princeton non `verb , mods ??`s
I asked a few questions on this amp awhile back.
after adding a bias pot . putting new tubes in . jan phillips 6v6`s , EI ecc83 PI , RCA 12ax7a first tube I started with a 5v4 recto , this all sounded good . I recently put a nos 5ar4 in , tighter bass , plate voltage stays a little higher. I biased it to 10.5 w , plate dissepation , sounded best with the 5v4 ,410v@ 26ma with the 5ar4 , 420v@ 25ma , 10.5 w I was trying to kept the plate voltage up and this seemed to be the break even point , I f I biased it hotter the plate voltege dropped off quickly . Now the questions Is the small power transformer , loading down , so I can`t keep the plate voltage up and run the tubes hotter? is it caps? the 10.5 watts dissipation was the beak point . the stokes mod , raising the plate voltage on the PI what differance in sound is this going to make? more headroom ?tighter low end?more output ? 6v6gt`s vs. 6v6g , sound different? brimar 6v6s , oppinions? thanks racehorse |
