Wow, nothing for 5 months and then 3 posts in 1 day! Thanks guys, based on this and other stuff I've read I'm staying stock. Unless someone tells me about some can't miss wonder tube that's relatively affordable. Until then...
Tube rolling Herron VTSP1A preamp?
Hi guys,
Well I love my Herron, it's proven a more than worthy replacement for my Supratek Syrah. Now I'm aware that Herron recommends strongly against deviating from the stock, factory provided tubes. However I also know there are plenty of you degenerate tube rollers out there, has anyone tried this and with what results? I recently put a pair of Siemens EC88's into my cd player with excellent results, but the price of a quad of Siemens is proving to be cost prohibitive, I just bought a new condo, and difficult to find. So my question is this, up to about $150/quad, is there a worthy 6922 out there that will outperform the stock Sovteks? Or should I wait until I can blow $400 or so on a quad of Siemens CCa? Or should I heed the manufacturer and stay stock. Rest of gear is Tube Tech cd, Rega P3, Camelot phono, KR Audio Antares V300 amp, Alon Lotus speakers. Thanks!
