Yaqin MC-100B tube amp trials "Fleetwood Mac quick demo" w/ negative feedback mod

I have a few requests to upload some better quality demos of my hotrodded tube amplifier. I did a few mods to it from spice simulation and finalized the negative feedback mod. The tubes are Philips 12AT7, JAN 6SN7WGT and JJ KT-88. I have the amp on triode mode. There is less bass on this mode but I feel the sound is superior. The speakers are Paradigm S2 Reference Signature.

This may sound stupid, but why do you have a huge [near] square tv? :s

@xdeadstarpsyclonx these were the first projection tvs of thier kind... i guess i am an old hand now.

Very sweet, thanks for sharing. That's my amp too :-)

lol you got a thumbs down for this comment... Are you using stock tubes? Where do you set your bias current for the Kt-88's? I set mine @47ma but I have heard you can go up to 60 with decreased tube life... some have reported that the bass tightens up at higher bias current... but I have not tested this yet.

Definitely needs a better source than a DivX file... Just throwin' it out there.

@teflondon91 Looking to get the same Yaqin integrated to listen to my Paradigm Studio 10's. What are your thoughts? Is this a fairly quiet tube amp? Thanks, Brian

[MrLaddog]

Love the speakers! I am trying to decided between the Studio Reference 10's or Totem Rainmakers....

[xdeadstarpsyclonx]

@teflondon91 Ohh, sorry, I've just never seen one before :]

i am on youtube under Hobbiesareus Jmlabspeakers check it out tell me what you think. I have been listening to your set up.i really like your system.I am in the process of getting one of these amps.Nice sound and good music choice. respond back on mine and let me know what you think.

[teflondon91]

thanks for watching... the specs on av equipment has become half marketing blah blah... even proper thd ratings should specify a level and frequency or range of frquencies tested on to be considered accurate. If the have the schematic , the time and someone who knows spice simulation software you can tune these amps up quite well.

Sounds like a good match. Of course in the long run its up to your ears and not the specs huh? I am about to purchase a Yaqin MS-12b preamp after reading a lot of good reviews. Good luck and . Roll those tubes!
