@slaw You’re going in a similar direction as did I, when tube rolling my EAR 834P @bkeske.I think I’m liking these Brimar NOS. Mudlark is sounding great, perhaps the best it has ever sounded. Not sure why I was ignoring the au7’s, but shouldn’t ha...

@spiritofradio Also, you know he wrote his 8th as an 84 year old codger and had a time with putting the orchestra (especially the drum section) through his tricks.   I guess some people think his melodies can be too simple.  But there is a moment ...

@spiritofradio Vaughan WilliamsSymphony No. 8 In D MinorAngel right? I have that one James, very enjoyable. Mine pressed in 1969. Of course I’m kinda a sucker for Vaughan Williams.EDIT: Just saw yours is a London release. Sure it’s the same through.

I agree @simao RE: Hagerman Trumpet - have you used the tube dampers? I find, for my set-up, that imaging improved with them installed on the 12ax7's, placed down low.I just installed four new Genalex Gold Lion (gold pin) 12ax7 tubes last week, an...
