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.

sagot tayo ng sagot dito wala naman tayong AMX ;D

aha! ano ito? kaya pala nabenta ang BF mo ha... ;)

Sir JulsP and superman,

Thanks again for your advise. Siguro nga I have to talk to Mr. Andrew directly.

Sir JulsP, I'm using a NAD T752 its about 80 watts all channel driven and 100 watts for stereo only.

Thanks and God bless...

hi sirs,
i'm planning to acquire sana a tube pre-amp for my system.  when i passed by phasetron i saw some cd buffers and of course a couple of AMX amps. i'm using surplus CD players(sony 333es and Technics) and surplus amps (sony 333esx and Sansui 907x) from pier, speakers are b&W 303 and a-audio narra bookshelves. if i upgrade to an amx integrated amp, do i still need a tube pre-amp? or if i opted for the pre-amp will the cd buffer be a good addition?

thanks and god bless

iceman,

sabi nga nila EL34 PP ang maganda daw sa rock. kilala mo rin pala yung nagpagaya ng amp na kagaya nung isang member dito  ;D ;D. balita ko rock/new wave daw music mo, ano bang magandang tubes ang bagay sa music na to?


300B ;D ;D ;D

depende sa speakers mo pre ;) pero naka 8.3 ka na di ba? i will stick with EL34 na lang, like I said madali hanapin tubes tsaka relatively cheap yung magandang brands. pag medyo nag exotic tubes ka pa kasi pahirapan pa magpalit... dami pa namang design na ok using EL34

sa panahon ngayon dapat practical ka ;)

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.

some of the guys here uses tube preamp and an int. tube amp, sayang naman yung preamp section ng int. tube amp kung gagamit pa ng preamp  ???

just my -2 cents   ;D

jcob,

i dont want you to get the impression that SET amp cant do ROCK. with the right speakers, SET amp can!

let me warn you, Pushpull or otherwise, di maganda sa rock pag di dynamic ang amp.

Thanks punk kid. siguro nga ito ang kailangang kong tube..I'll try this amp..tingnan ko kung ganun pa rin ang observation ko..

Sir JulsP, it's ok kahit na wala kayong AMX. alam ko naman na nakaka parinig rin kayo ng AMX. besides i just need inputs and suggestions from tube users. in the end it will still be me who would decide which suites my taste...

to all,  thanks for your very informative views and comments...... kahit wala kayong AMX amp <====joke lang po.

EL84 is different from EL34, just audition the different amps of AMX and decide what your ear wants.

happy auditioning!

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. :)
Tube amps implemented properly can rock  >:D

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

Kilala ko ito ah.... hehehhhe Amx EL34 push pull 25 watts.. it can drive Wharf 8.3 with GUSTO!!! parang party level volume >:D >:D tried and tested with rock & heavy metal

O jcob eto na ang hinahanap mong sagot  >:D

bro, pinaka mura nga ang EL34 tubes at madaling hanapin pero etong klaseng tube naman na toh ang pinakamadaling maupos!! (parang sigarilyo ...  madaling umabo ang filament) he he he!! kung gusto mong maging praktikal kahit mas mahal nang konti... humanap ka ng iba... he he he!!  ;D ;D ;D

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.

thanks.

Hi Guys, dito nako. You can throw your nagging questions about AMX amps and tubes in general. I will try to answer them as accurate and objective as I can.

Basa ko madali daw pundi and El34. Di naman mga pre. I used a quad set for 5 years ok pa, it still works,kaya lang wala ng detail. Pero tunog pa! 8)

thanks a lot Sir  ;)
