my friend bought an integrated single ended tube amp there for 12k, ok naman so far, he's been playing it for 4 hrs straight a day at di pa naman nasisira (its just a 10 watter though). Sound quality is good for the price but haven't heard the ones they offer 20k (50 watts x 2 daw), just make sure your speakers are quite efficient and as much as possible test it with them and see if it mates well. his speakers are 95 dB btw

Hello tatalope,

Welcome!

Since your new here at PinoyDVD, I guess you are still not familiar with Hyperaudio. He is the Tube God. Sales, repairs, modifications, upgrading and even home made tube amplifiers is his business.

Nobody knows tubes better than this guy.

Send him an e-mail or P.M.

levi · « **Reply #5 on:** May 16, 2003 at 09:52 PM »

I think you are refering to Phasetron. I agree with M_Shoe, you havent seen tubes till you see Hyperaudio.

tatalope · « **Reply #6 on:** May 17, 2003 at 09:40 AM »

yes phasetron nga un levi...mahal b ang beginner's tube amps kay hyperaudio? actually i have no idea when it come to the differences bet. tubes & solid states....since i'm into jazz vinyl records sabi nila oks n oks daw ang tube amps..persently i'm using a panasonic technics reciever in my turntable, un kahoy p at namana ko lng un s lolo ko medyo nabubulok n nga un kahoy eh hehe...

Try to visit Hyperaudio's shop and he can explain to you the difference between tube and SS. He has several gears that would fit your budget and preferences. I suggest you research and auditon further before buying. It took me 6 months before buying an Integrated Amp because I want to know first what I am buying.You can call Hyperaudio (Rene) thru 8325710.

M_Shoe_Maker · « **Reply #8 on:** May 17, 2003 at 05:42 PM »

hey tatalope,

Good to hear you are also into LPs!

You definitely have to visit the one and only Tube God. He can tell you, and most importantly, let you hear why Analog (LPs) and Tubes is a match made in heaven.

Another place to look is http://www.wiredstate.com/pinoydiophiles . There is a Buy & Sell section there.

Last I checked, there was a sub PhP15k Dynaco stereo integrated amp from Toobs. I've a similay model at Hyperaudio's place and they'd be sure to kick butt!

Gino · « **Reply #11 on:** Jun 22, 2003 at 07:39 PM »

I've been searching the threads but can't find any on the matter. I heard about Phasetron, Park Square I selling local tube amps P15k below.

Any thoughts? Any current users of this amp? I only have space for bookshelf speakers.

Last time I asked, they didn't have it in stock. May available pa kaya?

M_Shoe_Maker · « **Reply #12 on:** Jun 22, 2003 at 08:30 PM »

When you go to Phasetron, look for Andrew Sevilla. He is the owner and the designer/maker of those tube amps.

Have you tried inquiring/visiting Hyperaudio. He too sells tube amps.

levi · « **Reply #13 on:** Jun 22, 2003 at 10:12 PM »

I also suggest you visit Hyperaudio.

Gino · « **Reply #14 on:** Jun 22, 2003 at 10:16 PM »

I got in touch with him but the lowest he offers is P22k. Beyond what I had in mind.

levi · « **Reply #15 on:** Jun 22, 2003 at 10:29 PM »

It may be more expensive but its worth it. Try to visit him and audition some of his for sale items. How about the tube amps of Corrsty? I think its available at Architectural Audio.

Audioboy · « **Reply #16 on:** Jun 23, 2003 at 01:24 PM »

whey you say "tube amps of Corrsty", are you referring to the TS Audio 34.1 model? locally made pala yon?

levi · « **Reply #17 on:** Jun 23, 2003 at 03:55 PM »

Yup TS Audio, but I think its not locally made.

Audioboy · « **Reply #18 on:** Jun 23, 2003 at 06:51 PM »

levi,

i was able to see one kanina. Made in thailand pala.

levi · « **Reply #19 on:** Jun 23, 2003 at 06:55 PM »

Can you give us your review. Thanks

audiobyte · « **Reply #20 on:** Jun 23, 2003 at 11:29 PM »

:)Have positive experience with Phasetron tube products. I once had their tube preamp that sounded almost as good as my Audio Research LS-7. I've used it for more than five(5) years (until I regretfully sold it to someone) and during this period it neither broke down nor needed tube replacement.

Currently, my reference is a Phasetron single-ended integrated amp based on EL34(super triode-connected) with 5U4GB rectifier and 12AX7A driver. This one is custom-made by Andrew Sevilla to my parts specs and was assembled in his FTI plant that mainly manufactures professional audio equipment for the export market!

Yes, there are many locally assembled tube amps but I prefer those from Phasetron because aside from their good sound, their fit and finish are exemplary - making others look like high school electronics project. And of course the price - it's the most reasonable of all!

levi · « **Reply #21 on:** Jun 23, 2003 at 11:40 PM »

What is the price range of the integrated tube amp from phasetron? I have seen some of his products but I never asked how much. Thanks

Garp · « **Reply #22 on:** Jun 24, 2003 at 08:09 AM »

Has anyone tried the tube amps labeled Acoustic Fidelity being sold by Pacific Electronics at raon and Robinson's Manila? I'm not sure if they're locally made. They have el34 and kt88 amps going for around 25K and a mono kt88 for 15K. I haven't listened to them but I like the way they look with really nice potted transformers and brushed aluminum face plate.

Superman · « **Reply #23 on:** Jun 24, 2003 at 08:21 AM »

hi garp!

what particular store in raon and in robinson's manila???

superman

Garp · « **Reply #24 on:** Jun 24, 2003 at 08:27 AM »

Hi Superman,

The store is Pacific Electronics, Level 3 near Handyman. In Raon address is (i have their card this is not a plug!) 655-657 Gonzalo Puyat St. Quiapo Manila. Tel. 536-4035 (robinson's) 733-1734; 733-1738 (raon). If possible once you've auditioned them please post your findings. Thanks.

Garp · « **Reply #25 on:** Jun 24, 2003 at 08:31 AM »

BTW, for those tube amps I remember not seeing a tube rectifier so baka solid state rectification lang.

ramble_on · « **Reply #26 on:** Jun 24, 2003 at 11:31 AM »

called up pacific electronics at raon to inquire about prices/models. apparently, the amps are from china but are locally assembled.

no integrateds. preamp costs 11k, push-pull power amp (@ 40 w) costs 25.5 and a set amp costs (@ 8 w) costs 35.5.

Gino · « **Reply #27 on:** Jun 24, 2003 at 01:10 PM »

Kaya ba ng 8w Phasetron tube amp ang Wharf 8.1?

I have a small room and neighbors to annoy anyway.

ramble_on · « **Reply #28 on:** Jun 24, 2003 at 01:23 PM »

from what i've been reading, tube amps are best matched with higher sensitivity speakers. i have a pair of wharfedale 3's with 86db so that makes us seatmates on the same boat (and the same number of neighbors to annoy

john5479 · « **Reply #29 on:** Jun 24, 2003 at 02:43 PM »

the tube amps being sold by pacific electronics uses chinese made tubes, planning to audition the mono kt88s soon and see how it goes.
