Question about the new production amps to older ones...

[jasonP]

How many of you guy's amps are running around 560v on the plates?

I wonder if the production units are going to be running this high?

 

[dawnofdreamx97]

Mine is a little higher actually --- it might because i have high voltage coming in from the poll in my neighborhood though . . .

 

[Digital Jams]

These are coming with SED winged right?

 

[steve_k]

They will have to. Nothing else will handle that onslaught, for very long.

JJ EL34 can handle the plate volts but in my opinion sound like dog ass in the ccv...

on paper they will nick, as the screen voltages are about the same - and probably a good tester can cull out a quad of JJ's that will work, for a little while. we've all had our failure stories with JJ's, and they do some amps justice. i just don't think they make them like they used to, for the lack of a better saying

dog ass......

Mark is suppossed to pick the tubes. Brad posted that whatever Mark wants is what they will ship with. If JJs suck in the CCV I'm sure he will not choose them or I will have to either question his ear for tone or how much say he really had.

BTW - I nuked my listing in the Classifieds. I made some moves and I'm good to go for the CCV!

Anyone tried the Ruby EL34BHT

from the website

We have had a great response to our new RUBY EL34BHT tube. Many engineers have asked about what kind of power can be expected from the EL34BHT. In our tests, we used 600 V on the plates, 540 V on G2 and a bias setting of –54V. The tubes idled at 25ma each. The power output from a pair of EL34BHT tubes using these voltages was 70 watts at clipping.

I have tried them in quite a few amps and made an effort to like the tube. In the end, I just paid up for the SED's. They are pretty much a Winged C filament in a bigger bottle. The tubes do not have the big bottom end or silky top end of the SED Winged C though. With the bigger glass comes more chime and more headroom, neither of which is I wanted. I guess if that is what you are after though. Ruby has a new tube, the EL34BG that just came out. Same filament, smaller bottle and pretty much the same electronic characteristics as the BHT and similar to the SED Winged C. If the Cameron guys are trying to save a little on tubes, this is probably their best bet as Mark always favored the SED.

I'm going to try some, looking for a good less expensive alternative.

I think I am going back to Groove Tubes. Fuck it....

WOW!! Thats a bold move
