| 6922 Tube Question Yes the 6CG7 family is a wonderful tube type. Got to be careful if you are not using it as a driver however. I would never put a 6CG7/6FQ7 in a highly sensitive application. Same for 12BH7s, | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? All any enthusiast has to do is prove something to themselves. If you hear a difference then this difference exists. If you dont then it doesnt. Pretty simple. | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? Trumpist or Bidenist. Who cares? Boring! | |
| 6922 Tube Question They are interchangeable but not the same entirely. As oddio points out, the 6922 and 7308 are special 10,000 hour versions of a 6DJ8. My experience is that you will get a shorter life with a 6DJ8, but perhaps not enough to warrant the difference ... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? Including all comments and opinions makes for a tastier stew. Only the most offensive comments should be deleted and even this is a slippery slope. | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle Some of you should check what the defining attribute of a hospital grade receptacle actually is. It has nothing to do with aspects, other perhaps than grip, which would affect the signal. The point of a quality receptacle is simply an issue of im... | |

| A quick question related to Amperex Bugle Boys Yes you are correct. Almost impossible to fake the acid etched codes. After a great deal of experience, you become aware of the internal structure of certain types from certain manufacturers. Even the thickness and shape of the glass become famili... | |
| A quick question related to Amperex Bugle Boys Well the very best by far are the units which allow testing and tracing at numerous operating points. | |
| A quick question related to Amperex Bugle Boys Getter flashes should be either silver or can be darker. What you dont want is translucent. A very good test for strength are life tests. If your tester doesnt have a life button simply lower the filament voltage 1 setting and compare these test r... | |
| My highest praise - for Audiogon Yes imagine being outbid. How unfair. | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes Are you sure that the Amplitrex can supply 500? I thought it only had 400. I am going to check this it out and if you are correct this may be a solution which would necessitate buying an Amplitrex for power tubes. I compared the Amplitrex with my ... | |
| The New Western Electric WE91E 300B Integrated amp ? Actually the way SET amps distort is precisely why you should be somewhat interested in distortion numbers. After hours of comparing OTLs, push pull, single ended and parallel single ended you start to understand exactly why SETs seem to sound so ... | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes The Amplitrex is not going to give a KT150 an adequate test. Better than most other older testers but still it doesnt have the juice. Very few tube sellers are willing to test these higher voltage tube correctly as it requires a much higher than... | |
| The New Western Electric WE91E 300B Integrated amp ? There is no way you can get 20W from a pair of standard 300Bs. I owned a superb Mastersound 32B integrated that I used just as an amp that claimed 22 watts and it only really put out an acceptable 14. The 32B is a very hot 300B variant. At 20W I w... |
