I'm confused though about your statement on power. Aren't the 508's 50W Class A triode? "The ~23W of class A power" is what is confusing. Thx. |

No it is not 50W class A. It's a 50W total class A/B of which about 23W are pure class A. After the amp reaches 23W, it switches to A/B and back when it drops below 23W. That is with the 845 tube. With the 211 tube which is my preference, it can put about about 70WPC.

I'd like to read it, but can't find it on their site. Is it the November issue? It may be by subscription only.
Thanks. Edit: Well, I found an older review of the 805 by Tellig - 2003. And I found reference to his review on an AudiogoN listing of the 805AE, but not the full review. Do you have a link by any chance? Edit 2: Nevermind, I found it. I misunderstood when you said "the latest" and thought I was looking for the last few months! I didn't realize that the 805AE went back to 2003. It is an interesting read. Though it is Class A1/A2, not A/B. So it is all Class A, though some of my reading says that Class A2 loses some of the magic. But I imagine 23wpc gives sufficient volume for most listening.

I've see discussion of rolling the 300 tube in the Cary's, what of the 845 tube? Can anyone share their experience with the switching this tube in the 805 or 211's?
