| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? Agree on the Linlai Elite 6sn7s. I use them on my Aric’s too! | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? Huge fanboy of Aric’s electronics here.... I own his "near" Motherlode preamp for a few years now (works great with SS amps!), and now also have his 300B PSET amp since Sept. After being in this insane hobby for over 30 years, this is the heart of... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! +1 on the Aric Audio preamp. I used an Aric Audio preamp with my Pass Labs XA-25, and it was a great, musical combination; wonderful match. I have since sold the Pass, and replaced it with an Aric Audio 300B PSET tubed amp, and the combo is magic... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes Yes, those are the ones I bought @tksteingraber. The lettering on both pairs of mine are horizontal, just like in that link. However, I got mine from an diff seller: atop authentic auction. I also bought a quad of the Linlai WE 300B from them. T... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes I too have been a big fan of the NU 6f8g round plates, and I have been using them for quite a while. However, recently I have rolled in the Linlai Elite 6SN7s, and they are fantastic tubes, worthy of replacing the NU 6f8gs in my rig. I find the Li... | |
| 300b lovers @donsachs based on your ears, and others I trust (e.g. Aric from Aric Audio) the Linlai’s will be a great choice for the $$. At 1/3rd of the cost of the real WEs, I don’t expect them to be WEs..… just looking for a reasonable 300b solution without... | |
| 300b lovers .... and those treasure globes look SO COOL!! 😁 I'm also waiting for a quad of those Linlai WE300Bs. I have not heard them, but all indicators point to them being quite close to THE REAL WEs. Time will tell! | |
| 300b lovers +1 @donsachs ... I agree with the Linlai E-6SN7 tubes. I have a pair in my Aric Audio Super 6SN7 preamp, and it sounds "super" indeed. The Linlai are just so perfectly balanced in the preamp; nothing calls attention to itself; they are just as m... | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House For all you AGD Audion mkII owners out there, what power cords have you found that get the best out of the monoblocks? The included pair is decent, but I think they can be bettered, so looking for real tried and true suggestions. 😉 | |
| What do you put underneath floorstanding speakers? Interesting that nobody mentioned springs underneath their speakers. I put 6 under my 70-something pound speakers, and the improvement was stunning, regardless of their cheap $26 per 4 of them. The bass tightened up noticeably, and the soundstage... | |
| 300b lovers Why the radio silence folks??? Where are the impressions from the show? Inquiring minds wanna know! | |
| There's No Question Great thread… I started on the Tekton bandwagon with a pair of the Impact Monitors (well, actually had a pair of Lores back in the day, but todays multi-driver arrays are vastly superior, imo). The monitors are tremendous values for sound and imag... | |
| Grant Fidelity Treasure Globe 6SN7 SE Thankfully no microphonic issues exist in my GF Globes! Thanks @atmasphere ! | |
| Grant Fidelity Treasure Globe 6SN7 SE Despite my skepticism, I went for a pair of the GF Treasure Globes about 6 mos. ago. Frankly, they shocked me at how good they sound. I also have an excellent Aric Audio preamp (a "near" Motherlode II I would call it), and the Globes are as goo... | |
| Who Offers a Highly Musical Preamp using a 6SN7 tube and a remote? That is a good heck of a list of 6SN7 preamps where one can be happy with any one of those. As for me, I am using an Aric Audio preamp(close to the Motherload II build, but not quite) with my Pass XA-25 for at least 18 mos. or more now, and there... |
