| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @charles1dad It´s available in two versions: One running 805s and one running 845s. Either amp is not compatible with the other tubes. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller I´m not using a subwoofer yet but I´m waiting for a reply from a dealer who is willing to send me two to compare (Rel T/7x and SVS PB 1000 Pro). The EQ I´m using is basically only to push the lows a bit. It also shows that the Cornwalls ... | |

| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller First of all: Thank you so much for your elaborate description of the characteristics of the amp and its pairing with the Cornwalls. I´m lacking both language skills and ways to put into words in my own to properly describe what I´m hear... | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... As far as I know the dominance of streaming ended the loudness war as we knew it. Spotify, Amazon etc let their own algorythms adjust the loudness (and whatnot) after they were uploaded. That’s why we rarely have to adjust the volume when listenin... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Thanks for pointing that out. For whatever reason on the website you link to I´m onlyn shown three Linlai 805s, while it even says there are 4 results. Strange. Here I found the 805 I think you are talking about: https://btb-elektronik.de/en/pr... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller I´m not at home at the moment, so I can´t say with a 110% certainty, but I´m pretty sure they´re not Linlai. I haven´t noticed the star shaped thing at the top and as far as I remember the socket is golden – just like the PSVane Hifi. I... | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... Some early CD just sounded horrible. I still loved them because I didn‘t listen to the sound much. As much as some remasters are bad in their own respect, in some cases they were just neccessary. I‘m glad I didn‘t have to fully go through the earl... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller Yes, I think you are saving money not buying the Cossors. And the PSVane Acme really shine but they do cost a lot. Luckily we won a court case this year about a faulty installation. It dragged on for years but in the end the decision wa... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Finally I found the time to do some tube rolling. It really started bugging me when I wrote recently that I didn´t properly compare the new ones I´m using with the stock tubes for example. To cut a long story short: The tube combination I was run... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i I must admit that I still have to find the time to put the stock tubes back in. I started rolling more or less right away when I got the amp so I can´t say for sure if the Cossor is better than the factory 805 (now I´m using PSVane Acme 805s). It´... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i That is strange indeed. I hope it’s not the amp. Did you swap the other tubes? Today I exchanged the beautiful Svetlana 5U4G for a RCA. Whenever I started the amp recently there was a little blue flash in the Svetlana. Maybe that’s ok but I took ... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller Good to hear that the amp arrived and is leaving a good first impression. As I said before, I have nothing much to compare it with and it´s good to hear already that the sound it produces is nice right from the start. Also: You also own ... | |
| 6SN7 GT instead of GTA/B? @mulveling Thanks for the explanation! That´s very helpful! I basically take from it that the amp is able to use them all, which is great. And easy to keep in mind when looking for possible replacements. I did find some Mullard ECC33s and I´m te... | |
| What's the oddest thing in your music collection? One of the weirder CDs I own is one called „Never alone again“ („Nie mehr allein“, it´s german), it consists of sounds and noises a person that lives with you would make. Tracks are called „Taking a Bath“ or „Coming home from grocery shopping“ and... |
