The balanced output with the stock tubes sounds very much like a normal, solid state amplifier. Remember, the P20 is a hybrid amplifier, so the tube's don't make as much of a difference as they would in a fully tube based design.

No, these aren't equivalents. I was able to find these 1968 Soviet tubes: https://www.amazon.com/6N3P-double-triode-tubes-Equivalent/dp/B00EG3Z1C4/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=6cc42&qid=1611015073&sr=8-2 They seem to be good quality, they have good reviews and would work very well in your amplifier.

Not all tubes are the same. You have different types, Different sockets, Different heater voltages etc. Quite often the main difference is that each pin does something different on a different tube. What the heater plate pin is on one tube, might be the input on another. Aslong as the tubes you buy are a matched pair of one type in the image above, they'll work fine. Don't try to use a tube that isn't supported by the amplifier, as you'll either kill the tube, the amp, or both. Let's put it this way, a GM100 tube is a bit big to fit in your amp.

The tubes will change the sound. You can also use this chart to see what other types of tubes work with your amplifier: http://www.worldtubecompany.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=TSL-CHINA So, as the amp comes with 6N3, these will work: I would take a look at the GE Jan 5670 if you want more mids/treble. If you want some more "gooey" tube sound, you could try and find some Western Electric 396A's. The GE Jan's are about £20 a pair, while the Western Electrics are £110~ a pair. Careful, tube rolling ca

I think the P20 is an excellent little amplifier, and the stock tubes aren't hugely awful. (it comes with 2 copy-cat chinese tubes) Just make sure the tubes are compatible, and you should be good. The old-ish soviet ones are typically pretty decent.

Alot of really cheap headphones are made, and are basically e-waste as soon as they roll of the production line. I could walk into poundland and nab myself a pair of earbuds for £1. They ain't gonna last long. Not all headphones are disposable. God no. I'm not disposing my 7k Abyss headphones after using them a few times. Absolutely not. Try to buy from a different brand next time. JBL's professional gear is top notch, but their cheap headphones aren't, Harman just doesn't put the R&D resources towards it, they could be making 100's of thousands from selling a coupl

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Didn't want anything too gaudy, and I think the Crayon and black works well, with the yellow seatbelts for a tiny bit of colour. Now here's to hoping it does arrive in May, or sometime around there. Would be nice to use it once or twice next summer. What model were you thinking of getting? I quite like some of the 911 Targa's.

Like @tikker said, Atom's have differing sizes. Assume the radius of a specific atom, then use the formula V = 4/3 πr³ to find the volume. Then put both the Neutron and Atom's volume into a fraction to find the ratio of the volumes.

After pretty much doing 13 hour days, 7 days a week for this full past year, I've decided to buy something other than audio gear. Surprise surprise, Derkoli not buying speakers. After being a Porsche fan boy since I was 13~ I decided I wanted a Porsche. Ideally, I would have a 956C, but that's a bit out of my reach. I decided on this 1969 911 E 2.0 LHD Unfortunately, it sold before I could reserve it. So I went off and tried to decide on something else, and finally picked a 2020 911/992 Turbo S with bits and bobs on it. I

Based on a quick Google search, it seems they just have full range, kinda crappy looking drivers. If they are indeed full range, then they're getting a full range signal from the head unit/Amplifier, which means that a coaxial 6.5" speaker can easily be fitted. If they aren't full range, that'd be very odd as you wouldn't be getting any treble.

Really, just look for general quality. Focal and Kenwood make some really good stuff for cars. Be aware that any speaker will work your head unit. However, the more efficient the speaker is, the louder it will get with your current head unit. Look for efficiency, tweeters (if your current car speakers have them), general quality of the basket, diaphragm, surround etc and that the installer seems to know what they're talking about. You may also want to get acoustic treatment for the internals of the doors to cut down on some resonance and other issues. This s

Got some offset bushings to drop my BB height a bit, and slacken the head angle off to 63.28 degrees. Bike is feeling very good now. Longer fork, Shimano drivetrain again (SRAM was bloody annoying), Hope bits and bobs everywhere, Now some offset bushings. Also ordered a "thing" from Porsche, but I'll make a post about that another time.
