Trioda/Triode

"Cool" tube amplifier and rather unusual for our modern times mechanical design - everything including the charming glowing tubes is carefully hidden inside the black housing. Because there are a lot of photos of the amplifier in closed housing, I decided perversely to use as the main photo dismantled and un-retouched amplifier (dust covering elements is authentic).

Mass-produced in the sixties by the East German company VEB Kligenthaller Harmonikawerke (later VERMONA) in Kligenthall, two inputs, microphone - instrumental amplifier MV3, despite the relatively small (12W) output power was extremely successful device in its class.
With the forming of the complete audio system, broadband loudspeaker, MV3 amplifier was the object of sighs and dreams of most chamber music groups, both amateur and professional, from those years because of an exceptionally dynamic and wonderfully "full" sound.
The program allows to determine the optimal operating point of a triode. It does not require installation and can be run by most web browsers. This is the first version of the program, which will be extended with new opportunities.

Interesting tube monoblocks combine a rational approach from the technical point of view with some audiophile's "bells and whistles". The amplifier (produced by American company Cary Audio Design) that came to my hands probably comes from the early stages of production. I do not know when the first copies appeared - probably around 1994, because at that time Stereophile magazine (01/1994) published a detailed review and measurement results.

For some time I had the intention to build an amplifier based on the famous "devil" tube 6S33S (6C33C). I heard about this tube a lot of contradictory opinions. The fundamental flaw mentioned, is the time instability of it's parameters. Unstable anode current during operation of 6S33S tube is a constant theme in almost every discussion board dedicated to electron tubes. With all its disadvantages 6S33S tube is mysteriously attracted for audio designers. Why? I do not know. Probably anyone who used this tube had their own reasons. As for me there are also several important reasons. I will mention one - it looks very cool, and these "devil's horns" - amazing!!!
