get some tungsol tubes i had the gt 12axy in mine a tong sol 12ax7 in middle socket and a tungsol retifier tube and it was sweet,i did alot of tube rolling in that preamp,rca tubes were nice to play with the rectifier tube,also run some silver interconnects to it.it will get really nice,also if your good with a soldering iron you can modd the power supply on that ,by changong some caps and it will blow you away.i got my info on mod on the net somewhere.i dampened the chassi with some vinal floor pieces and left the top cover off it needs dampining bad,good luck
Tube Rolling on a Symphones + audio experience
hey all..
I just picked up this most excellent preamp, and i'm looking to replace the stock tubes.
1 6x4
3 12ax7s
I just picked up a matched pair of GE NOS JAN 5751s for the output stage (replacing stock chinese 12ax7s), and im looking for suggestions on others to try here. I was leaning towards a pair of GT 12ax7 as they are supposed to be a mullard rebuild, and the previous owner suggested some good mullards.
I'm looking to add some texture, some fowardness perhaps in the presentation. some midrange enhancement would be great. current bass responce is powerful, so i'm not looking to fatten that up.
stock, its sweet. but I want it dripping sweet.
amplification is provided via custom ICEpower modules, which is pretty neutral sounding to me, and plenty lively.
awaiting your comments.
got some to sell? hit me up!
