Amtrans AMRG "premium" Carbon Film Resistors xamrg

In response to our customer demands, pcX has finally been able to source a carbon film resistor as good as, if not better than, the legendary RIKEN.....it's the Amtrans AMRG. These Japanese-made beauties, are amazingly well built (black anodized aluminum case, epoxy filled, gold-plated copper endcaps, gold-plated OFHC leads, etc..) and are sonically the equal of the RIKEN's....and to my ears, their superior.

Available in both 3/4-watt and 2-watt versions, pcX stocks the full range of E-12 table values for each wattage (61 per type).

Belleson Superpower Regulators   xbelleson

Belleson Superpower - the next generation of Jung-type super regulator. This novel circuit (patent applied for) uses its own stable, quiet output voltage to power its internal reference. In voltage regulators, low noise is important but you must also have great dynamics to deliver power while keeping the output clean and flat.

TKD 2CP601 / 2CP601S & 2CP2511MC Potentiometers  xtkd

pcX has now broadened it's range of TKD volume potentiometers.

2CP601 & 601S type:

We now offer these in both 10K and 100K stereo values - both with (S type) or without (the regular smooth rotation). These parts have long pin terminals, are half the size of the 2511 part, and use a conductive plastic element a step down from the 2511/2508 parts....with the advantage that they are half the price. These still have a great feel, and sonically, are a step-up from ALPS parts.

2CP2511MC type:

This is the exact same 100K stereo part as the 2CP2511 we have been selling for years, with one change - it's motorized. A perfect up market alternative to the ALPS.

ERSE Copper Foil-Q Inductors    x

pcX is very pleased to announce that it is now stocking ERSE's comprehensive range of Copper Foil Inductors (as good as any
other copper foil offering in the industry), in 12, 14 "and now" 16 awg, at the lowest prices in the audio market today !

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you order an ERSE part which is currently not in stock, we will "first" try and fulfill it with an in-stock Alpha-Core part (which is technically and sonically identical), at the same "lower price" as the ERSE (we price match). If the value you selected is still not available from stock (from either foil inductor supplier), it can take up to 6 to 8 weeks (or more), for your order to arrive from ERSE...due to factory minimum order requirements.

The FoilQ line of coils offer improved bass dynamics, reduced microphonic distortion and uncompromising musical neutrality. ERSE’s FoilQ coils offer our purity guarantee (99.99% pure copper ). This level of purity guarantees maximum sonic quality and performance. FoilQ’s sonic excellence is maintained through ERSE’s proprietary low constant tension devices. This process maintains the crystalline structure of the copper foil and the orientation of the BOPP film, once again insuring maximum fidelity and performance.

ERSE’s 0.003 inch thick high purity copper foil reduces all skin effect from 0Hz to 50kHz. This reduced skin effect allows for a more linear inductance and ESR verses frequency then any other inductor including litz coils. ERSE’s high purity BOPP film is up to 33% thicker then the competition, which correlates to lower interwinding capacitance and improved sonics. The large surface area and thinness of the copper foil and BOPP film significantly reduce microphonics. Long term reliability is maintained of these FoilQ coils through ERSE’s vacuum fusing of the BOPP to the copper foil. This fusing process removes all oxygen and seals the copper foil from any outside contamination.

Features:

  • Zero Saturation
  • Zero Skin Effect to 50kHz
  • No Microphonics
  • Vacuum Sealed to Prevent Oxidation
  • Low D.C.R.
  • Very High Quality
  • RoHS Compliant

Specifications:

  • Tolerance: ± 2.5% centered on nominal value
  • Insulation Temperature: 200°C
  • 99.99% High Purity Copper PURITY GUARANTEE

SHUGUANG TREASURES HiFi Electron Tubes   x

**** Visit the ST section on our website - for Special Pricing on some Clearance Stock ****

pcX is now offering up Shuguang Treasure Electron Tubes. Shuguang is the oldest and largest tube manufacturer in China, established in 1958 by engineers educated and trained in the United States during the late 1930's and early 1940's. Today, Shuguang's vacuum tube production accounts for 40% of the world's total tube output, either under their own brand "Shuguang", or under various OEM brands.shuguang treasure

Generic Shuguang tubes come in clear glass bottles. However,
the Treasures series have a carbon compound coating applied inside the tubes making them appearing to be "black bottle" or "black glass". The first Shuguang Treasures tubes were released
in December of 2008, to celebrate both Shuguang's 50th anniversary and to highlight a variety of important technological advancements in their tube production, such as:

a) High Polymer Compound Carbon (HPCC) coating is for the first time used on vacuum tube production. Compared to traditional carbon spray technology, HPCC coating will allow greater concentration of electrons, enhance and maintain stability of the electron flow, maximize "secondary electron emission suppression" from the glass enclosure, in turn reduce effects of electron swirl which generates internal noises from the vacuum tube itself.
b) "Super Alloy" technology is for the first time used in constructing vacuum tube. 'Super Alloy' technology was invented and first used in aviation, aerospace, military and other high-tech market segments. After 3 years of testing under extreme conditions, Shuguang has successfully adopted such technology in vacuum tube construction, to achieve directional solidification and single crystallization, greatly improving the ability of electron emission and electron current stability.
c) Improved vacuum technology during production process, to further improve the signal background
d) Unique triple mica insulating spacers and four independent supporting poles to all but eliminate microphonic effects
e) Gold coated grid and gold coated pins, plus white ceramic base
f) Key assembling processes are manually completed by a small number of senior technicians with 30+ years of experience. These tubes are truly handcrafted.
g) An additional sixty part selection and matching processes are adopted to ensure premium quality tubes, compared to the Shuguang generic clear glass variety.

NOTE: All Shuguang Treasures tubes purchased from pcX are sold in matched pairs - and are closely matched for "both" Ip (Plate current) and Gm (Transconductance). These tubes are sold with a 90 day warranty.

NEW OLD STOCK 6C33C-B
  "power triode" Tube
(and custom tester for them)  ON SALE

pcX has recently received delivery of the custom tube tester we had commissioned to be built for the 6C33C-B Russian power triode tube. Using this tester (4 tubes at a time):

  • we burn-in all stock for 24 hours at real-world operating parameters - both voltage and current
  • we provide the Vb (Bias voltage) and Gm (Trans conductance) of each tube at 250ma Ip (plate current)Tube Tester

These are the most thoroughly aged, selected and tested 6C33C-B's on the market today....perfect for the dozens of D-I-Y OTL designs hobbyists have been building these last 10 years, and for those customers who own 6C33C-B amps from companies such as BAT, Antique Sound Lab, etc.

From Bill Perkins of Perkins Electro-Acoustic Research Laboratory!   pcX now has back in stock, the "full range" of "new" updated PEARL TUBE COOLERS - without a doubt, one of the most useful accessories in tube audio.  

Use of these devices result in reduced tube microphony for noticeably improved sonics; and longer tube life (conservatively triple) due to the cooler "heatsinking" the heat away from the glass enveloped, via the thermally conductive copper-finned cooler material.Pearl Tube Coolers

NOTE: PEARL has converted (since October 2005) cooler manufacturing over to a new fin design, which provides over 60% more contact area with the tube's glass bulb/envelope. As a result, the previously supplied carbon fibre sleeve is no longer required for the cooler to work, as intended.

Part Matching:

pcX offers matching services for passive parts - caps, resistors and inductors - $1 per pair (relative match)...or $2 per pair if you want them matched to a nominal value AND to each other (relatively).
 
Tube Matching:
 
pcX can match any small signal tube into pairs....$5 USD per pair; $10 USD four dual triode tubes (if you want a matched pair that have matched triode sections as well).   Our stock power tubes are almost always sold/priced as pairs already...however, if you send us your power tube stock, we can test and match them for you, for $5 USD / pair (for both Ip - plate current; and Gm - transconductance).
 
Tinning:
 
pcX has a solder pot available.  Any wire which needs tinning due to it's litz (enamelled strands - like Cardas) design, the cost is $0.50 USD per end. 
 
Cable Termination (or, re-termination):
 
pcX has always offered cable termination services - for both interconnect ($60 USD/pair); speaker cable ($60 USD/pair); digital interconnect ($30); and AC power cables ($30).  These prices are for standard terminations. 
 
Bi-Wired speaker cable configurations are usually 50% more; and cables with difficult sheathing, or large number of conductors, will be more - pricing for these will be on a quote basis only.
 

line

As well, we can re-terminate existing cable, if you'd like to upgrade connectors, change lengths; make multiple cables out of longer runs; or change connector style (XLR to RCA and vice versa).
 
Turnaround time is usually 24 to 48 hours after the terminated cable order is placed, or receipt of your cable.

BURSON AUDIO
has a brand new review of their HA-160 Headphone Amplifier. Click the link to read all about it. LINK

pcX has "dramatically" improved the SEARCH function on it's E-Commerce website. First, it is now more readily visible - located in the top right corner of each page now. Second, it requires less specific text strings, to find items.....so, you'll definitely be able to bring up any/all products which have those characters in it's name or description.

Pearl Tube Coolers have finally gone up in pcX Selling price..... after 5 years, we have sold thru most of our "large lot buy" we made in the middle of 2005. Factory pricing has increased substantially on stock we now need to replenish, thus we have had to make the necessary adjustments.

SED-Winged C 6550C power pentode tubes are "finally" back in stock as of mid-February). We had to wait through sporadic production, and large OEM production orders ahead of us, before we could get our stock replenished.

V-Cap has just announced it's first retail price increase in 3 years (a result of an increase in material costs it could no longer absorb)....it became effective March 10th, and affected mainly the TFTF values.
