NOS Tubes For VAC Renaissance Mk III
The 5814 and 7730 CBS Hytron are excellent examples of premium 12AU7. Telefunken has long been an audiophile favorite for the 12AX7. Tele 12AX7 was my all time highest performer for both Aesthetix line and phono stages.The 5814 is a military versi...

Pubul57Why don't you ask John his opinion about Allnic performance versus other brands. I don't need to be speaking for him.You might even ask him what he thought about my set up, he visited here and listened with me.

Csng1,I think I remember a situation like this before, it's caused when the power supply is turned on and then plugged into the main unit before waiting for caps to bleed down.It blows the SS rectifiers and distortion is the outcome as well as no ...
