Powerful Push Pull Triode Amplifiers

It sure will and at the top of my list of "excellent possibilities" is your MA-2 mkIIIs.

One question...what difference would the:

"1/4 Farad of power storage capacity per channel" in the MA-3, make vs. the MA-2 mkIII's "1100 Joules/chassis".

Since I don't know how to do the Farad-to-Joules conversion, I'm not sure what these numbers are telling me.

For what it's worth, my amps are "3800uF x 2".

Thanks.

Voltage plays the major role in the conversion from Farads (or MicroFarads) to Joules. Joules = ½CVoltage²

So you would have to know what voltage your filter caps were charged at. The MA-3 works out to 2838 Joules, since the actual capacity is 270,000uf or .27F, and the B+ voltage is 145 Volts.

If you have a typical solid state amplifier, the voltage might be plus and minus 60 volts. That would work out to about 13 Joules. If on the hand you are talking a tube amp, the voltage might be 475V. Then its 429 Joules. Voltage makes the big difference.

I hope this makes things clear... if you walk through it with a calculator you will see how it works.
