 ......trying different SET amps with my new speaker wiring.

Its really made a difference how each SET amp presents the music........ But tonight I went to the Dark Side........









I broke-out the all DHT Pull 45 Wurlitzer Jukebox amps.
These IT coupled amps have been refurbished with all Electra-Print Iron and PSSS OPTs. ......... I forgot it takes about an hour for the ole girls to warm up...... But when they do , it's nothing but sweet music.!




Have Fun !

Willie

 So, You've retried the all DHT, IT Cpld, Power Drive PP amps...and...

And, what did you think; this time around ?

The PP45 Wurl amps are great project platforms. Two 30s RC cpld to SE 45 driver thru a 1:1 interstage tranny to PP 45s. With Globe 45s in opt and driver sockets, plus the right trannies, these amps can be as fantastic as any other...!

Will, have u tried globe 45s ? Definitely steps things up a few notches, IMHO...Do you use one or both 30s ? Have you tried globe 30s or VT-67s up front ? Do you have anymore of the original interstage trannies available ? I use only the second 30...I think of these amps as a SE 45 amp power driving PP45s to some serious power; very gracefully and very sonically rewarding.

 

Thanks IT,..for reminding me of the Globes...., posted on February 28, 2015 at 18:00:43

..... my quad of Globes are presently in the Black Stereo PP45 amp,
sitting on the shelf !

Yes these Wurlitzer amps sound very good. ..... I've been using both 30's for inputs....Ah yes something else add to the tweak list...
I've never seen a Globe 30 or VT-67, that's a new animal for me. Would love to hear them !

I love these amps for their tonal quality and sheer power, all wrapped up by the sound of DHT tubes..... " sonically rewarding" is an understatement.

Have fun

Willie

Ok I'll switch to the Globes

 Hi Willie,

Tell me about your new speaker wiring. Is that Mil Spec wire? I remember you recommended it for the speaker crossover. Hope you are doing well.

Best Regards,
Chuck

 Yeah Chuck, If you haven't tried 12ga Mil Spec wire. Then you are missing something special. My friends JM and DF, turned me on to the stuff

Since I replaced my speaker's internal wiring and amplifier speaker wires with Mil spec wire, I've been doing nothing but trying different amps with this set up, and loving every minute of it.

Double wires on the woofers singles on the tweets, Doubles on the equal length inputs. ... Give it a try!

Have fun!

Willie

 I also have had the Mil Spec wire recommended to me, but am considering opting for quality silver, though it is expensive! I have never liked silver over copper, even the more expensive stuff, but admittedly have only heard it in typical solid state, low efficiency systems. What is it you like about music with the Mil Spec wire in place? What were you using before then change?

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

Regards,

 I've tried copper speaker wires and could never get the highs I wanted.

I really liked the DIY made Teflon coated 20ga Silver Wire speaker wire, on my GPA 604's.

I also really liked the Chinese Flat Ribbon Silver Plated Copper speaker wire I bought off Ebay.

If I could afford it I'd use double "12ga Stranded Silver" wire........ So I settled for the Mil spec instead !.

The Mil spec. esp. in larger gauge gives me a very nice combination of good solid Bass and extended highs I need.

Have fun!
Willie


In my Crossover I tried to use as much Silver wire as I could acquire, paying attention to the grounds.
