| PS Audio BHK lacking.. Love the last two posts. I really like them. On to tube amps now. | |
| How long is the break-in time for a Sophia Electric Blue 6SN7 tube? You'll notice change and settling between 100-150hrs. No need to leave them on 24/7, and 20-30min warmup seems to be fine. I run the former TJ Full Music 6SN7 previously noted as being one of the OEM for Sophia 6SN7s but may have changed over th... | |
| Sophia Electric EL34 or KT88 ?? @tomic601 Was it this way before with RM, It appears RAM Labs redirects the RAM EL34 selection to the TheTubeAudioStore site now, http://www.tubeaudiostore.com/elecgrad.html | |
| Sophia Electric EL34 or KT88 ?? @johnss Thanks for that update Johnss. It’s helpful, as we kinda know many of us are trying, using, and always on the lookout for a few of the good ones to buy and keep spares of. I’ve concluded these really do become throw-away tubes with no warr... | |
| Sophia Electric EL34 or KT88 ?? @whackyWhile I have not personally tried the Genelex Gold Lyon KT77 in any or my prior amps, I too would try them if my current KT150 based amps could support it. They will not. I first heard about the KT77s from Jim McShane years ago after sharin... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @hilde45"...a more detailed description is coming, but they are not harsh or aggressive at all."Excellent. Reading posts, it seems the new monitor speakers are headed in a better direction for you and your listening space. And, with no expensive... | |
| Sophia Electric EL34 or KT88 ?? @whacky+1Agon member @johnss mentioned one other tube above that I heard a year ago in a tube replacement situation on a friend’s amp. As it turned out he was running the wrong spec tubes for the amp, TS KT150s, actually. Great tube, wrong amp for... | |

| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @jhills...remind me a bit of the smaller 1.7 Maggies (that I am using now) with a bit more base energy but with the same deep, broad stage.Good to know. The Maggie 1.7.., the other one I recall a few members here on Agon with QS mono tube amps wer... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @jhillsOf the speakers mentioned, I think you will be be very happy with the Salks. Also, as mentioned, the Harbeths, or my pick of all would probably be the Spacialsjhills,Comparing the three, did you find the Harbeth to be a bit more midrange fo... | |

| Sophia Electric EL34 or KT88 ?? @stereo5 07-29-2020 11:20amdecooney, Prima Luna recommends the KT150 tubes and they are safe to use in all the Prima Luna amps. They do not come standard due to the $100.00 price per tube. Look here. Reads "Premium"only, and not all models. See th... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @helomechThe original Dr. Von Heil AMTs did mellow out some over time, and it was the crossovers/caps settling too, not just the diaphragms. I worked on the assembly line at ESS early 1980s, where it was all invented. Seen some variations since th... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @helomecThe ML Motion 60XTs had a very pleasant and balanced treble in my audition. Very surprised by your trouble with them. ...@helomec,did you audition the older "XT" or latest "XTi" version? Updates for the XTI version mention no tweeter or c... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @hilde45, @jtcf Well, yes it does on the KT150s with a spread of 15ma, and not as noticeable a change with only at 5ma spread. You’d need a multi-meter to use with pin jacks for manual setting. I see pin jacks on the Mid Monos, not on the Mono 60s... |
