hungrych Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Wow, that's so ghetto, with the batteries and everything. Awesome! Do you have a case yet? Quote
kevin gilmore Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Those aren't batteries! This kind of stuff reminds me of stuff i used to do 40 years ago. Quote
hungrych Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Those aren't batteries! This kind of stuff reminds me of stuff i used to do 40 years ago. Oh jeez are those caps? o.O Quote
aerius Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Oh jeez are those caps? o.O Yup, industrial motor run capacitors. Metallized polypropylene in oil, the ones on the left are 75uF each and there's about 240V on them, the ones on the right are 50uF, used as cathode bypass caps. Quote
philodox Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Well, since we're sharing... want to see some pics of my amp that is still not working? I'm going to be dismantling it soon after trying a couple other tweaks on it and preparing for the bamaslama build. As you can see, my caps are of the same type as aerius', though possibly a different brand. Quote
ayt999 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 that looks very pretty philodox. who cares if it doesn't work. Quote
PsychoZX Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Is that the bottom half of a soda bottle covering the transformer? Quote

Eddie Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Late to the party, but I would like to respond to statement about the 6C33C-B eating tube sockets. That depends on hard you are slamming the tubes, and how the socket is mounted. In the case of the Zana Deux the 6C33C-B is operated at only 8 watts of plate, and the production amp will have the socket mounted to an aluminum top plate. The original Xana was built this way and have been in constant service for over 8 years without any socket failure. The key to the Zana Deux uis the low source out, 12 ohms, and ability to couple all those power supply joules directly to the load. Also less is best, why put your signal through so much stuff when two tubes will do the job. Quote

philodox Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 Yeah, those are the same cheap sockets though as far as I can tell? Any comments from KG or Craig? Quote
