But I don’t think the amp by itself will. The amp has a built in Bluetooth receiver that will allow you to pair and play music from your iPad. I see that Wathen carries the EL84-WC but what did you replace the 6N3 tubes with? I bought this item as a valve/tube amp is on my bucket list and couldn't resist the price! But not room shaking. I just bought the amp so haven't listened to it as yet as was curious what I should be prepared for as an upgrade. The other (hybrid) models uses tubes only in the preamp stage. mine probably has paint blocking the path to ground somewhere besides just the screw threads and themselves). I currently have it powering Klipsch R-15M’s for my office and it works well. Sounds like you got a ground problem, or a problem with the tubes. Might need a DAC for the PC connection. This vacuum tube headphone amp includes preamp functionality, but Nobsound actually recommends a different product as a better alternative for a preamp in the NS-08E’s product description. Will the 10 Watts be enough? Is the 5670 an exact replacement for the 6N3's? My Amplifier doesn’t have a hum, so I assume the phono preamp itself is properly grounded. This amplifier has a built in phono preamp, so yes you plug the turntable directly into the phono input without the need for a separate preamp. Looks like it is running on +/- 12V and so the tube will be on 24V (plate at 12V) with 2 NE5532 in parallel on the output. Klipsch speakers are very efficient. If I made add, to establish credibility, I have owned too many to count stereo tube Hi-Fi amplifiers, as well as tube guitar amplifiers. It seems impossible without removing the cages which someone stated anchors the socket to the chassis at least on the hybrids. It has a phono imput and an auxiliary input. But if you’re only connecting your iPad via Bluetooth then you will not miss the digital input. 1. Set the input selector to "BT", then open the Bluetooth menu on your phone/computer. I'm totally sold on power conditioning as a result of this experiment. They use regular transistors like any other for output stage power. Common with some tube amps, my Monoprice does it also. And its listed as the Best Answer. I really can not say what the difference would be between a solid state amplifier and a tube amp. I use it solely for my record player. All features work well including the blue tooth. I have the exact same issue, also in the left channel. a good tube amp will not hum. Enough for listening level, but not much more. I have actually connected a relatively high end BT receiver (Audioengine B1) to the unit’s RCA aux jacks and the sound is way better - close to the level of CDs and vinyl. I am not 100% why that is. a good tube amp will not hum. The sound of this amp is euphoric because it is a true tube amp. Speakers were delayed, just received 2/6. its a little more analog an warm. It gets louder, but the sound quality does not change. I’m not an expert on home audio systems but I do own this amplifier and have a basic understanding of how it works. I found the built in pre-amp warm and satisfactory and sold my.precious phono preamp (pro-ject). The 10 watts of tube power is plenty for most music listening. © 2001-2021 Monoprice, Inc. All rights reserved. The INPUT of the Phono Preamp is rated at 47k-ohms. You don’t need anything else other than speakers plugged into the amp. But I think the line in is the quietest. How would I ground the TT signal with this system to prevent hum? You can get grip in between the bars of the cage. Absolutely. How loud is the hum? I've never really timed it, but if I had to guess - 3 to 5 seconds. Just need to be careful as you inserting new tube not to hit/press it against the cage. The manual says it will, and gives specific instructions for setup. So this is the only amp they sell that is a pure tube amplifier. I don't think there is a way to convert class A watts to class AB wattage, suffice to say I use this with an inefficient speakers and makes enough sound to fill a large bedroom at 1 o clock volume knob. Ok great, I was wondering if using a separate phono amp would improve the sound. I have ordered a tube upgrade kit and will see how it works with new tubes. I think you need a bigger amp. How long do you need to let this amp warm up before playing music? I'm using my phone microphone and this is so not working on well I figure out another way to get you an answer. Looking from the rear of the unit, it will be just to the left of the antenna. So what can this amp actually drive speaker wise, what would be its limits and what would be your recommendation? I got a matched quad of JJ EL 84s from Tube Depot ($50) and a set of 3 NOS GE 5670s from Antique Electronic Supply ($19) - so less shipping $60 but ~$70 total. Interesting. I think big floor speakers with 15 inch woofers is a reach.
