| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L Yes he did..........in 1996 !!!! At a time when tube prices were much more affordable and burning three pairs of NOS tubes in a year was not a concern for most tube lovers !For me, a concern that Methodology has to know about before making a choic... | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L Oh yes, I forgot ! The ARC SP-10 ! | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L Great ! In my experience, they're the only manufacturer which,in my knowledge and experience, have such a design for supposedly preserving the tubes. I have VAC and Conrad Johnson preamps, both start on mute and necessitate a few minutes warm up a... | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L Audible Illusions have their own recommendations regarding tube selection.http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/tubes/messages/21/213226.htmlCuriously, they only recommend russian tubes with a certain reserve for everything else stating that the owner ... | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L Bigtee,When purchasing a unit at the level an AI3, you should not have to be advised not to put NOS tubes in it, period ! That is the main reason why AI units loose so much of their value after only a few years when purchased new.That's unfortunat... | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L If it is of concern to you, be aware that the Modulus is unfortunately known to be a tube eater. | |
| VAC Standard limited edition preamp Forgot to mention. I'm very satisfied with both units. like I said, I just can't depart with either one of them. I alternate them depending on my mood. It's to a point where preamps are decided for many, many years for me. But......if there is a m... | |
| VAC Standard limited edition preamp Of course :VAC Standard LE : Transparent, high resolution, sweet and vibrant, deep soundstage with several layers, dynamic. Will sound forward on voices, acoustics with most tubes. Can be corrected with proper rolling but will still sound forward.... | |
| VAC Standard limited edition preamp You guys are quite late on my original post.I got both the VAC Standard and a Premier 16LS2 later that was hanging around at a nearby audioboutique. The price was so riculous that I could not leave it there. Two different sounding machine, each on... | |
| E188CC/7308/6922 You are right Casouza, they're not 7308. Forgot tomention it ! | |
| E188CC/7308/6922 I've got the tube delivered. 6 of them with the same codes on them.G A C7 4 EOn another thread, someone said they were Philips made in Hitachi, Japan. Had them in my Premier 16 CJ pre for maybe 20 hrs now. Probably not broken it yet, but they have... | |
| Why manufactures don´t burn in their amps and ... The tangential discussions are a reflection of the impacts and unease the buyers are subdued to when purchasing new gear. IMHO, we're still on track here. | |
| Why manufactures don´t burn in their amps and ... Insist on buying the demo unit from the dealer, if it is in adequate cosmetic condition to you ! With full warranty starting the day you pick it up ( which is usually the case ). Let him break-in the next one ! | |
| Help data codes on tube Thanks, much appreciated! | |
| E188CC/7308/6922 Follow up. Found some posts in previous posts last april. Yes they do have ridges on top so that should point them toward Amperex or Philips. But that doesn't explain grey pins if they are Amperex.A gentleman said they would be Sylvania because th... |
