| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET A relatively inexpensive quad I have running in a 300B Push Pull (I’ve also tried them in the PSET albeit briefly) are the Linlai 7300Bs. Sort of a KT150ish looking egg shape (which you’ll likely either love or hate), and a titanium coated plate s... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @charles1dad +1 I have three customers that can attest to that as well. One of them became a dealer after buying his first pair. He firmly believes in the sonics and quality of the WEs. | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @earthbound For the other tubes, I really like the Sylvania 6V6GT black plate / smoked glass that are in there now, I find them to be completely grain-less and overall nicely detailed and neutral. I’ve tried using some RCA and GE grey and black pl... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @earthbound Hope you enjoyed some good grub! You got it- in SET vs PSET mode there is half the current passing through the output transformers producing 9 watts per channel instead of 18, so the amp will definitely run cooler! Also, I'm not sure i... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Some nice cuts and taste in music there! I'm usually all over the place, but have been on a Woods Brothers kick for the last couple of days. Next day it might be Indie/Alt or maybe some classis Metal I used to listen to in the 80's. I hope you con... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @earthbound I've got to agree! I wasn't aware this album existed until now- so I decided to take a listen. I think I nodded off a few times and so I skipped a few tracks and the same thing happened! Lol. Best, Aric | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @earthbound Posting from the white mountains before breakfast! Hey, thanks for posting about the amp and I'm glad you're enjoying it! Regarding the highs, I would suggest giving the amp about 200 hours to fully flesh out as there will be signific... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @jtcf Oops! My bad, for some reason I was thinking we had built an amp for you earlier this year. Sometimes I get the Agon monikers confused with the actual names of the customers. However I'm very glad that the amplifier is the star of the show i... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @jtcf Hey! I would recommend you experiment with the Linlais on either side of the center 6SN7, as they are long-tailed pair phase splitters and indeed to impart quite a bit of their own character to the sound. The center tube is the voltage ampli... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Sorry for the delay, I'm just seeing this now. So far, I've only used the Linlai Elite 6SN7s without the "Global" silk-screening on them, and I've received 5 pair so far and not had any issues with any of them, and they have all sounded the same. ... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 @everyone who's commented based on actual experience with my builds, or myself I want to say Thank you. Word of mouth has been integral in keeping me building these products for the past 15 years and I greatly appreciate it. @smodtactical No ... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 Just to be accurate: The amp on USAudiomart was one the customer was determined to choose each and every part, and it was nowhere near $14K. It’s not a reviewed piece, and is not one I currently offer. I would not spend $200 on an IEC jack if it w... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 @smodtactical Only because this is a public forum that many people read and extrapolate conclusions, I want to put this out of here. I’ve heard resale being a concern, however I see the occasional Motherlode II, as well as others of my preamps (wh... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @decooney I bought 4 pairs of PsVane CV181s and out of those, I received 1 tube that did not work out of the box, and one that hummed pretty badly. The ones that I kept in, I listened to as long as I could, which was likely less than 200 hours. I ... | |
| Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes! @jonwatches1 Oops. Yes that's the one. |
