| tubes or no tubes right, and there are plenty of tubed amps (Berning ZH70 comes to mind), that when properly tubed, are as or more transparent than any SS amp, and some SS amps that are darker than most tubed amps, so no generalizations! | |

| Power Cords yes they are, esp on high-quality amps such as yours. the how/why's are perhaps too big a topic right now (do a search for many other prior discussions), but take my word for it, it's not snake oil as some would like to believe. My suggestion: go ... | |

| NAGRA PL-L owner Question S For me, the new 845M (which was several years in development and only started shipping 2 months ago) is good enough, and much much much much better to the oroginal Shuguang 845's that used to be stock for VPA's - really a major improvement.... so ... | |

| NAGRA PL-L owner Question S Elberoth, ever roll ine internal VPA tubes? I recommend it highly! each takes two 12ax7's and one 7119/E182CC. The stock tubes are quiet, but nothing special, so i say go for it. | |
| NAGRA PL-L owner Question S Elberoth, the PL-L is NOT battery powered the way the PL-P is, it has a separate pwoer supply that gets its juice from the wall. No battery involved....On the VPA's, do they have stock tubes in them (I would imagine so). There are significant impo... | |
| NAGRA PL-L owner Question S Kal is correct on both counts. Here are a few other thoughts based on my experience with my PLL:It can be optimized in several regards: First: roll the tubes. The stock tubes are quiet, but otherwise really nothing special. I am using a single Cry... | |
