    12AX7's - Tube flash on power up at base only on old tubes, not new production. Why?

    I have a pair of Bogen labelled Mullard 6eu7s that flash brightly upon power up. It looks very cool and they sound fantastic. I don't worry about it.

    What's British in your system?

    Musical Fidelity A3CD cd player in the main stereo system, Kef subwoofer in the home theater and assorted Mullard tubes. The cd player has sounded great and worked like a champ since new, the subwoofer had to be repaired after a mouse crawled into one of the ports and electrocuted himself...

    Magnavox 9302 Right Channel drops out.

    Listening to some Shostakovich on 180 gram Living Stereo vinyl right now. This little amp is amazing, considering the fact that it came out of a cheap, 50+ year old console. This one was restored and modded by fellow Aker, Vaughn. Great stuff. That's why I want to hold onto it.

    Magnavox 9302 Right Channel drops out.

    Yes, I wiggled one of the 6eu7s last night and it dropped in and out and made other rude noises. The other was much tighter. I'm thinking new sockets are in order. I've built my own kits before. (Bottlehead). So, I am handy with a soldering iron. Might just give that a go with some good, high...

    Magnavox 9302 Right Channel drops out.

    I've been thinking about this. It would make sense that a socket might get screwy after enough heat soaks in. Perhaps they have just loosened up? The do appear to be the original sockets, after all.

    Magnavox 9302 Right Channel drops out.

    I've tried swapping the 6eu7s around. Haven't noticed any difference yet, It's still trucking along with both channels. So, if it drops out again, I'll try the 6bq5s. Currently, I'm running old Mullards in the 6eu7 positions and repro-Gold Lions (Russian) in the 6bq5 positions. I have several...

    Magnavox 9302 Right Channel drops out.

    Hey guys, I have a sweet little 9302 that works perfectly and sounds amazing for about two hours and then the right channel disappears on me. There is no noise, no popping, hissing or static type noise, it just goes quiet. Not a tube amp expert by any means. I was just wondering what this could...

    console stereo tube amps

    I have a beautiful 9300 series Magnavox modded by a fellow AKer and wrapped in a custom case built by me. I'm listening to the Beatles "Let it Be" on that jewel as I type. IMG_00121 by dread31 posted Jul 30, 2015 at 11:03 PM

    Stargazers!

    Who here does any stargazing? I have been at it, of and on, for many years. After an eight year hiatus I decided to pull the 'scope* out and take a gander at the Venus/Jupiter conjunction, eyeballing Orions belt and all it has to offer as well. I was bitten again. Now, I am considering doing...

    Who here owns a 6900?

    Okay, who else here owns or has owned an MA6900? I love mine, meter issues notwithstanding. Besides the used 2120 I had about 20 years ago, this is the only McGear I've ever owned.

    MA6900 Owners.................

    Who here owns a 6900 integrated? I bought mine new in 2006 and still enjoy it, but it has not been without issues. Has anyone had else problems with the meters and the meter lamps? Within months of the original purchase I had lamps burning out and intermittent function of the meters. So, I...
