<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yesterday, I have luck to buy these two bottles from one Old chap at Tak Fat, and I have tested at Audiotronics, ther are perfectly matched.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Beautiful bottle and it is super rare </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sound:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Clear, not as people say "Blurred" hi definiteion clarity, Flat and wide responde, Sweet, good mellow Middle range</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Only one thing is that the bass is not as Deep as the Famous Telefunken ECC803S, and more quietness, still need to have AB test. and it is not too fair to test today as the tube is not yet run-in.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The cost if just 30% of the ECC803S, I paid HKD$4,500 for a pair!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What a super good performnce per dollars, I will go and snap all he has....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Aftermath, after I have been using these two great bottles, I can say it sounds BETTER than Telefunken ECC803S...</span><br />
<br /><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Don't believe? go and get two and try... but I think it is damn hard to buy one pair nowadays</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today, I bought a Matched Pair Telefunken ECC803 from Boss of Audio Space, This is coming with Box, Dennis own Collection. He said I can always cash back from Him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I insert into one of his Mini 1998, well immediately we heard a lot a lot of difference, the vocal is so vivid and dynamic. That is the strength of Telefunken ECC803S- wide and flat freqnency response and dead slient!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After I bought the Marantz 8B, I had been changing tubes for best tunes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, this is KT77 Gold Lion sent from a good friend from UK… I had immediately inserted onto the 8B and turn on the volume and listen carefully. Well. In fact, you do not have to listen carefully as the audible difference is greater than I expected.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Comparing with the Mullard EL34, KT77 is more powerful, more musical and have a lot of well defined images, the dynamic is unlimited… The more the volume, the more the power and less effect on the resolution. This is the second day of the amplifier using the new KT77. the tubes had been run in a bit and the sound is more mellow , less HOT than Yesterday, very smooth and delightful way of Presenting her sexy voice for Dustin Spring field on her “Look of Love”</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is so far the best for EL34 variety, well, I still have to try the famous Telefunken EL34. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That requires me to pay another HKD$6,000 dollar for the quad tube.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a lot of people open his eye big to look at me and had a strange question why I use Vacuum tubes on my Amplifier, my reply is Simply warm and real music reproduction by using Tubes. Not Transistor, MOSFET, or IC...could come and dare to make some similar good music as the tubes do!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are still certain area that Transistor is not working satisfactorily. These are</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. High-power RF applications</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many big radio stations continue to use big power tubes, especially for power levels above 10,000 watts and for frequencies above 50 MHz. High-power UHF TV stations and large FM broadcast stations are almost exclusively powered by tubes. The reason is cost and efficiency--only at low frequencies are transistors more efficient and less expensive than tubes. Making a big solid-state transmitter requires wiring hundreds or thousands of power transistors in parallel in groups of 4 or 5 at a time, then mixing their power outputs together in a cascade of combiner transformers. Plus, they require large heat-sinks to keep them cool. An equivalent tube transmitter can use only one tube, requires no combiner (which wastes some power), and can be cooled with forced air or water, thus making it smaller than the solid-state transmitter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This equation becomes even more pronounced at microwave frequencies. Nearly all commercial communication satellites use a traveling-wave tube for their "downlink" power amplifiers. The "uplink" ground stations also use TWTs. And for high power outputs, the tube seems to reign unchallenged. Exotic transistors still are used only for small-signal amplification and for power outputs of less than 40 watts, even after considerable advances in the technology. The low cost of RF power generated by tubes has kept them economically viable, in the face of advancing science.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">B. Guitar amps</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In general, only very low-cost guitar amplifiers (and a few specialized professional models) are predominantly solid-state. We have estimated that at least 80% of the market for high-ticket guitar amps insists on all-tube or hybrid models. Especially popular with serious professional musicians are modern versions of classic Fender, Marshall and Vox models from the 1950s and 1960s. This business is thought to represent at least $100 million worldwide as of 1997. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why tube amplifiers? It's the tone that musicians want. The amplifier and speaker become part of the musical instrument. The peculiar distortion and speaker-damping characteristics of a beam-tetrode or pentode amp, with an output transformer to match the speaker load, is unique and difficult to simulate with solid-state devices, unless very complex topologies or a digital signal processor are used. These methods apparently have not been successful; professional guitarists keep returning to tube amplifiers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even the wildest rock musicians seem to be very conservative about the actual equipment they use to make their music. And their preferences keep specifying the proven technology of vacuum tubes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">C. Professional audio</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The recording studio is somewhat influenced by the prevalence of tube guitar amps in the hands of musicians. Also, classic condenser microphones, microphone preamplifiers, limiters, equalizers and other devices have become valuable collectibles, as various recording engineers discover the value of tube equipment in obtaining special sound effects. The result has been huge growth in the sales and advertising of tube- equipped audio processors for recording use. Although still a minor movement within the multi-billion-dollar recording industry, tubed recording-studio equipment probably enjoys double-digit sales growth today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">D. High-end audio</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At its low point in the early 1970s, the sales of tube hi-fi equipment were barely detectable against the bulk of the consumer-electronics boom. Yet even in spite of the closure of American and European tube factories thereafter, since 1985 the sales of "high-end" audio components have boomed. And right along with them have boomed the sales of vacuum-tube audio equipment for home use. The use of tubes in this regime has been very controversial in engineering circles, yet the demand for tube hi-fi equipment continues to grow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It is funny that some of the major Transistoried power amplifier with output of more than 300W a channel has to go for connecting 24 unit of Power transistor in parallel at output stage, can I ask how to enure each of the 24 transistor is identitical in the electrical and frequency response characteristers!? No way then how to ensure their performance is aligned!? How to ensure their current drift with different change in A/V due to Temperature curve are not identical.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Quall used a Computer to calculate, compute the Right Amount of biasing point for each of the transsitor, can thei computer cancel the difference of each if the current vs Bias response!? No way, how to ensure the sound of music can be compared with Single 100W power vacuum tubes that has a stable biasing point just by itself!?</span><br />

Because that is the soul of the classic, it has better response, and the background is quiet with this Famous Bottle from Western Electric, mellow musical tonal reproduction guarranteed.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now this New Tube is made n Czech Republic with a mess shape plate, They told me that the sound is more or less close to the WE274B, but of course there is a difference in the audio purity and clarify. Price is HKD$3,000.00 according to Audiotronics... My DIY amplifier does not go with Tube for Recitifer portion. As I am more keen on the music appreciation rather than the further investment on the Hardware. Only when I had made a sudden forture, I would consider to upgrade my system with No-silicon-device-Amplifier. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Till then, may be this tube will be selling at a more expensive price tag!?</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HK Snob</span>HK Snobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08536534182778116744noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402068531002244300.post-42521104000133374152010-07-30T10:00:00.000-07:002010-07-30T10:00:02.265-07:00Telefuken ECC803S Vacuum Tube<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCX-czG-NFSQFfTaDkGP3DTpTiVAymKAqdpOTDmNqQ4JqvhEJHtg3rMDXdDzy3w-0J96vfZeZZ1rY4f2MUTimh3VfEKPCIiqyt4TN6nP3REXEnlBII9dtgdh3ulDxd2MJvtaORUzDMwiQ/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" bx="true" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCX-czG-NFSQFfTaDkGP3DTpTiVAymKAqdpOTDmNqQ4JqvhEJHtg3rMDXdDzy3w-0J96vfZeZZ1rY4f2MUTimh3VfEKPCIiqyt4TN6nP3REXEnlBII9dtgdh3ulDxd2MJvtaORUzDMwiQ/s400/photo.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is an awesome tubes from The Teleunken, the best of the 12AX7 Class, I had sold all my ECC803S in the past three years...at a cut throat Price of HKD2,500.00 a bottle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How UK friend told me that the curreent price of such a great bottle is HKD12,000.00 a pair... I would consider to buy only if that is NOS... Or slightly used as this great vacuum Tubes will guarantee life time of 10000 hours with great audio reproduction pleasure for you!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Imagine a Solid State LED will last for 30,000 Hours. and this Telefunken heater can last for 10,000 hours, what can we day about the quality of such a great bottle, if you switch on your System for 4 hours a day and 5 days a week, then it is an operation for 10 years! That is a HKD$1,000 a year. Worth it...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you tried, if you had, I think you will think that is worthwhile!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is no question about what is best made of EL84: Telefunken EL84. Now it is about USD$100 each now... quite expensive, but donot ignore that it lasts longer than you can expect.</span><br />

This was sent from one of my friend who knew me through my blog, he is Sean from Australia. <br />
<br />
Sean came to Hong Kong with his wife Ronny to have a dinner with me on 7 April. The attached Tubes were the gift he gave me, very rare AWV, Amalgamated Wireless Valve tube. I brought them to show to Kuen of Audiotronics, he told me that is very rare and sound very good! <br />
Sean told me that the tubes were made with Telefunken manufacturing tools in Australia in 1967!<br />
<br />
Thanks Sean!<br />
