Toothdoc Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hey just had a look at the website and I don’t understand the differences in the amps. Are they all power amps or are there some integrated ones. What are triode and pentode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Range Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Both are made by Earle Power amp - They need a preamp He also makes Integrated ( you need to read the specs on the amp - if it has inputs it’s most likely an integrated ) And he also makes Preamps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toothdoc Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Oh ok that’s how u tell ... look for inputs . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Muon N' Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Triode and Pentode are types of tubes, a Pentode tube has more grids inside in It's structure compared to a triode, 1 and 3 respectively, but also types of circuit topologies when talking about them as an amplifier. Different topologies are of different efficiencies/output, and have different sound characteristics. http://web.eecs.umich.edu/~mmccorq/diversions/introduction/ Lots of resources on the net to browse Edited April 8, 2018 by Muon N' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toothdoc Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Oh ok will do some research into that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_W Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Funny that. I just finished looking at Facebook where I saw another bacon related post by Earle Weston, then I come on SNA and find an enquiry about his amps. If you send him an email, include a picture of bacon and tell him you love it. I'm sure he'll give you a discount 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toothdoc Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 I can definitely do that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 You really should speak to Earle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toothdoc Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Oh ok I will . Probably save me spending hours of research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eman Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 1 hour ago, Toothdoc said: Oh ok I will . Probably save me spending hours of research Some of your questions here and on your other threads would be answered by a simple google search. I think you would do well to acquaint yourself with some simple stereo terms and basic concepts of how things work so you can ask Earle relevant questions when you contact him. .. and I don't mean circuit details. I mean what an Integrated amp is and how many speakers you can plug in etc. Straight talking : I don't think you'll be able to understand the differences of one tube to another if you can't work out if the thing is a Integrated or a Power amp. Monoblock anyone ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_W Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Yeah, not my intention to sound cruel, but eman gave you sound advice. First thing you need to do is work out what you need, and then what you want (not the same thing ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toothdoc Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Yep that’s true ... Thanks for the advice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
