3C24 tube amp recently converted to 812 ouput power tubes.

Dan,

Please help a brother understand. Who initiated this redesign? Was it Paul’s idea? Or was three something more you were looking for from the 3C24 amps that had him recommend this update?

Oh,  and how much power do those tubes / amps put out now?

Markus, the change in the design in of this amp was all Paul's idea. I seemed to be having problems with the combination of the 3C24 tubes and the other small tubes the 3c's worked with. I only started using tube amps a few years ago, I went from a VAC PA 35.35 to an SET 300B (which I still have, and which Paul worked on first for me).

As far as its power output, I guess I never asked, but in its first design (the 3C24), it put out around 11 Wpc. This amp seems to have a good bit more power now, compared to its previous iteration.

As I've stated, I am extremely satisfied with this amp in its current configuration, and I will live with it gladly for the rest of my days.

Regards,

Dan

Thank you for your post Dan. . I was blessed by your attitude and honesty! Your wife is lucky to have you as her husband. I hope and pray you have both the years and strength to care for your wife as you desire.  

Grannyring,

I really appreciate your comments. My wife has been the hardest working woman I've ever known. She loved gardening so much, in the summer, it would be dark outside and she would still be out in the yard working..

I view her in total admiration, so now my job is a bit different. She doesn't remember where the kitchen or bathroom is, or that her mother passes away in Thailand around ten years ago, but we're able to still have a bit of fun now and then. Being happy is how I choose to live, we all get different difficulties thrown at as we age, just don't make life too important to enjoy it. Appreciate and enjoy, that's my motto.

Peace to you my audio brother.
