[QUOTE="Telmar, post: 162582, member: 4611"] A friend of mine, who introduced my to MTS-Synergy three month ago, once said to me: "I am absolutely sure I can spot a difference between "the identical Red and Blue channels" ! At the beginning, when my RM-100 was not converted with the Yumeo-MIDI-mod I didn't care. But when I was able to switch between Red and Blue I recognized a difference, too. Being a technician myself and servicing and repairing tube amps for about 10 years, till I quit a while ago and being into tube amps for 30 years now I was curious. First an easy explanation for the non-tech folks here, so please you other tech guys don't blame me for not being 100% correct. I think it's helping more people when I stick to the basics. The general idea of the MTS- and Synergy-system is to have 5 tube stages for the amp designer to work with. The first stage is located inside the host amp, and it's using one half of a 12AX7 / ECC83 tube, the other four stages are located on the module itself, using two 12AX7 / ECC83 tubes. [B]This is important to understand: a double triode tube consists of two amps in one glass bottle ![/B] That's why it's called DOUBLE triode ! (I attached a picture of a 12AX7 lps by Sovtek, because this is a tube where it's very easy to see for everyone, just by looking at it. [/QUOTE]
