@russ69 For me, PL gives me the spit on the microphone but not the sizzle as as the spit hits the mike. Try some Gold Lyon KT88s.
Interesting thought. I am running Penta KT88's with the CH LP66S amp
I have two preamps, a Don Sachs DS2 and a CJ 17LS2. When I run the DS2, I get a horn treble at high volumes that is hard on the hearing; but the ultimate amount of aliveness is there. When I run the CJ 17LS2, I tame that treble edge at high volume but lose the last bit of liveness.
Not sure what I need to do. The Forte's provide some great dynamics, slam, and soundstage at higher volumes; the treble edge is killing me.
Wondering if some Quicksilver monos is the answer or maybe Pass/Fest Watt..
Thanks for listening,
