I have Altec 604E speakers in a mid-sized room. The real sensitivity of these speakers is ~97db. I drive it with a 6 watt 300B DIY SET amplifier with EML mesh plate tubes. I did experiments with changing 300B B+ power capacity. I started with 100uF per channel.
Then I went to 350uF electrolytic capacitors per channel. Next time I added 130uF of polypropylene and oil capacitors.
Each time I got very significant improvement in bass control, dynamics, separation, soundstage. The difference was much more significant compared to changing James Audio output transformers to Hashimoto H30 which cost 3-4 times more!
In the end I added another 1600uf of electrolytic CDE capacitors per channel and got another level of clarity, focus and bass control. The same happens when I added capacitors to the driver and input stage B+.
The difference between the initial variant of my amplifier to my amplifier now is huge. It is like its cost has increased 10 times.
I can’t imagine my speakers are capable of such bass performance with any amplifier.
I don’t understand why producers save on power supply capacitors. Why instead of going to the 845, 211 tube models don’t build a good power supply for 300B or 2a3 amplifiers that had much wider bandwidth, less distortions and a lot of other advantages.
