I have one spare EH 6H30, can send it to you if you like if you wanted to source a second one.

Thanks, but I haven't been interested in the EH types and the Sovtek's in my amp will likely out last myself.

Sovtek 2A3, on a SunAudio, maybe i should try to upgrade with better ones even though i still love their sound.

Snap! ?

My SV-2A3....IMG_2717.JPG.9d488829d7658978f8699d7dba0283a0.JPG

 

Re, substitutions, if it is like my amp, the Sun Audio circuit shows the Sovtek 2A3s set up to run at around 18 watts dissipation - which is higher than RCA specif.

Sovtek 2A3s are generally regarded as being designed for higher plate voltages than NOS 2A3s.

Although some say that NOS bi-plate 2A3s will handle more than the 15W RCA max specif.

 

However, I think you could have some fun trying different 5U4 rectifiers and/or 6SN7s

Can any of you sell your Sun Audio 2a3 for cheap anytime soon?? [emoji14]
David, I know a few 2A3 amp from taobao Australia selling very good price and I heard lots of good review from hifi people in hk. You might want to check them out for a bit of fun.

Toma Audio in Tweed Heads are listed on Sun Audio's Japan webpage as being Aus agents.

I can confirm that the SV-2A3 sounds surprisingly good for what appears to be a fairly common schematic.

However (i) first 2 stages are direct-coupled (ii) it employs all-Tamura transformers.

I only used my mobile, I remember I CPU you can change the language to English.

You can try using a CPU.

May be you need to register first.

Hate to say it, but that looks to be a 'clone' (which is not to say that it is not any good but...) - at a glance, transformers are not Tamura, unpotted PSU choke, Shuguang tubes, different internal build....

Good price however.

I only did a quick search so no idea. Lots of clone in China for sure. For the price, good for a toy to try out I think.
I know price from taobao is close to half cheaper than you buy from Ebay for example. If anyone is serious, I wouldn't recommend to buy from taobao...
