    Replace Sony Laserhead

    I have a JAS Musik 1.2 CDP that has A LOT of trouble reading cds. It skips frequently when playing any cd that isn't absolutely perfect, and even then it skips. I've been in touch with JAS and they suggested replacing the laserhead. It uses a Sony KSS-213Q laserhead, which I can get on eBay. I...

    Help Identifying Make of Tubes

    I have some tubes that I pulled from a Tektronix Oscilloscope. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the manufacturer. Two are 6922 and two are 6DJ8. Here are some pictures, and I'm happy to take more: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6mmRbAmjuADs5HYE7

    My first Tube Amp or Pass Labs F5

    If you can find a PCB for it, I'd recommend looking into the Get Set Go SET amp. Your speakers may not be optimal for the amp, but I think you'll be fine unless you play your music really loud. I built one, and it's a great first tube amp to build. I don't see why you would need a tube pre...

    Haltron 6b4g tubes

    Yeah, they do rebrand them. The seller thinks they might be RCA. I didn't know if any tube gurus here might be able to identify them somehow. It was kind of a long shot.

    Haltron 6b4g tubes

    I'm seeking some backup 6b4g tubes for my Get Set Go amp. It was designed for Sovtek tubes, but it's my understanding that any will work. I found some Haltron branded 6b4g tubes...and wondered if anyone recognized the manufacturer.

    Looking to get into SET amps—recommendations?

    The Get Set Go pcb or the Darling Clementine pcb (not really kits, but you get the board and the set of instructions) are really nice sounding amps. I built a G*S*G and love it

    Mixing preamp tubes

    This article would give you a short explanation for the schematic: https://hometheaterhifi.com/volume_8_1/antique-sound-lab-15dt-tube-amp-1-2001.html But, in short, the 12ax7 tubes are dual triodes. Each tube has two stages. The top half of your schematic is one channel, the bottom half is the...

    Mixing preamp tubes

    My hunch is that if you use a different brand of tube one channel would have a slightly different sound than the other. What is the make/model? Or can you post the schematic? Others here are probably better suited to help, but I'll take a glance at it.

    Mixing preamp tubes

    I could be mistaken, but it might be helpful to know is the design of the amp. I have a tubed phono pre with 3 tubes (1x 12au7 and 2x 12ax7). The tubes run in different stages (V1, V2, and V3) and the L/R channel goes through each tube. As such, it made perfect sense for me to mix and match...

    Amp dead! Need suggestions for replacement!!!

    I have the same phono setup you use. Nice! For a long time I enjoyed one of the magnavox console pulls. I'm currently listening to a get set go amp I built.
