The Amprex is much much more expensive than the others in the pic

Gingers, though 400cx-2 scores lowest, it still wins my heart when compared to 400cx:-)

It is hard to find these still with original tubing. For whatever reason, they get yanked out along the way.
The original rectifier was a Mullard. It is nice, but a Holland Amperex is nicer still and gives a slightly livelier pace to the output, but still very sweet.

My experience is that the best sounding combination of line stage tubes are Mullard 7247s (UK made, not the RCA/US made ones) and TFK smoothplates, which is not too far off from the original complement. Others prefer all TFKs, including in the 7247 positions. But I think the particular strengths of both tube makers combine very synergistically when in this instrument. The 7247 is an increasingly difficult tube to source this precisely, however, so tubing options may be limited. If need be, the GE 7247 is a good alternative, but not as good as the others mentioned.

I have had several CX and CXIIs over the years, and a near minty one resides in my main system.

This instrument benefits greatly from a recapping of all the small electrolytics. The heater power supply is a little undersized, draws more current than I'd like to see for the parts specified, but should suffice. Be very protective of power supply integrity, as replacement power transformers are impossible to source, and rewinding is a $400+ proposition. There are also some big 2 watt carbon comps that should be checked and replaced if needed, as the sound can develop tonal irregularities if the drift grows significant. While recapping the films is optional, on the one example I did recap with fresh polyesters, the sonics were significantly improved while still retaining the beautiful voicing characteristics. The phono stage is surprisingly good. Somewhere in the archives are some improved methods of attaching the faceplate jewels that I came up with that does not involve the use of white glue.

Of all the preamps I have heard over the years (including modern high end models), the CX and CXII fall in the top echelon for overall sweetness of timbre and faithfulness to the musical nuances found in the source media. The CXII in particular does all this without losing one iota of raw audio information across the entire range. This, despite what some may view as an excess of tonal and sound management controls. It is in the first rank of vintage tubed preamps.

see mine in naked. almost identical as urs.
----------------------------------------

The resistors & capacitors used by Fisher 400CX-2 should be very good one. I can see Germany made small electrolytics capacitors. The red brown resistors I wonder they aere made from germany. The chocolate capacitors did a very agood job and they always survive after many years.

Hi John,

Congratuation! You have a member in your home!

I personally grade quite a high score to Fisher 400CX2. I think it is the best one in the last party in terms of excitment! Maybe I need to take my Mint M7 to flight with your 400CX2.

I am eager to hold the Phase II, pre amplifier test : )
Michael also supported it. He agreed to bring along his Audio Note M7 to meet my CX-2.

Yes, and PLEASE use a less sensitive power amp compare to Leak TL25A for the comparison.

It will be most useful to have next comparison done on power amp which has sensitivity more in line with what most users have.

"Yes, and PLEASE use a less sensitive power amp compare to Leak TL25A for the comparison."

at least make my calibration job easier and make the use of preamp more meaningful. and probably should reduce the number of preamps as well.

King,

I agree you said that reduced the numbers of Preamp. I think 4 to 5 Preamps under test in the same time are max due to the concentration of people cannot be last too long.
Phone stage of the Preamps also should be test.

Just to let all the Leak fans in HK know that Terry Bateman of Rega has arranged a Leak festival in Essex this coming Sunday. Terry is the electronic designer of Rega's products, he is a very friendly person. I met him when I sold him a pair of Leak TL25+ via ebay. Then he sold a single TL25+ to John Keung!

There will be LS35a, Quad ESL57, some new Rega speakers, Leak TL12.1, Stereo 20, TL10, Radford STA15, Decca Decola, etc. Obviously, there will not be as many pairs of 12.1 in England as in HK! I will take my TL10 with me, may be the Pye HF25 as well if I feel like it.

I'll try to take some photos and write a report of the festival after Sunday.

Regards
Hon

Good morning

Hon

Terry sold a pair of TL/25+ to me. What is the progress of your Stereo 60 restoration. Thanks a lot for the report on the Leak festival : )

This is the pair of 25+ Terry sold to me : ) it is better than my Champagne which has a different output transformer : )
