pcking1624705747 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Class A with no feedback is definitely sweet but needs high efficiency speakers. ;D But may not be able to deliver tracks with deep punchy bass. ;)
ian99 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Cool, hope it goes well, I have looked at it before and thought it looks good. I am running my 5th Chinese amp now, a MingDa MC34-B. It is very good with no mods or tube rolling. One of the amps gets too hot after a few hours, or needs a fan, it has the really big tubes and is single-ended class A and is very small in size. But the other 4 are really sweet, and moreso the MingDa. But that one you are looking at sure looks sweet! Have fun.

kwhv Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 will know tmw, ;D Wow! This is one pretty Sun Audio 2A3 clone. Did you try using the maximum bid function when you bid?
hifiluv Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 nope, i was a little over confident tis time, up to last one hour, i see myself as only bidder, so i left it as it is. but never mind will try again later. :)
hifiluv Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 Class A with no feedback is definitely sweet but needs high efficiency speakers. ;D But may not be able to deliver tracks with deep punchy bass. ;) tis 2A3 (6W x 2), think can drive my current Primus 250 rated 92dB. currently the 6p13p (10W x 2) is able to drive both the Primus n Diamond (even tho rated sensv 86dB) very well, which is something i cannot explain with numbers.
hifiluv Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 Thank you for all the encouragement and took the plunge again, tis morn at 5am i won the 2A3 amp...ha ha ha.... late morning, receive a trigger frm seller that he wants to send me a photo as the color of the amp is different and if i agree can ship immediately..... will update when i receive photo. :)
2100 Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Thank you for all the encouragement and took the plunge again, tis morn at 5am i won the 2A3 amp...ha ha ha.... Congrats. Let us know whether or not it is bass shy. Coz my limited experience with 2A3 is that it is bass shy, even with high-eff speakers. Change to other tubes with same amp/same internals, ok liao.
hifiluv Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 ok, will update when amp arrives. fm my previous experiences with the tube amps tat i bought (local and import) i find tat u hear 80% of the sound even right out of the box. ie, u get the sonic characteristics of the tube and the design of the amp even when its brand new, the break in just "smoothen" out what u first hear (which happens within 2 weeks of normal playing a couple of hours each nite) now waiting for pic for new color, then got to process payment (i use bank draft rather than paypal as the charges are only $8) then got to wait for shipment, whew...... :P meanwhile, tis set of brand new Counterpoint 6SN7GT waiting to roll over the stock 6H8C driver tubes..... ;) akan datang ah.......he he he.......;D
Guest francis woo Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 No wonder I cudn't find these tubes in my Counterpoint Hybrid Pre Amp when I check it last night. You have it all the time........... ;D

Keep us updated on IA23!!! ;D

hifiluv Posted March 20, 2008 Author Posted March 20, 2008 so tis one is the gloss black tat seller wants to offer available for immediate shipment (seller explained to ignore the EL34s as the tubes are just inserted for the photo, actual will still be 2A3s) after showing both color option to my most treasured confider, my best friend and the lover of my soul, she prefers the maroon color, so its decided and will go for the original color was told shipment fm factory will only arrived end of the month, so got to tungu lagi..... but it think it will be worth the wait.... ;)
benzx Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Bro, you want faster then take the black lor.... I spray paint maroon colour for you hahah ;D :P
