"What’s the problem with seeking the best obtainable reproduction, via EVERY available resource?"Im taking that as a rhetorical question. Just in case it was a direct question I never said I did not agree with the statement. I am saying one step a...

@lewm " This dialog could be superimposed on a discussion of fine wines, just by changing a few words. I think the effects of tube rolling are way overblown, although "real" in the eye of the beholder. In my opinion, a few judicious changes to ...

@ mijostyn4 " I think you meant 0.4 and 0.5 mV."Yes you would be correct that is exactly what I meant. I actually thought about that last night as i lay in bed and meant to put out a correction. I realize that people read these forums for accura...

@terry9 It’s funny I never even thought to see if I can find any of those tubes in a lab someplace. Been at the company for 25 years and into home Audio long before that and never even crossed my mind to see what’s available. Lol. Too funny.

@fsonicsmith I do understand. Manley makes some of the best sounding gear in its price point and beyond. I had the pleasure of hearing a system with the Chinook phono pre and it was impressive.

@terry9 Interesting comments since I work for HP. Been there since 1996 😀. Yeah Bill and Dave did it right in regards to everything in those days. Can’t argue that. However if you want to unload those tubes let me know.

@lowrider57 Actually I think that what came OEM in my ARC. I don’t push it that hard so I have never experienced the same think you have. I think it’s a good sounding tube tho. Just a little relaxed on the top, and midrange for me.

I got them from upscale audio. I trust them. I think Kevin does a good job. Bought some other tubes from him. Buying tubes is risky if you don’t get them from a reliable source. I’m sure im preaching to then choir.
