I just popped a set of Electro-Harmonix EL34s into my tube amp and love the way they sound. Got them at www.partsexpress.com
Upgrade to Cayin TAD-30 or tweak ASL?
Current system: Quad 99 CD-P > ASL 1003 Dt > VMPS 626R
Goals: To get more warmth, and dark sweetness, and euphonic emotional midrange.
I was wondering if I should puchase a used Cayin TAD-30 modded by bizzy bee (if I can find one) or I should just tweak my current ASL. My current tubes on the ASL are JJ E34L and cifte 12au7 Nos, and stock JJ's. I was thinking of rolling to EH 6Ca7 and something like Amperex Holland 12au7 or 5814a NOS triple mica or command series. I know this is not a ton of cash but I am on a tight budget after purchaing the quad. What do you guys think?
