More Bass Please!
#1

Just finished restoring a Maggie Regency Symphony, have it all back together and am somewhat disappointed in the lack of Bass response. I like lots playing pop organ records, etc. Anybody have any ideas of how to increase?? The amp uses four 6V6's in push pull with a pair of 5Y3 rectifiers. Pretty much all of the caps have been replaced, and it does sound like everything is working okay. Sounds great, other than lack of Bass. Has a pair of 12" field coil speakers in parrallel I think and they are perfect, no cracks, tears, etc. Wondering if there is a way to tweak the output circuit or tone controls to improve this. I'm using a brand new ceramic cartridge, stereo paralleled for mono on the Webcor changer.
Thanks for any help or ideas. Maybe these things are just inherently weak on the bass end, but I have some portables with a just a couple or tubes that produce more bass.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
