Subject: Technics SP 10 w/ Yamamoto goodies
Hi Jac,
find attached the promised pictures of my Technics sp10. It is equipped with a SME 3012 R Tonearm. The Motor unit is placed in a self made plinth of birch multiply. The whole set up has a weight of about 25 Kg.
Now the Yamamoto goodies: The plinth is placed on 4 MGB-1 magnetic stands. They are just placed under the plinth, no extra mounting hardware. Positioning of the feet is done such, that the whole thing is level (controled by an integrated bubble level). Decoupling of these is extremely good. My record player is placed directly on the floor and there is no problem about that. Listening at high volume or jumping up and down in front of the stereo is possible w/o creating problems or cone movement.
The cartridge is the Yamamoto yc-02 mounted on a HS-1a. As the mass of this two is not to high i have exchanged the removable part of the counterweight of my 3012 to the one from the 3010, which is a little bit lighter.
To complete the setup i have placed the Yamamoto record weight rs-1 at the spindle. The sound of the setup is extremely fast, extremly clear and tons of resolution. In addition to that it has a wonderfully musicality and the right "tone". It is very good at modern 180g audiophile pressings (e.g. Jacintha, or Holly Cole, ....). But, it is as well very good on old Deutsche Grammophon classical pressings, which I never thought to have so much music on it. Another highlight for me is listening to Monty Alexander on original MPS records, so much groove, so much energy and so much clarity, just wonderful.
Best Regards,
Holger
p.s.: Keep on going to make the wonderful Yamamoto products available for the european market!!!!

This arrived at Christmas 2007. Not by Email, but by normal post. I did not know what was inside, so I was much surprized when I opened it. It was send by Philippo Cristallo, who bought a Yamamoto A08S amplifier with Emission Labs 45 tubes. Now this is a very special way to say thanks. I am very embarassed... It is too much Phillippo!

The pictures of this project were send to us by Haksun Kim from Tokyo. The features a modular tube amplifier, without compromise. The power supply is externally, and has tube rectification, and tube regulation, Yamamoto amp meter, and stabilized heater supply. For silver wiring for instance this type is used: Solid-Silver-White (P/N 710-019). The pre-amp uses the very nice DHT AV8B driver tubes from AVVT, that are still available as NOS supply. As far as I know these products can be custom build for you by Haksun Kim.

300B-XLS
Hi Jac Yesterday I tried the EML 300B-XLS you sent to me and found,
even after only 2-3 hours of buirning in time, that the result was much
better, when compared to the Full Music 300B, in every aspect. The noise
level was much lower, you have to stand 20 cm from the speaker to realize
that the amps are on. The soundstage was deeper and wider, the balance
was much better. without the "brightness" (with the bad meaning) of the
FM, bass was much tighter and the instruments had a better natural presentation.
All these factors result in a much more relaxing and more involving in
music feeling. These valves are really excellent. Many thank's George

Hi Jac.
Yesterday, after 20 hours of burn-in, a serious sound was obtained with my amplifier, entirely designed by me. Today, I was playing to compare this amplifier with a good Push-Pull of my own design too, and differences was amazing. This is massive linearity. Reality. Music. It sounded "big" (giant soundstage). I've attached some pics of Emile amplifier. I am very impressed with 320B-xls.
Thank you very much. I would be very proud to seing some pics of my amp on your web.
I hope you have very happy new year and merry christmas !

Subject: Hvem sier at størrelsen
er ikke viktig?
Hei Jac!
Takk for tilsendet 300B XLS og de andre rørene!
Hvilken fryd å se 300 B XLS-rørene innpakket med så
mye omsorg i emballasjen. Hvilken enda større glede å kunne
pakke dem ut. Deres form og innhold er en sann estetisk nytelse! Glasskolben
gir samme følelse som et munnblåst rødvinsglass.
Jeg ble overrasket over at rørene var så my større
enn tradisjonelle 300B-rør. Mine forventninger ble også overtruffet
når det gjelder klangen. Den var virkelig "stor". Denne kombinasjonen
av distinkt 3-dimensjonalitet og klarhet samtidig som klangen fortsatt
er av full varme og "sprøhet". Musikken "hviler" i ørene
og er aldri påtrengende eller trøttende. Og hvilken dybde
i klangbildet! Selvsagt er størrelsen viktig, også hos 300B-rør.
De er nå en verdig partner til mine 845 rør. Begge har omtrent
samme høyde. Jeg har bare oppdaget en eneste ulempe. Disse rørene
er så forførerisk at man helst vil tilbringe mye, mye tid
med dem. Dette har ført til at min kone ble
sjalu og har truet med å knuse dem!
Jeg skjelver ved tanken!!!!

Thank you for packing the Auricaps so professionally, they have arrived safely and I look forward to put them into my electronic crossover as signal coupling DC-blocking caps.
Could i ask for a piece of advice? My B&W CM2 loudspeakers that I use for frequencies above 100Hz (below 100Hz handled by subwoofers) have in each speaker 2 caps in the crossover (and 2 good quality coils). The caps are 10uF/100V approx. 4,5cmx2cmx1cm and 4,7uF/100V 3cmx2cmx1cm yellow plastic types. I guess it is some kind of foil types.
I wonder whether they should be replaced by Auricaps of the same capacitance value. However I believe I have read that a cap of e.g. 4,7uF/100V and a cap of 4,7uF/450V behave differently in the same application. This means that a cap of 4,7uF/450V will have another value than a cap of 4,7uF/100 if replacing the 100V type. Am I wrong? Can I just replace the existing 100V types with Auricaps 450V types and expect them to give the same crossover frequency and a better sound?
Best regards

| This is an amazing hobby project - better
than any professional design. The first picture was send Nov 9th 2004.
In next two years, the amplifier was constructed step by step - EXACTLY
- as planned. The work was partially done in Curacaou where Kees
was working at that time, and the final touch was done in Holland, when
he moved over there. It is constructed from one solid block of aluminium,
and uses only the FINEST components available, like silver wound transformers,
Yamamoto Teflon Sockets, and of course Emission Labs 300B-XLS. What
really amazed me is the detailed planning, and the perfect way this was
done. So, the above picture is NOT made from the final amplifier
as you may think. This picture was made in the evening hours, with special
design software which Kees uses for his day time work. Though running
on a very expensive computer, making one picture like this takes the program
several hours.
To give you an idea, from the Emission Labs 300B-XLS the logo was scanned into the software. From the glass shape, all radius, estimated glass thickness, and other numbers were entered, the plate dimensions were estimated by looking inside. So that was really a lot of work. Then, with special ray tracing software, the virtual pictures of the 300B-XLS tubes were constructed. With the software, they can be placed anywhere in the drawing, at any position, you can choose any kind of the light to come from any direction, etc. This is called ray tracing software, and profesional software as used here gives near photo reality. Of course, only if all data is entered, and this ad to be done with ALL parts used. In one word: AMAZING! After making the drawing like this, the virtual amplifier can be projected in any color, with light from any angle, etc. After that, it was was made excactly by the drawing coordinates. Bedankt Kees! |

Labs 320B XLS / Test report
|
I would like to let you know something about my experiences with the new 320B XLS powertriode. I designed a pair of monoblocks with this tube, because I wanted to create an amplifier with the sound of the well known 300B, but with more power. PSE and PP can be used to gain more power, but I wanted to keep the detailed and specific sound of one 300B. The parameters of this 320B XLS gave me the possibility to make an SE amplifier with much more power than a single 300B I use an OPT typenumber VDV3025PP, which here in Holland is distributed by Amplimo (www.amplimo.nl) I used these transformers before in different applications. They performed very well in combination with a good tube. The transformer parameters are: 14W at 20Hz and from 30Hz to 40000 Hz the RMS power of more than 20W is available. My amp type ALFI HQSE 20 delivers proudly, some undistorted 9.3V RMS in a resistive load of 4Ohms, which is 21.62W RMS precisely. The amplifier accurately follows the parameters of the OPT. It gives a very detailed, musical, spacefull and powerful sound. The advantages of SE sound are fully present in the room. A fantastic tube with a rich, powerful and musical sound. It has got a very nice shape and is very well manufactured. A picture from the Mock-Up of one channel is attached. Friendly Regards,
ALFI, The Netherlands |
Hi Jac,

Hallo Jac,
...endlich war mal etwas Zeit um in aller Ruhe deine EML 300B XLS zu probieren. Es brannte mir ohnehin schon lange unter den Nägeln.. :-)) Doch wie berichtet, mußte ich sicherheitshalber erst die Arbeitspunkte korrigieren. Das ist jetzt geschehen.
Nun läuft die EML Röhre zwar noch immer nicht mit meinem gewünschten Arbeitspunkt ( 55 W ) sondern etwas darunter mit etwa 50 W und ich muß dir gestehen, daß sie ein absolutes Götterteil ist !! Ich habe noch nie zuvor einen so perfekten Mitteltonbereich gehört. Stimmen sind derart realistisch, daß es eine wahre Freude ist. Auch mit dem restlichen Spectrum bin ich sehr zufrieden. Im Moment fehlt mir ein wenig Punch ( wegen niedrigeren Arbeitspunkten als zuvor mit KR 300BXLS ) doch ich kann mir vorsstellen, daß nach der Einbrennphase und im Betrieb mit 55W das Teil noch gehörig zulegt.
Zumindest ist die EML jetzt schon unschlagbar was Durchhörbarkeit und Details anlangt. Gratulation !! Ohne dir zu schmeicheln, aber es ist die beste 300B die mir je untergekommen ist. Und sie harmonieren einfach perfekt mit der EML 2A3 mesh als Treiber. Nicht unerwähnt sollte die perfekte Verarbeitung der Röhren bleiben. Einfach toll !!
Nun bekomme ich allmänlich Lust auf die EML 274er Gleichrichter :-)) mit der Hoffnung, daß die klanklichen Eigenschaften weiter gesteigert werden können..... ??? ( im Moment habe ich TJ 274B laufen, die ganz gut ins klangliche Konzept passen. Optisch jedoch einen starken Stilbruch mit den schönen EML's darstellen :-))

By: Michael Walsdorf 09-Sept-2004 At the suggestion / inquirey from other AA Inmate's I recently compared the Sovtek 2a3's [at 45 & 2a3 operating points] to my 45s; Emission Labs solid plate and NOS National Union ST 45's. The Sovteks didn't provide the results the person(s) suggested or were looking for but what struck me was the comparision between the two 45s. After spending almost the last two months exclusively with the EML 45's the differences are even greater than I stressed in earlier reports. The first thing I noticed was how much more powerful and extended they were over either tube; NU 45 or Sovtek 2a3. Supercharged is a apt descriptor. You can feel the presence in the room. They project images that interact with you, and with the other tubes [or any OPT I'm familiar] you are watching the proceedings more so than taking part. Yes, the EML tubes are very expensive but my association has resulted in the most dramatic and satisfying benefit I've witnessed with any tube period! Highly recommended to all 45 users. YMMV. MikE |
hallo,
heute war der spannende Moment. Zum ersten Mal mit beiden SE-Amps Musik gehört. Ich habe "gehobene Zimmerlautstärke" eingestellt und mir klassische Aufnahmen, sowie Musikstücke mit akustischen Instrumenten angehört. Ebenso Aufnahmen mit Gesang und Rock/Poppmisik.
Mir fällt dabei auf das die Amps sehr fein auflösen. Die Wiedergabe eines Konzertflügels klingt sehr beeindruckend. Ich habe eine Aufnahme wo Glenn Gould Bach Variationen spielt und verschiedene Flügel werden auch mit verschiedenen Klangfarben wiedergegeben. Der Klang der gespielten Töne wird sehr differenziert und mit vielen Feinheiten wiedergegeben. Glenn Gould singt und summt im Hintergrund leise mit. Das habe ich auch über meine Transistoramps gehört, aber die Röhren machen das besser.
Eine Aufnahme mit gezupfter Bassgitarre klingt ebenfalls sehr gut. Tiefe Töne kommen druckvoll. Da ich die Aufnahme kenne war ich doch überrascht. Jede Art von Musik klingt sehr gut. Leicht, mühelos und locker. Wunderbar vom Klang und alle Schallereignisse werden sehr fein wiedergegeben. Natürlich habe ich keine Erfahrung was das Hören mit Röhrenverstärkern betrifft, aber ich bemerke deutliche, im positiven Sinne wahrnehmbare Unterschiede zu meinen alten Amps. Die Stimmen von Musikern lösen sich besser voneinander. Der Sänger von Rammstein (jaaaaa die höre ich ab und zu!) rollt das R sehr stark und genau so klingt es auch.
Ich denke, das ich mit der Entscheidung den Ceasar zu bauen keinen Fehler gemacht habe. Es mag bessere Verstärker geben, aber ich bin mit dem jetzigen Ergebnis erst einmal zufrieden.
Viele Grüße,
Rainer

die Roehren sind am Montag angekommen. Die kriegen Sie nicht mehr zurueck. Es sei denn, wenn sie in der Garantiezeit kaputt gehen. Danke für die Empfehlung! Die sind grossartig! Man kann damit sogar ganz gut Orchesterwerke hoeren. Es ist alles da, und vor allem natürlich.
Ich kenne viele teuere Anlagen. Aber ich muss jetzt nicht mehr von diesen traeumen.
Du sollst noch mehr Kritik und Test in deine Webseite einnehmen: z.B. eure 300B-XLS 103 Punkte, waehrend WE 300B nur 98.
Wuensche dir alles gute!

Dear Jac,
I now own Emission Labs 300B's also in addition to the 45's and 2A3's. Nothing can even come close to these tubes, and I have thousands of dollars of NOS right here in my possession and I go for the Emission Labs everytime!

By: Johan Schut 04-Sept-2003 English translation. Click here for the original Dutch text. I am listening for quite a while now to my 300B-XLS amplifiers, but hearing those is still a problem for me... because I can't stop listening, and listening again ;) What a difference they make, compared to standard 300B's. These tubes have a drive that makes me shiver. We did a hearing session at my home, using following components:
I own a test CD by Van Den Hul, and it has a digital recording of a drumkit (by Bernard Beeftink). This recording is completely free of noise, and it seems to appear right into your living room. With several of the transistor amplifiers I tested, this recording was difficult to reproduce, and it sounded as if these amplifiers were simply not fast enough. For the 300B-XLS this was no problem at all, and during all of the session the music was completely under control, also the bass part. I can assure you that after the session all of the listeners were enthousiastic, and it started several tube projects :-) Someone was building a 2A3 amplifier, and had regrets about his tube choice after he heard the 300B-XLS ;-). I just wanted to tell you this. I was "warned" about the sound quality of the 300B-XLS, and I must say it is true!! Thanks again for this top quality. Audio greetings,

Hello Jac,
The tubes arrived today in perfect condition and are now making sweet music in the DRD45 amps. My initial impression is one of neutrality and realism, something I'm not used to as i've lived with 845s for almost ten years. I'm burning them in slowly using my Impulse speakers, only 92dB, and i'm surprised how loud 1.5 watts is. Will move them onto the Duos in a few weeks. The amps are unbelievably quiet and feel I made, with your advice, the right decision in the solid plates.
Hope everything goes well in the next few weeks and I'd like to thank you once again for your excellent service and advice.
warm regards
Barry
hallo jac,
habe die beiden wunderschönen röhren
bekommen, bin gespannt, wie sie funktionieren!
danke nochmals, auch für die cd,
grüße, hermann
Hallo Jac,
die RE074d ist inzwischen gut bei mir eingetroffen, sie war ja auch sehr gut verpackt! Vielen Dank und beste Grüße

Many thanks for the links, always appreciated,
and I want to say a big "THANK YOU" for keeping the Vaic stuff going
in the Czech Republic. This is world's best production DHT, and I'm
glad to see it continue!
Hallo Jac,
vielen Dank für den schnellen Versand. Klasse !!! Dann kann ich sie vor meinem Urlaub sogar noch einbauen ;o)))
Viele Grüße

THE BEST POWER OUTPUT TUBE I HAVE EVER HEARD!!
That about covers that.
Dear Jac,
I just wanted to tell you that I now have a pair of Emission Labs 45's and Emission Labs 2A3's, and I use them in the Wright WPA 3.5's and the Wright 1.75's with the Wright WLA-12A Pre amp with a set of un-modified Klipsch Klipschorns and your tubes have elevated my system to the very highest level. How I know this is because I used the very finest and most expensive NOS 45 and 2A3's money could buy and the improvement was not slight but massive. These are easily the finest tubes in the world and with this tube available there is NO NEED to seek out NOS anymore. One more observation... the build quality seems to be out of this world, not to mention the most beautiful tubes I have ever held in my hand. Keep up the good work.

Hi Jac!
Thank you very much. It's been a pleasure dealing with you. I am VERY encouraged by a review I just read on the AVVT 300BLS at www.enjoythemusic.com. Thorsten Loesch calls it one of the best 2 300b's on the planet, you should check it out. I'll see if I can attach it to this e-mail, if not the article is in the Review Magazine under equipment.
Best regards,

Jac,
I received the package on Saturday in very
good condition. All the tubes are tested fine. Thanks. Will do more business
with you.
Thanks Jac,
yesterday I spent a few hours listening to the new AV8 tubes and I'm impressed by the sound I get. Bass is so incredibly tight. The sound image is so rich and clear. There is no typical 300B wooly sound. I tried them at about 380V, 27mA. I don't feel any power limitations. They sounds much stronger than 300B's (AVVT and full music).
Pure pleasure...
Best regards
Maciej
Beste Jac,
Vandaag in goede orde de buizen ontvangen en natuurlijk
meteen uitgeprobeerd. Wat een prachtig warm geluid en ze zijn nog niet
eens ingespeeld. Ik had uit Amerika 2 All Music
buizen gehaald een jaar terug, nikkelplated. Zijn deze dat ook? ......../

Hello Jac,
I received the tubes and they are great - very beautiful. I am quite pleased with them. After I finish a few projects I will start to work on a circuit for them and will most likely seek your assistance.
I hope that everything is going well with you.
Best regards,
Jon
Dear Jac,
I have received the tubes this morning, thank you! I was impressed by the Emission Labs 300B: NICE ONES! I will do some testing on them and write an article for the Costruire Hi-Fi magazine.

EML 45 MESH / TEST REPORT
Added to the guestbook here, with the kind permission of the author II've been listening to - and comparing - the new Emission Labs (formerly VAIC) mesh plate 45 for the last few weeks, and a few inmates have asked me to post my impressions. Here we go. First, these are impressions after about 50 hours of use. They do change a bit, and they may change a bit more with another 50 hours of use. I've been listening to them in a custom built 45 amp from Tektron in Italy, RCA 280 rectifier, RCA grey glass VT231 drivers, great c-core trannies, Vitamin Q/Cerafine/Black Gate caps. So that's the context. Let's get one thing out of the way first. They look spectacular. Those filaments lit through the mesh are very cool. It's tough to be objective about the sound when the looks are so good. It's also looking like a very sturdy built tube, they make NOS varieties look like toys in comparison. But those NOS 45's, particularly the legendary early globes, not only have tremendous collector appeal, they have a special sound that is unique in audio - and hard to displace. Now, I'll get to the conclusion. The new mesh plate 45's are spectacular and out-globe the globes. Whether or not the outdo the VAIC solid plate 45 is matter of taste, I suppose. Comparing the VAIC solid plate to the mesh plates: the solid plate are very much a transparent 45 sound, perhaps a bit more extended on top than the globes - and maybe a bit brighter and crisper on top as well. bass is very solid and taut, tighter but harmonically ever so slightly leaner than the globes. The solid plate places the notes well outside the speakers suspended in time and space, that magically spooky 'reach out and touch the notes' thing that a good 45 will do. There is less of the feeling of roundness, or slight warmth, around the notes with the solid plates than the globes. Overall, the solid plate 45 compares well to the older types, it may even be better - certainly it is more extended, clearer and sparkly on top. The mesh plate Emission Labs is clearly in the same sonic family as their solid plate 45. The best way I can characterize the differences is - there is simply more 45 in the mesh 45. More of the magic. More musicality. Comparatively, the mesh 45 is more relaxed, less sparkly and bright on top that the solid plate version. The highs seem more relaxed, a touch recessed, more integrated into the soundscape. The mids are very nice, very smooth and lucid, without added bloat. Nice and mellow, very present and musical. The bass is still very solid, with a more woody character. The depth of the soundstage is markedly changed from the solid plates, notes are more forward, not the same feeling of peering deep into the acoustic space, you are placed more directly into the music. The reach out and touch magic is still there - just presented closer, more enveloping and less distant. The feeling is more of relaxing into the music, rather than being amazed at how deeply you can see into it. Alltogether, the Emission Labs mesh 45 is a remarkable achievement. The highest compliment I can pay any tube is that it makes me feel good listening to my favorite music. Last night, I was bored with my cD collection, having a hard time finding anything out of my close to 1,000 discs that I felt like listening to. Grabbing Keith Jarrett's "Whisper Not" pretty much at random, I threw it on and sat back - to my surprise I couldn't let it go. Immediately I was relaxed & into the music, and whatever was causing my previous night-long discontent (probably the loss by the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Carolina Hurricanes)was quickly forgotten. That's the power of music, and the mesh 45 delivered. I was thinking of discussing the mesh 45 in comparison to various nOS I have on hand. But the problem is, I've tried, but my patience runs thin. The other day, I swapped my Cunningham CX-345 globes in - but they only lasted a few minutes. Not that they are bad tubes (far from it), it's just beside the meshies, they sounded like also-rans. even my reference globes - the Rogers UX-245 from 1932 with very large plates - didn't move me off the meshes. They are expensive. This type of quality usually is. Whether they are for everybody I couldn't say. They did not invalidate the solid plate VAIC 45 to me, they were different - preferable to me, but I still like the solid plates for their strengths also. For all 45 lovers, I do highly recommend that you support this exceptional product, you do owe it to your music to take a listen! Robert van Harn |
Hallo Jac ,

Just received this note from a customer who ordered the VV45s last week:
Doc,Despite the detractors on this tube who say not as sweet, it is already after 20 hrs miles ahead! I am earing things off lp never heard before....add that I was using NOS cunningham 345's, that was the comparison.
One example: Yehudi Menuhin playing Bach Concerto in D Minor on His Master's Voice (1962), lst movement. Before could hear the harpsicord at the beginning, but suddenly now it was prominent on the soundstange and distinct individual notes were ringing in the air. On lp after lp information like that which not heard before. Not even close. One of the biggest steps up made in a long time besides my Verdier platine and 45 amps.
Another example: on Brubeck re-issue of Take 5..... One of my tests is how good are the drums. How does the skin sound. Just incredible leap forward in realism. It was not just the bass, which was huge in you are there.... but the decay of the notes and the separation and air.... Never heard that lp sound so real before. At least on my system....I am a very happy guy. Listening to all my old favorites as if for the first time.
?VV45 tube?
Word of this tube is already finding its way onto the web. Is this your tube? If so, why have you not mentioned it in "What's New".?
Thanks.
I have heard that you are working on a mesh plate 45. Will this be coming out anytime soon? I am planning on having a 45 amp built, and would love to use mesh tubes.

Tom, we're working on this tube,
but it might take a while to come on the market

Hi!
This is not so much a guestbook comment as a question. Given your commitment to bringing many classic tubes back to life in high-quality versions, I was wondering if you have any plans to come out with a 45 tube. It seems that this tube is becoming increasingly popular with the single-ended community, who seem to feel that (with the proper loudspeakers) it sounds far superior to both the 300B and 2A3. Indeed, new commercial amps are beginning to appear using this hard-to-find tube (including one by Wavelength), and advance word has it that these amps are giant-killers. So, how about an 45?
Best regards,
