Bravo Audio - funny looking little tube amps
Aug 19, 2010 at 11:46 AM Post #991 of 2,720
I don't really know which parts I should buy and change.
Till now I changed the MOSFET from IRF630 to IRF510 and tried diffrent tubes (got a electro harmonix and a Brimar).
 
What does the Crosstalk improvement do?
It will completely separate the channels from each other, right?

Will be waiting... because I am also waiting for my k701... thanks mate...
 
 
Thank you for the information ulyses... guess I'll better start saving for a new amp...
May I know what do you use to power up your K702?
Do you think the K70x goes better with ss amp or tube?
 
Cheers...

I am using Bravo v2 right now with my k702 for saving some money to Audio-gd c2.  But I used better amps as you can see in my signature (Little dot, Canamp). K702 suits well with this hybrid desing. How ever, I prefer solid state. That's my taste off course. On the other hand, I didn't listen high quaility tube amp with K702 till now. May be I could like them too if I did.

I bought a V2 from a headfier that includes a NOS Tung Sol 12AU7 tube. Would it sound fine with an SR225 or would it be to overpowering? Still deciding what headphones to pair the V2's with.
 
Any suggestions? Looking at K701/702, D2000s, and SR225i's

I just got a Bravo v2 based on the discussions in this forum.
 
I don't hear the cross talk either. Maybe its my phones or maybe my ears :-0
 
On another note, can those who have tried swapping tubes please recommend the best tubes for easy listening music (to replace the stock 12AU7)?  Kindly list in order of your preference.
 
I've been looking at ebay but the prices+postage to Oz is crazy

I prefer the RCA 1960s Clear tops, then the Raytheon Tube Black Plate That Judge advised. There are lots of recommendations in this thread tho

This is the raytheon auction: http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280552756354
This looks like an interesting auction for RCA's: http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/12AU7-RCA-Vacuum-Audio-Tubes-2-Pcs-Clear-Top-M-SET-/370423510261?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2
 
They're easy to find, just check ebay regularly. also read this: http://www.audiotubes.com/12au7.htm
 
enjoy!

Recently got mine yesterday and Im using it for gaming with my Astro Mixamp. I have to say that it gets loud and it gets AWESOME!!!!! Im just using AD700s, RX900s and HD555s so I may not have the best cans to utilize with the little beast but they sound amazing with this amp!!!!

Hi all, a small naive question. I've just bought this one
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120614152532&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
 
I'll probably use it at work, from a PC soundcard. Anyway I was thinking in comparing it to the heaphone out of my amp at home (a Cambridge Audio Azur 640A) and would like to know where to plug it. I know I can connect it to the headphone out but this amp [the Azur] also has (in the back) a pre-out (?)... should I try to connect it there?
 
I freely admit to my ignorance on the subject.
 
Thanks for your help.

Yes, use the Pre-Out.
