Where is this little jem going to fit into your system?

Very Nice Dan; when you're done swing by & help me finish wiring mine. ;)

Congrats Dan,
I'm jealous... I have to wait until tomorrow. I also scored a pair of Kimber 8TC to try with the new amp. |
Dan,
I don't see any terminations... are you going "commando"? |
Already have your tubes ready.....that is nice. Where did you get them? How did you make your choice of which type to use........I have seen almost everyone choose the Gold Lion for the power tubes....but how about your choice on the signal tubes?
Ron C had a great post in the past about how the "use of tubes" change when the amp is in mono. I think some of the tubes aren't used in mono but have to be present to function. Anyone remember the particulars of how that works.... jc |

You know, I had an MC 275 V about 1 1/2 years ago and was disapointed. This was on some Klipsch lascala II's also......My MC252 sounded better.
I regreted that I never changed the tubes.... I know that when I changed the tubes on the C220 to some teles....it was a huge difference... |

When using balanced cables, the only tube not being used in the MC275 is the 12AX7 in the very first socket, as this tube is only used when connecting the amp with unbalanced cables. The tube has to be in place, though, to complete the tube heater circuit as I remember. It could be any make tube when using balanced cables, but I use the same 12AX7 tubes in all three sockets just as a matter of course, and for aesthetics. I don't want one oddball tube sticking out like a sore thumb. I leave the tube cage off so I can enjoy looking at the tubes, so how things look is important to me. |
