@cal3713 interesting thought. There is no question that a separate power supply on each channel can make a substantial difference depending on the original power supply design. I haven’t seen the inside of SIT-3 but if there is enough space inside, you could install the 2nd one in the same chassis and rewire into a dual mono configuration. You would then have to recalculate the fuse rating (if it has one) and drill another hole for the 2nd fuse. It’s another option for someone wanting a stereo amp and saving real estate :-)

@rwpollock Definitely. The idling board of the unused channel does (in my experience) still create a little extra distortion though, so if I settled on that solution, I'd eventually disconnect that board from the power supply. If a friend had a unit, your method would be the easiest way to see what the benefit would be. |
Speaking of Tektron tube amps, they are the 2a3 amps used by Cube Audio at shows. Robyatt Audio carries four of their smaller amps/preamps. www.robyattaudio.com/TektronProducts.htm I may purchase one this winter to check it out. - Robert |
Speaking of Tektron tube amps, they are the 2a3 amps used by Cube Audio at shows. Robyatt Audio carries four of their smaller amps/preamps. Looks like the amps with 2a3 tubes are 2.5 watts/channel. Is that enough to hear at sane listening level, assuming you sit 8-9ft from the speaker ? What about 300B tubes ? has anybody been able to listen to a 300B amp with the Nenuphars ? |
