it natural.

Hi boss.  My father-in-law just dropped off his KT88 amp at Kinetic yesterday.  He's asking what would be the turnaround time for the recommended general check up.  He's hoping he can pick it up by Saturday, since that's the only operational amp he has.

BTW, some questions from my father-in -law:

1) Do you have a tubed phone stage? How much if ever? 
2) Can you repair an old SS Sansui receiver?

Thanks!
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: dB10 on Aug 18, 2009 at 03:02 AM
Design simulations on my software gives about 50 watts output RMS. The thing is, it has very low output impedance unlike other tubes. this gives it a lot of drive to overcome loudspeaker reactances. Have you heard of SV572-3 power triodes? A pair of that tube in push pull config can deliver over 100 watts RMS. Maybe that is what is more apt to this low efficiency speakers. SV572 triodes are made Svetlana WInged C and much touted by Eric Barbour. But remember that all low efficiency loudspeakers suffer from power compression. The more power you drive it with, the hotter the voice coil gets, ergo increase in impedance follows, then lower current into the voice coil which translates to lower power to the loudspeaker thus weaker output. FYI

would this conclude that low sensitivity speakers are not ideal for tube amp and best left with ss amps? sorry for the newbie question, this is just how I understand it, please correct me if I am wrong. I want to learn about tube amps and  if this is for me.

Boss, sent you a PM and an email regarding the KT88 amp I'm sending over for service today.  It's mine and not the KT88 of my father-in-law that was recently repaired.  Thanks for that, btw.

Title: AMX Tube Dissipation settings
Post by: muypogi on Sep 09, 2009 at 09:23 AM
HI boss Andrew.  Haven't gotten  a reply yet on my PM.  Hope you don't mind if I post a more detailed question here:

I'm looking to change my 4 x KT88 tube complement with 4 x 6550 Tung Sol reissues.  I'd like to know if the Tung Sol reissues are drop in replacements for the Forte amp, which is 70wpc I think.

The guy who I'm dealing with in the states (Jim McShane, nice tube guy who refurbs HK Citation amps) says that the Tung Sol reissues were modeled after a 6550 variant which has only 35 watts dissipation, vs 46 watt dissipation for the 6550A and 6550C models, both of which can be drop in KT88 replacements.

Any suggestions?

Post by: muypogi on Sep 12, 2009 at 06:19 AM
Just to update, I decided to go with a quad of SED Winged C 6550C tubes. Reviews on the internet show it's the best value for sound quality and durability. Also, my tube seller recommended it for bass, next to the more expensive Gold Lion reissue. Boss Andrew noted that the Tung Sol may not like being in a KT88 amp.

Hoping this solves my bass problem. . .

Andrew thanks for the refurbishing and complete check up and repair of my Pioneer tube receiver. So is the analog tuner. The pioneer tube reciever has a verty good sound but a different vintage sound. The phono section is also superb. It makes me wonder why they leave the tubes in the sixties. thanks again. My problem now is too many vintage amps and speakers in the house. Planning to sell them. I think I am about to cry.

Post by: ATJr. on Nov 16, 2009 at 08:54 AM
That was a long post. Actually Hifi audio is a little too complicated. There are just so many factors that come into the chain of sound. From the recording session (which you have no control of, other than choosing what to play or not) to the acoustics of your listening room.
As long as our goal is the music and how it ministers to us then we are in the right track. When one starts focusing too much on the hardware then in my opinion there is a possibility that one may get side tracked. Its like the old song, "the day the music died".
There is a limit to what can be attained in hifi reproduction. But i believe that the major contributor to ones musical ecstasy is the recording process. Many recordings are made in multi-track machines today. This is great for editing and making a mixdown, but the mix may not include the natural air of the studio as most instruments use close miking methods and often times recorded in different isolated chambers and are acoustically highly damped. What this does is it removes the natural atmosphere of a live performance. We must remember that one can ( reverberation and sound decays etc) actually hear the recorded atmosphere of the auditorium. In a live performance everything is mixed in the atmosphere of the auditorium. So then playing  back multi-track recording could sound quite artificial, compressed and highly processed. If you have trained ears (live music listening) then you sense the problem and sooner than later no matter what set up you have you become dissatisfied and most often we tend to focus on the setup but the fault is with the recordings we are listening to. The first thing I believe is we must choose the recordings well. A bad one, a highly processed recording will seldom sound natural to the trained ear. Many old recordings where done properly but sad to say today we rely too much on digital techniques of cut, copy and paste so the sound looses the integrity. I am convinced that a properly recorded live performance (and all musical performances are done live, studio or concert hall) will always sound great even in ordinary and simple hifi setups, and one could really enjoy the music, equipment notwithstanding. Heard any good recordings lately? I enjoy best the live onstage performances, to me its more natural than the edited ones. It could have some instruments go out of tune or out of sync, you could hear some coughing even, but that what makes it natural.

words of wisdom indeed! ;D and may i add....do not get obssesed with cables and interconnects...and get a good set of speakers.... ;D

+100.....Just get a good set of cables and ICs (notheing exotic and expensive) ---- You have the works of CAL for both IC and speaker cables....that's it.

Then work on the speakers and components.

Enjoy and do not spend too much.

The last time I went there there, I listened to some speakers that he was experimenting on (I don't know if it's done). How does it sound? You can hear them but you can't pinpoint which one is playing. They are there for you to guess which. Nagtatago yata ....hahaha.
They have a band also always on call for your  request and are ready to play the music you want and they will play and sing it for you......LIVE!!!! Hahaha It could be my ears are failing me again as well as my eyesight. Enjoy!!!!

, I need a tone control desperately. Natauhan na ako. I don't want to spend a lot of time and money making trial and errors on cables and wires. As well as mixing and matching speakers and amps. Ayoko ng maging minimalist. tone control lang pala ang kailangan para mailapit (though not perfect?) yung missmatch ng cables and speakers.
May sinabi kang most of the recordings are now mixed for automobile audio and may not sound as it should be in home audio? Tama ba yun?

Hi Andrew,

Sir, thanks for this excellent sounding and cute little amp. :)  This baby sounded more warm, wide and open with the JJ's and RCAs.  The choice of 6BL8 tubes greatly affect/improved the overall sound performance.

RCA - Relax and warm (the best so far)
GE - Detailed with additional crisp on the highs
Tungsram - Bit Aggressive but also very detailed - Better matched with JJ and Shuguang
Sylvania - laidback and neutral but would be better if paired with the Svets.
RCA 6U8A - find it almost similar to the Sylvanias.

I'm eyeing next on the 6BL8's from Raytheon, Brimar and Amperex.  Somebody offered me online :)

Regards,

As for me I trust first your ears cause if those ears goes no matter how good a technician is there's no way to tweak those amps. Amps are made of so many parts and what matters is what parts will give that particular sound. What makes it more complicated is what combination of parts will make that particular sound. Insured ba tenga mo???

By the way kamusta na ang active crossover natin. Ok na ba or laking sakit ng ulo. hahaha. Excited ako makadinig ng tri-amping a 3 way speaker system.

Tapos sinubok ko yung speaker na ikabit sa ibang tube amp...ok naman yung speaker pareho...kaya ang problema ay dun sa amx forte...patulong naman po sir andrew at sa lahat ng mga bosing natin jan...maraming salamat po.

Try mong pagpalitin yung mga tubes and try to figure out if it is the tubes. If not the tubes, then it is more serious problem then.

My friend and I ABd Mr Sevillas pure tube Rhapsody preamp with external psu and boutique parts against Conrad Johnson PV2 - P50k, Jadis JPS2 - P235k, Audionote The Preamp Kit - P40k and the French Kora preamp - P240k. The AMX held its ground well. In fact, we preferred it over the imports because of its warmth, smoothness, dynamics, definition and sweetness.

blind-fold?
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: Mr.T.one on Nov 25, 2010 at 10:31 PM
no, not blind folded. we ran the audition for several days and each time, the amx won. we would have preferred the beautiful imports because we were seeing the components but we didnt. the catch is, the amx was full of boutique parts like mundorf, paper in oil caps, vishay, etc. whereas the imports have stock parts like,for example,regular nichicon caps in the case of jadis jps2. but even with boutique parts, the amx cost just 1/8 of jadis. it confirms what engineers are saying, pare-pareho lang ang circuitry nyan. the imports cost a lot more because of taxes, duties, marketing, importation cost, beautiful casework, high end mystique cost, etc. and i know if i ABd my sonic frontiers sfl1 se, it would sound dry like the french kora preamp compared with the amx rhapsody.

associated equipment were dynaudio contour 3.4, manley snapper monoblocks, xindak fs-1 speaker cable, transparent music link single ended ic, transparent plus balance ic, synthesis pride cd player, mitchell gyrodec turntable with rb300 tonearm and benz micro ace high output mc cartridge.

He even tried to sell the Cayin and planned to have the AMX Overture El34 but unfortunately, he couldn't find a buyer for his amp here in Singapore.  So he has no option but to live with the Cayin for the meantime and hoping to have an AMX on his next upgrade :)

Not only the SQ sir but also the parts, I've seen a Cayin MT-35 output transformer (repaired at AMX) so small compared to AMX Minima with the same output rating.  :)

with output transformers, size is not everything......the pratice seems to be to get away with the smallest traffo for the job....

increasing size of traffo is always good in terms of saturation, but leakage reactance and inter-winding capacitance increases as the traffo size increases....it is all a balancing act..... ;)

design of output traffo is more of an art than science..... ;D

power ratings in an amp is never a yardstick for sound quality, the power ratings was one of the myths perpetrated by marketing boys to justify the higher cost of so called higher powered amps......

your comments is a proof of this.....

my 6LU8 pp power amp is a mere 12 watter, but in terms of sq, a tad better than my 200watt T-amp.....

I agree....I have heard a 3.5watter EL84 and 2A3 on triode mode and damn....it can give justice on above average sensitivity speakers (89-91dB) on a small listening area with excellent presentation in terms of sq.

Much better if the loudspeakers is somewhere in 94-97dB sensitivity range @ 6-8 Ohms / 1w/1m. :)

I am from pasig also maybe we can have a pasig group get together with our AMXs. I ran el84 and never turned my volume control beyond the 10 o'clock mark though i ran it with some 12" full range open baffle. Satisfied na ako unless you guys can help me out what I am missing.

What tubes did the amps have ?

I had the large bottle Tungsol 6l6GC and the  the EH/Cayin Stock KT88 tubes, In the same amp,  the tungsol produced a lot of low frequency energy, very warm, actually too warm , whereas the EHKT88 was the exact opposite.


Tubes plays a big part on the SQ of  an amp, you can turn most if not all amps from a warm sounding amp to an ear splitting high frequency monster with different tubes.

IMHO ....This is one the best reasons to go tube

AMX anecdote:

just hooked-up my amx 300B SET 10-watter, matched with my incredibly efficient Kenwood LS P9200 4way, 7 driver, 400watt-max speakers...

i noticed the stock 12AU7 tube had hints of microphonics, unfortunate...  anyway, i go on with playing my usual test songs: ella fitz, gal costa, philip glass, etc...  sweet and wet, but i had to pinpoint what set the sound apart...

so i put on my benchmark vinyl "Children of Sanchez" Chuck Mangione for the NAKAKAIYAK BA TEST.  This album can make you cry listened through my Sennheiser HD598 through a tube preamp/headamp; but it fails to do so with my PushPull 6L6GC with speakers in my listening environment. 

set with the 300B electro-harmonix on amx SET -- nakakiyak.

no, not blind folded. we ran the audition for several days and each time, the amx won. we would have preferred the beautiful imports because we were seeing the components but we didnt. the catch is, the amx was full of boutique parts like mundorf, paper in oil caps, vishay, etc. whereas the imports have stock parts like,for example,regular nichicon caps in the case of jadis jps2. but even with boutique parts, the amx cost just 1/8 of jadis. it confirms what engineers are saying, pare-pareho lang ang circuitry nyan. the imports cost a lot more because of taxes, duties, marketing, importation cost, beautiful casework, high end mystique cost, etc. and i know if i ABd my sonic frontiers sfl1 se, it would sound dry like the french kora preamp compared with the amx rhapsody.

associated equipment were dynaudio contour 3.4, manley snapper monoblocks, xindak fs-1 speaker cable, transparent music link single ended ic, transparent plus balance ic, synthesis pride cd player, mitchell gyrodec turntable with rb300 tonearm and benz micro ace high output mc cartridge.
Coming up very soon...some very exciting and new designs are soon to be released.

Thanks for the nice encouragement. I just read this post today which was posted more than a year ago due to my very very busy skeds. Thanks, will work harder to even make better amplifiers.

When tube rolling, make sure power supply has fully discharged before pulling out tubes. Many amps have big capacitors where electric charge stays and may cause damage and sudden sparks when tubes are pulled out and plugged in. Just a friendly reminder.

Another way to make sure the caps have discharged is to turn off the power of the amp while music is playing> You will hear a fading sound,  this means that the reserve energy in the caps have been used up, that is if the amp is not equipped with auto muting circuit.

Another tube rolling safety pointer I may share is to warm the tube you are going to audition next by placing them near the amp or under a warm lamp. This will prevent a cold tube filament from getting a high inrush current which may shorten the life of a tube, unless your amp is equipped with a circuit that prevents high inrush start up current.

Possible ba ang isang tube amp na not less than 40wpc PP/UL but in Class A operating mode pero ang dimension ay 12" x 9"?  Tube compliments maybe either 6L6GC/KT66 or EL34/6CA7.  Not as warmed as the DHT but I find the PP/UL in Class A more relaxed and with a punch than amps in Class AB mode.  Thanks :)

Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: ATJr. on Jun 24, 2012 at 11:49 AM
classA push-pull has an efficiency of 25- 50%max, so at 40watts output, dc input must be 80 watts, that is too optimistic for a 6L6gc unless you are willing to be replacing output tubes every now and then....

(classAB has a classA reqion, ussualy the first few watts, now as sound level demands go up, they leave classA region and transitions to classB, that is why they are called classAB......classB is not so bad as some would like us to believe, David Berning's amps are like that.....)

with 30 watts plate rating, i can not see how it is possible, classA operates the tubes at maximum plate dissipation all the time...

classAB operates tubes in the 60 to 70% range so that tubes last longer...

but why worry about wattage? i stopped counting watts a long time ago.....sound quality is the most important.....

a 20 watter amp can sound the same as a 40 watter...amplifier wattage was invented by the marketing boys to justify the higher costs, the higher the wattage, the more expensive it becomes.....it is never a yardstick for quality....

most of the things we hear are borne out of our prefferences and biases which may or not jibe with reality....

reality is, if you want to know the power of your amp, the way to do it is by using dummy loads, a scope and a function generator, ac can then be measured at the onset of clipping....

consumers are really at the mercy of vendors, even if they say that amp is 40 watts, how are you going to know for sure?

so for consumers i suggest that the focus should be on the sound quality, how your amp drives your speakers is what really matters in the end...

i use NTC resistors to limit inrush currents and swamp start-up transients on my power transformers, these resistors look like MOV's but has a dc resitance anywhere between 3 to 15 ohms cold, now as current flows thru them, they heat up and as a consequence resistance drops to sub ohm range.... ;)

Hi Tony, thank you for this explanation, indeed very informative.  I agree with you on the sound quality and numbers doesn't make sense at all for power output, however given the reality of some good sounding loudspeakers that  are quite low in terms of sensitivity and many may find it hard to be driven by low powered amps.   Well of course it depends on how loud one can play their music and what type of music they prefer.  Like for example a loudspeaker say in between 84dB - 86dB into 8 Ohms, low powered amp can drive this, why not but do you think it can maximized the full potential of the loudspeakers?  I am a believer of the first 3watts in audio, I find it more pure (because when I was 15yrs younger, I had this silly-mode of listening to a 400watts amp unleashing hell)...The reason why I am asking this question is for the sake of research and understanding.

Once I've listened to a good sounding yet power hungry British-made loudspeakers driven by a powerful Conrad Johnson 6550 monoblocks...I was in awe, I thought Hank Jones was inside the listening area playing his grand piano, indeed it was very brilliant....then afterwards I asked the shop owner to try a 10watter set, then the owner said "cannot" (bacause at the time there was this SET amp being serviced by the technician on the said shop).  But I insisted and then the shop owner asked his technician to hook-up this elegant-looking 300B with the pair of rosewood-finished British MI-6 (just a code).  A few minutes ago, I am almost on my audio orgasm listening to the ebony & ivory notes of Hank Jones, but when this beautiful 10watter SET played...Bang, I never thought it was Hank Jones who was playing anymore, I thought it was somebody who's notes went berserk...it was horrible and I might say, unlistenable.

Then I remember an old friend of mine in Tampa who once told me that there's no such thing as an "amplifier that does it all"  He then asked me "Do you want to hear a seductive voice like a bombshell singing inside a hotel lounge past after midnight, go for 2A3 or 300B, but if you want to hear how Jimmy Page and John Bonham played their instruments like a madman in "Songs Remains The Same"....?  Get a KT88 or 211.

So my enquiry is about, is there an amp (on a 12 x 9 dimension) that has at least the mids of EL34 but with the punch of 6L6 if not KT88 on a relaxed operating mode of Class A or let's make it this way, an amplifier that can play a like a SET but can drive like a Push Pull (on small package coz I know, this can be done in big-sized & monoblock packages / single ended-parallel).  Is my question valid, does it make sense?  Any inputs are welcome and I thank you and everybody in advance, again this is only for research and understanding purposes.  :)
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products

your question is asking too much...unless those were  mono-blocks...i'd say 20watts is more realistic.....

agree on the low sensitivity speakers, you need bigger power for those....

maybe an 829b pp amp, rated 20 watts.....can fit a 12 x 9 chassis...

may i share a part of my audio journey

one of a kind pair of AMX 211 mono amp landed in my humble abode a fews years ago.. my AMX preamp and AMX mono amps were custom made to my needs by kuya Andrew Sevilla from blank sheets of paper to actual functioning units. they sing with much confidence that these trio bear the "Andrew Sevilla" name plate mounted on the chassis/bodies.

AMX 211 mono amps:
these very authoritative 200wpc push/pull mono amps pushed various transducers to "lively/musical" level with ease, no doubt. each amp weighs at least 26kgs !!

btw, i am an avid fan of ultra-linear 4 ohms Dynaudio transducers for more than a decade already.
i enjoyed listening to various Dynaudio series from excite, audience, contour, confidence, evidence (and recently, the consequence ultimate edition) as these transducers deliver my preferred SQ  ;)

The choice of an amp (and its performance) is limited by the kind of speakers it is going to be hooked-up into.

My take is this (and just my opinion): a different set of speakers for SET amp, another set of speakers for PP amps. You cannot expect true SET sound from a PP amp and true PP sound from a SET amp. The two types of amps have different characters.

I think 12" x 9" (slightly bigger than an A4 paper) maipagkakasya. 6 tubes, 4 power tubes, 2 driver tubes. 40 watts PP/UL kaya with El34's or 6CA7 or better yet KT77. 6l6gc family tubes 30 - 35 watts only for class AB1
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products

But it might be better to use KT120 tubes in class A PP/UL. It has a higher plate dissipation and can take higher bias current.

I find 6L6 tubes more relaxed than El34 even in Class AB. I have tried biasing it for full Class A in push pull, got only 18 watts, but beautiful 18 watts with no harshness.

I think 12" x 9" (slightly bigger than an A4 paper) maipagkakasya. 6 tubes, 4 power tubes, 2 driver tubes. 40 watts PP/UL kaya with El34's or 6CA7 or better yet KT77. 6l6gc family tubes 30 - 35 watts only for class AB1

Sir do you sell these KT77 tubes?

a few years back, my good friend brother Voltz lend me his AMX tube preamp and a tube integrated amp. these combination matched well with my humble Dynaudio Confidence C1 transducers and preferred music genre. hence, the start of my journey in the HiFi Audio Tube World via AMX tube preamp and AMX tube mono amps  ;)

your question is asking too much...unless those were  mono-blocks...i'd say 20watts is more realistic.....

agree on the low sensitivity speakers, you need bigger power for those....

maybe an 829b pp amp, rated 20 watts.....can fit a 12 x 9 chassis...


Hi Tony,  yes it may be too much for now, but it may be not in the years to come as some SE & PP tube amps can now fit the palm of our hands....Like 60 yrs ago, people thought of computers like machines in mammoth-sized boxes powered by ECC9* designated electron devices and cooled by high capacity chilled water and blower air conditioning system,they even nicknamed it the BIG Iron.  Not until in the early 80's when the first recognized laptop was introduced.  Now, computers can be so small as the sized of a wrist watch.  Who might think in the old days that the science of computing can be this sophisticated as what we enjoy now.

Let's hope that one day, a new breed of output / power trannies will come out that would cater both SE & PP configuration in tiny packages so we could have or build a good & powerful sounding amps in smaller dimensions. :)
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: Signal2Noise on Jun 29, 2012 at 01:39 AM
The choice of an amp (and its performance) is limited by the kind of speakers it is going to be hooked-up into.

My take is this (and just my opinion): a different set of speakers for SET amp, another set of speakers for PP amps. You cannot expect true SET sound from a PP amp and true PP sound from a SET amp. The two types of amps have different characters.



Hi Camoteque, I agree with you that's why I owned both SET 845, KT88 PP-triode connected & 6L6GC PP Class A tube amps.  However, I become optimistic when I saw this slogan "Technology Never Sleeps"  Does it make sense?  :)

may i share a part of my audio journey

one of a kind pair of AMX 211 mono amp landed in my humble abode a fews years ago.. my AMX preamp and AMX mono amps were custom made to my needs by kuya Andrew Sevilla from blank sheets of paper to actual functioning units. they sing with much confidence that these trio bear the "Andrew Sevilla" name plate mounted on the chassis/bodies.

AMX 211 mono amps:
these very authoritative 200wpc push/pull mono amps pushed various transducers to "lively/musical" level with ease, no doubt. each amp weighs at least 26kgs !!
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp254/bass_nut/amx-IMG_7519ew2.jpg)


btw, i am an avid fan of ultra-linear 4 ohms Dynaudio transducers for more than a decade already.
i enjoyed listening to various Dynaudio series from excite, audience, contour, confidence, evidence (and recently, the consequence ultimate edition) as these transducers deliver my preferred SQ  ;)

Nice toy you have there, congrats :)

revealing mids.. natural decaying highs.. palpable bass ..ample but well controlled LF.. soundstage wide and deep that made the smallish bookshelf invisible !!

Class AB PP UL100 watts easily, Class A it looks like 45w to 48w will be the max but the trannies would be quite huge so it wont fit the target size of 12 x 9.

Hi bass_nut, I'm also thinking of that kind of setup using big radio transmitting DHTs, however due to space constraint and the burden of bringing those heavy weights overseas, that restricts me.  Hopefully, I could have a similar setup but using 845's in parallel SE like the Audio Note GakuOn (instead of 211) zero feedback mono triode power amplifiers.

The first time I heard a 211 monoblocks was in 2005, the Jolida Envoy.  Nice amp but I prefered the warm presentation of AMX-Kinetic built amplifiers (no bias here), I almost got a CJ overseas here but I find it HiFi sounding, the same as with the Jolida and Cayin-Spark Audio.  I am iliterate in electronics, can't even read an schematic diagram, long forgoten the Ohms Law but I guessed I know how to listen...I remember my old friend in Tampa, he has this line "Hey Dude...It's Music...Not Hifi" ...Anyhow, congrats again for having those awesome-looking Three-Element Firebottle power house, regards :)

indeed, its the music which should be rendered as faithful as possible by audio gears, as preferred by the listener (music enthusiast)  ;)

kuya Andrew knows we like the performance of Mullard el34, 6L6, 211, 12AT7, 12ax7, Hitachi 6SN7 and Russian 6n1P.. no musical note should be recessed nor over-emphasized... he is aware we like flexible and capable audio gears that will satisfy our SQ preference.

our recent visits to kuya Andrew's shop was very fruitful and so encouraging, brother Signal2Noise. the Master shared to us detailed history (from the 1930s' to present days) of each tube we mentioned. electrons flowing through the innards of each tube and how these affect final SQ. he mention specific dates, names and companies responsible regarding the development of each tube (and their variants) and the techniques used. it was like traveling back in time. hence, we now appreciate more these relatively tiny electric bottles as applied to audio gears.

did i say he discussed in length the tiny parts of each tube and how these affect SQ ? through kuya Andrew we also learned the history of the two useful forms of electricity and how these evolved into what we knew them now.

each question we asked him he replied in an easy to understand manner. a lot we learned kaya nakaka-addict bisitahin ang Master.

Jolida Envoy mono amps pushed me to go big amps. tunog s/s amps na very muscular and revealing. hence, kuya Andrew started our 211 mono amps project his ways, from blank sheets of paper to actual working units. he explained to us in detail the difference of these beasts. mine has huge knob (gain adjustment) located at the right side of the faceplate.. a smallish analog meter to show status of the tubes performance.. and a few more features. i am so amazed and so satisfied but our kuya Andrew was not yet satisfied. he wants more spacious soundstage and thicker (more unfolding) mids.. he will do some more refinements on his work.

on same line, the Master is on to some new products. we are already excited to audition his upcoming new implementations.   ;)

http://app.audiogon.com/listings/hitachi-6sn7-gtb-
Quote from: ws_trader
These special 6SN7-GTB made by Hitachi in the 1960s, earned a permanent spot in my reference system after easily besting the "Holy Grail" of 6SN7 & variants, the Tung-Sol 6SN7 GT, Black glass, black plates, made in the 1940s! (it wasn't close; If it were a fight the ref would have stopped it)!
Note: the 1970's gray plates offer 90% or more of the black plates performance at a very attractive price. They beat everything else out there except for, their black plated cousins. You need very good - excellent hearing to tell the difference. Only, roughly half of the audiophiles could detect a difference in straight A / B comparisons One black plate pair left $250

Hi AMX, what is the smallest dimension you could come up with a KT120 in Class A PP (45-48wpc)?  Thank you :)

Hi, the transformers for KT120 PP class A will be quite large so will be the Output transformers. I am sure you are aware that in Class A amps the tubes are in conduction  continuously and the bias current to attain 45 watts never goes into cut-off, unlike Class AB operation mode. In other words the current is quite high. Sorry for the techno-speak. I estimate about 16" x 10" more or less to accommodate the wide diameter of the tubes also and have some clearance between them for proper natural cooling.Tube complements may take take a 6Cg7 for inverter driver and a 12AX7 for input voltage amplifier.

Thank you bro bass_nutt, yes indeed it was a perfect match.  Unfortunately bihira ko mapakinggan coz most of the time andito ako overseas.  Pero may mini setup ako dito, humble one yet can rival those stuff of similar range or higher from Cayin-Spark Audio, Audio Space, Ming-Da, Xindak or even Jolida.  This mini-amp is  courtesy by the tube guru himself...Andrew Sevilla.  I have a friend who bought a Cayin A88T and ng marinig niya itong AMX mini-amp ko ay nagulo ang mundo niya hehehe, gusto niyang ibenta iyong Cayin and plans to get the AMX Overture instead. 

Even iyong prominent tube master din dito sa Singapore, known as Mr. Lim, he personally heard this AMX mini-amp and was impressed, we had a session last 2010 iyong sinasabi kong "listening in 1st 3 watts", nakita ko sa mukha niya iyong sorpresa niya lalo ng marinig niya si Rebecca Pidgeon, Jheena Lodwick at iyong classical strings ng kababayan niyang sina Wong Mai Ming at Lo Yang.  Regards  :)

Kuha lang sa IPhone ito but very nice & warm sounding cute mini-amp.

brother Sol,

indeed, AMX tube(s) and s/s audio products deliver satisfying SQ as referenced through highly regarded associated audio gears.

on the same line, i recently heard brother Voltz' smallish AMX tube preamp circa 2004.. single tube driven.. it was one of the 1st iteration of his journey to AMX tube world ...nalaglag ang pantalon ko sa ganda ng SQ !! !!!  8)

Correct Bro bass_nut, iba ang SQ ng AMX, sabi ko nga I've listened to different tube amplifiers since I was in Riyadh, Dubai, HK & SG, but nothing comes close sa warm presentation ng AMX Tube Audio...ika nga with Uncanny Realism.  BTW, another Iphone Video of my AMX mini-amp (very warm, liquid and airy sq, the sweet tone of JJ 6L6GC and NOS GE 6BL8-ECF80 England)....You may want to check it out.  Regards  :)

yes indeed, we have to congratulate the engineer (amx) for this great work of art! 

i'm now testing my upgraded 6sn7 preamp with the melody amp [whose bypass switch was repaired
by sir andrew (amx)]. good thing he was able to download the schematics of the australian-designed tube amp.

my customized andrew sevilla preamp was supposed to be the first amx  of it's kind at that time ..(the design was the result of a series of talk and emails.)
 ......and isn't what you call a purist approach.
to start with, it has tone controls (bass and treble),balance,loudness switch, tone defeat , subwoofer gain control plus remote volume/input selector  control)
tube complements of this preamp consist of 2 hitachi 6sn7  and 1 hitachi 6sl7( all of which i bought @ P500 per pc  in 2006) nowadays, i believe it's more than $100 a pc.
Separate tube (nos hitachi 5y3 or nos phillips) rectified power supply was the last upgrade/modification made.
At the time it was made, it was supposed to be paired with a big tube amp using a pair of 211 tubes per monobock (150wpc) , the objective of which is to have  lots of headroom in driving dyns.. .I already made the downpayment for the amp then but funds wer returned six months later due to some  supply problem...[project then was  scheduled for another time)..  so bitin
I paired it then with my existing 40wpc amp wc is a melody. .
Maybe, it's what you called luck or fate,  the amp came into possession years later with the help [or courtesy ) of a friend... A series of repairs,modifications, and some upgrades went through  it.  Of course,  it was made by the same  company who built it, AMX. 
Customized approach (as compared to js buying ready-made items on display rack) is not  that inexpensive, if that's what one thinks, and isn't what you call a "walk in the park" journey ....if it's a first of it's kind -say nothing like it made before in the lineup, at makulit ka sa feature , then -let the deigner do his job  , what this means also --is that you must be willing to have a lot of patience, like being a part of what i call "R&D" kuno,  you also mst do some google research and be willing to make  some simple tweaks and experiments.   Good thing the engineer has the superb skills and paience to do the task required . He even has all the measuring equipment  to test his design and creation. Just be prepared though to be bombarded with tech jargon and graphs....be ready with google...haha
But in the end, you just hv to close your eyes and listen to the high-end sound to enjoy!
cheers! :D

Not really meron kasi speaker na power hungry lower wattage is a okay as long na busog na speaker mo to sing well. For me more headroom is assurance na when ever na magkameron ka hard to drive speaker hindi ka na magpapalit ng amp IMO.

Sir pwede bang gamitin ang tube power amplifier for HT duties?
Title: Re: AMX Tube Products
Post by: Gino on Aug 15, 2013 at 09:42 AM
Yes. In the old days tube amps were powering real movie theaters using large high sensitivity speakers. I watch movies with stereo audio using my 2a3 tube amp. My sound is holographic and very real. it depends on my media quality.

While multiple channel HT is possible it will be very expensive because you will be needing many amps for the various speaker sets. These amps will be custom jobs so they will have a linear collective response for correct sound integration.Doable but requires lots of planning and funding.

If you will use cheap design tube amps then might as well go solid state.

The centerpiece of my 2-channel set-up: custom AMX Acoustica Tube PreAmp with custom matte black paint and red trim.  5 line level inputs, volume, bass & treble controls, loudness switch and a line level output for connection to an all-tube headphone amp.  The headphone amp is also with AMX for a check-up, new chassis, re-layout of electronics and a custom purple paint job. 

Sir Andrew even included a subwoofer out for future expansion.  I have this hooked up to my TT, DVD/CD player and my iPod.  This bad boy sounds AWESOME  - smooth highs & mids and tight bass plus a wide soundstage that makes vocals and instruments very distinct.  Maiden, Slayer, Rush, the Lizz and the Stones never sounded so damn good!

I compared my Sonic Frontiers power 1 stereo tube amp(6550-C's) with that of the AMX KT-88 monoblocks built for me by Mr. Sevilla. Different sound character but parehong maganda! We tend to be brand conscious  and be awed by tube amps made abroad but Mr. Sevilla, being an MIT grad knows his stuff and his creations can go toe to toe with the imported ones! :)

Enough with colonial mentality! ;)

i have an amx minima, which 8 and 6 ohms are selectable. paired this with an old akai speakers na 8 ohms.. naturally i selected 8 ohms kay amx, very happy naman ako sa tunog niya.

apologies for a very noob question.. ano effect if i select 6 ohms sa amx with an 8 ohms speaker? answers on the net are just to techie for me to understand.. salamat pdvd!

@roygee, try mo, hindi naman masisira yan kung i set for for 6 ohms,  speaker impedance are not constant with frequency, it can even drop to 3 ohms at some frequency, just like some BNW models or other so called hard to drive speakers,

in 1994, my repair shop in Pasig was also broken into, the thieves carted away an Akai open reel deck, a TT, two Leach super amps, a Sansui cassete deck, some hand tools and a multitester, hindi pinatulan yung mga tv's na gawa na....

funny thing was that the thief advertised my amp in the "buy and sell" magazine, the amp had the name "TECSON" on the from facia, one had VU meters and the other was just anodized black....he passed these amps as US made...

i was even able to talk with the thief over the phone and i asked for an audition, he was somewhere in Mandaluyong, near Pasig river....

so i asked assistance from the Pasig police and we went to Mandalyung for a look see....along the way, the policemen saw some jerks gambling along the roadside and accosted them and confiscated the money's..

that might have tipped off the culprit, wala na kaming inabutan, a caretaker allowed us into the house but they must have carted the stolen amps away to safety....it looked like the theif had a band....

sorry for ranting, but i thought i needed to share this incident from which i never recovered and had to look for an overseas job as an OFW....in a way, nakabuti rin, i was able to see my kids thru college and they are now earning their own money...

me karma yan, babalikan sila in another way, in another time......

Hi! Can someone help me identify the specs of these AMX tube amps?

I tried mag PM kay sir andrew and sa kinetic audio fb page but no reply baka busy din.

Hinanap ko rin sa gallery nila wala naman ako mahanap na exact match at since wala

ako masyado alam sa tubes na nosebleed ako pag binabasa ko yung specs  ;D


For this amp all I know is that it has 4 x EL84 tubes and 2 x 6BL8 tubes.

May nakalagay din na badge along the tubes nakalagay Super Ultralinear.

But I'm not sure if this is push pull or single ended o triode etc since wala akong alam sa

mga ganun talaga..  Also ilang watts kaya ito per ch?

It is the simplest form of amplification and has been in use since the beginning of audio and radio broadcasting in the 1930's Nothing new really.Power consumption is about 60 watts, continuous on your 220 volt outlet.

It uses 2pcs 300B and 2pcs ECC99 and 2 more peanuts tube which my weary eyes can't read anymore dahil medyo burado na at malabo na ang markings. Anong year model po kaya ito?

^ looks like standard size but the face is full front until the height of the KT-150 to avoid the tubes from glowing at eye level. With a full front facing, the glow of the tubes will reflect upwards.

A week ago, I was able to see and hear sir Andrew's latest work:

Tube preamp (12atu x 2, 12au7 x 2), with bass, midrange, and treble controls

A pair of monoblock amplifiers. If I remember the specs, he used a pair of 6L6 tubes and a 5751 tube per monoblock, 25 watts per channel.

Souce used was a pioneer dvd player, speakers were a pair of Infinity bookshelf speakers (if my memory serves me correctly).

Nagustuhan ko ang sound quality ng nagawa nya na amplifiers :D

Andrew makes a phono stage with Bass, Treble, and gain control.
The OP amp is also user replaceable to suit your taste.
A few of us here in PDVD are using the phono pre-amp and are satisfied with the product.
Hope this helps.

This little tube amplifier amazes me. It has enough low frequency extension and power to drive a vintage Infinity RS8001 to surprising levels in my living room. More than enough and saves me on electric power consumption.

AMX Aria a class A Single ended EL84 amplifier. Great for loudspeakers and also headphones for private listening. You can connect your I-pod or other devices like PC or Laptops, Cd DVD and enjoy your music with this sweet sounding amplifier. This little amplifier delivers at least 4 to 5 watts per channel. Enough music volume for your study, bedroom or studio.

Congrats sir, care to share the specs & your initial impressions. Thanks.


The VT-60 is a sweet-sounding amp with its EL34 tubes. Its strength is vocal clarity and the midrange is more defined. There is a need to up the bass a bit to balance out the whole spectrum, so I'm not running this flat. Overall very satisfied with this amp.

Specs: 30 wpc into 8 ohms
           FR 30hz to 20kHz
           Push-pull Class A/B

extremely happy with my set-up; AMX tube pre, and a 70s era Pioneer power amp.  i listen to mainly classic rock and metal from FLAC files and vinyl.  the preamp is a custom build, 5 inputs, subwoofer out, tone controls and 2 pairs of outputs.  one pair for the power amp and the second pair for my headphone amp.

the tube/ss combination gives me sound signature that has both warmth and power.
