[analoguebuff]

Well, no bass, no presence, no dynamic range & 20% distortion, nice..............

how much power does a 6bm8 produce ussually im retubbing a stereo amp like that!

[btown2011]

good sound!

if this is what 4 watts of tube power sounds like imagine what 10 watts sounds like, my tube amp to my motorola hi fi record player has 10 watts but it's mono but i hope it bumps the bass and is loud.

AHH nothing sounds like 6bq5 single ended and the rest of the magic of the old console days a sound that cost thousands $ to reproduce in todays equipment you just got it by picking up the right stuff.

congrats. Ernest.

whoops sorry for double commenting but i got another question is that an mp3 player at 33 seconds to the right of the headphones and amp the white square thing?

[coondogtheman1234]

those big speakers each look like my vintage motorola hi fi record player from 1957

ISU as in Iowa State University? Those photos would be cool to see! I assume you didn't buy those at the campus surplus sale though, right?

Nice. 6BQ5's in SE with 6EU7 driver and 6CA4 rectifer. A friend of mine has that amp and it puts out a lot of bass.

University Cabinets (We think) built at ISU in 1958. A ISU physics professor course project Orig. jbl 3 way crossover + 8 crossover pionts for several music types all hand wound. Never had them open but the plans called for D130 Woofers JBL mid horns and JBL tweeters. Im sure you could run down to the corner in those days and just pick them up. He had photos old black and white of the build. Big and no corners to put them in.
