guapo ng setup mo lalo sir!

btw, what are the pros and cons of using DC heater over AC? my amp is DC-fed also.

...can fully attest to this...isa ako sa mga saksi kagabi...yan ang tono "integrated amp", hehehehe!...vince, congrats and enjoy...as for me, pag nagpunta ko sa davao tsaka ko dadalhin for the DC heater upgrade para sakto pagbalik ko nasa akin na ulit...

guys, the bass has incredibly improved versus the 1st version...but the 1st version nga OK na eh...

sir mickey, arnoldc and VD, congrats again for this marvelous tweak!

iceman90a · « **Reply #1043 on:** Jun 30, 2004 at 11:52 AM »

Vrion - cost of parts daw is around P200 (from Mickey) labor cost with their technician is P1,000, but if you know someone who can do it - they can allow that, pls pm vintage dog for details

Julsp168 - sa bahay ni VD yan kagabi, kanya yung rack

Tuff - excerpt from WS by joe3rp, nabasa ko na lang after the mod

Quote from: joe3rp

In my early days of audio/electronics (26 years+) I thought that DC coupling only equated to better low frequency response…but I am now learning in the Audio Forums and readings…it has an effect on the total sound of the amp. The RC coupling results in a “signature sound” which is probably due to the capacitor residual voltage, linearity or symmetry in voltage charge/discharge speed and initial charge requirement. These capacitor signatures are the result of the material (conductor, insulation and damping medium) and construction. Note that some amp designers like this “capacitor signature” tuning capability. But with DC…it is just a bunch of wires (maybe some coupling resistors)...But wires (resistors) also have their own “signature” sound…just listen to Hyperion’s KONDO cabling!!!! Somewhat like …super conductors! (That is a different story altogether!!! Just go to Darth Hansen Den and listen!).

iceman, the comments of joe3rp has *nothing* to do with DC filament mod. he was talking about direct coupled (DC) and capacitor coupled (which he called RC, in reality it is just capacitor coupling). this is about how the stages are coupled to each other, i.e., driver to power tube section.

DC filament heating and AC filament heating is an altogether a different story.

vintage_dog · « **Reply #1045 on:** Jun 30, 2004 at 12:42 PM »

tono preamp faceplate is p500
tono 300b DC heaters mod - p1200 (labor and parts)

Superman · « **Reply #1046 on:** Jun 30, 2004 at 12:45 PM »

sir VD...i'll be lining up for the DC heater modification...but no hurry...can i send it directly to sir ed??? thanks!

vintage_dog · « **Reply #1047 on:** Jun 30, 2004 at 12:51 PM »

thanks to all PinoyDVD folks who came to the Audio Fair last Sunday.

Hope to see you all again in the next one...
