Power is 1.5W triode, 3.5W ultra linear. Eddie Vaughn's custom EL83 (6p15p) single-ended. Has Tamura iron. Started life as an EL84 single-ended with a 6922 frontend but after a trip to Eddie, our discussions, and then over half a year of wait, it is tuned especially for the 6p15p-EB with EF86 frontend and does some amazing things. Will run EL84s also but the real magic happens with 6P15P-EB This Carina has the equivalent of the CCE mod (work was done by Eddie) and can use the 6P15P-EB, SV83 or the stock EL84 tube. This modification takes full advantage of the 6n15n-EV/6P15P-EB tube, which is a Russian video tube that was used as a vertical amplifier for large cathode ray tubes. Though it wasn't designed or intended for audio use, it makes one of the cleanest, most detailed sounding audio tubes you've ever heard. The improvements in imaging, soundstaging, focus, coherency, microdetail, microdynamics, and bass performance when using the 6n15n-EV/6P15P-EB with this modification are not subtle. The sound is much like a good amplifier using the 45 power triode. But, if you don't like the very transparent and uncolored sound of this tube and prefer the EL84 instead, then nothing's been lost. The circuit is automatically activated when using the 6n15n-EV/6P15P-EB, and automatically deactivated when using EL84s. Open to Trades. Please email me with any questions. Thanks for looking.
