| Difference between Siemens CCa & 7308 Audiofeil, how do you spot a great quality CCa by virture of its sound? Would the above description of my set constitute great or am I missing something?You seem to know this tube, what would you look for both materially and sonically?Thanks,Anacr... | |
| Difference between Siemens CCa & 7308 You said it Rja!I would be curious though to see what happened if they switched places and present the 7308s with a cooly accurate and revealing source. I think what I'm hearing in my current configuration is pretty close to what the 7308s actuall... | |
| Difference between Siemens CCa & 7308 The CCa have a top to bottom clarity that is unrivalled in any 6dj8 tube I have ever heard. The sound is wide open and dimensional with excellent deliniation of individual instruments. Midrange resolution and depth is really quite impressive. Clar... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Speakers are the most important component, but vary the least of any component (save frequency response). A great amp through mid-fi speakers will sound great, whereas a mediocre amp through the best speakers in the world will still sound mediocre... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6dj8, 6922, 7308, E188CC I have recently installed Amperex 7308 tubes based on the review in Vacuum Tube Valley issue 9 and this is what I found:The bass is really excellent and well defined all the way down to what seems like the limit of my speakers (von schweikert VR4J... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6dj8, 6922, 7308, E188CC Thanks Hartwerger.Joe's Tube Lore is really what stimulated my interest in tube characterization. In a way, you might consider it a classic.In a vain effort to expand on that knowledge base I proposed an across the board characteriztion of this fa... | |
| DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization Jomionc, I have come upon a tube that just seems to synergize with the DK beautifully and this is it:http://www.tube-classics.de/TC/Tubes/Valvo%20E88CC/E88CC12.htmIt is designated a Valvo, sold to me as a Mullard, but evidently is a Phillips/Amper... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II Tvad, I truly appreciate your comments and I like the way you put it. There is quite a bit of information to digest and I will take your advice to heart. | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II Jafox, I agree with you even when listening to Glenn Gould:) These are some of the reasons that, personally, I prefer tubes.I think that perhaps the attack of ss is more realistic only in that it is more immediate. Tubes are definitely more realis... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II Thanks Tvad! You are really bringing things into focus. Still, I'm a bit confused about the Amperex PQ deal. Is PQ comparable to a 7308 or do they have 7308s that are not PQ? Where do you reach diminishing returns? | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II tubes really do an amazing job at screwing with the signal when used in the pre and main stagesI would tend to agree with Dave b that tubes are doing something to the signal but then again, who cares? They sound so good and impart an almost indesc... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II Two E88CC tubes from different manufacturers will be more alike than an E88CC to an ECC88 or an E188CCFantastic! This is where I would like to begin. I've just ordered Glass Audios 1997 back issues per Rchau's recommendation (thanks again!) and h... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II Wow! I may not have the opportunity check out the Valvos till this weekend but I will and let you know. I will also look for similar identifiable markings on the Telefunkens and let you know too. I'll then give you a detailed description of the so... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II Tvad: Though I have listed my equipment on a previous post to which you specifically responded here it is again:)My system:Porter Ports (20 amp cryo)(direct to DK, Denon)Eichman Express Power Cables Denon 3910Synergistic Research Designer Referenc... | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308 Part II My integrated is of new design and the differences tube rolling makes is profound. Certainly, modern speaker designs are based on classic designs. I might suggest that modern tube designs are based on classic designs ie. Cayin for instance, actual... |
