| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @aldnorab my TJ FullMusic (TJFM) kinda did the same thing as the Psvanes just did. Gonna pull the Psvanes soon and go back to the TJFM and see if I notice subtle differences. Thanks for tracking and reporting out on your Linlai E 6SN7s. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @aldnorab both sets of my TJ Fullmusic and recent Psvane (6SN7 / CV181) tubes at 24-48hrs hrs did not sound like they do at 100-150hrs. Patience did pay off. For example, the Psvanes were smooth at first 2-10hrs, then became more brittle and... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Glad you got it fixed. Now about the bright sound. Refer back to page-1 of this thread. There is a reason three different people chimed in about the stock EH 6SN7 tubes. This is where you indicated the following about replacement: @xcool "I’ll ... | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? @avanti1960 that's a great example story about the "grilles off / going back on later" to help share differences with others of how sound truly changes from a brand new amp vs. a well broken in amp with 200-300hrs on it. Same story for past 2... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @lowrider57 I have. Now using Psvane 12aU7 and 12aT7 MkIIs made in 2020/2021. They are installed now in two mono tube amplifiers. Bought them to set my vintage nos Mullard Blackburns aside in storage. After the psvanes settled in a bit I kept tel... | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? @travisg EL34 tubed amps can sound plush compared to a clean/transparent sounding solid state amplifier. Each with its own sound signature and type of presentation. One other factor you’ll read about is people leaving their pass amps powered on a... | |
| A bit too "non-audiophile", but what are your favorite high-end tuners based on Looks? Looks and sounds good. Listen to it regularly 👍 | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? @travisg If it is a brand new INT-25, and you do not have 200hrs on it yet, give it time and see if anything changes. I know this is the case with the amps up to ~300hrs. I'm not as familiar what occurs on integrated units, others may chime in he... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? Send both in and be done. | |
| OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name That guy needs to chill and worry about his own sh$%. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @wolf_garcia Nice, good for you. The 25 is a nice amp. Except for a signature 98 preamp, I sold off most of my DH, Cary, and Inspire stuff. Was nice, gone now. Moved on. I’m following along with few buddies considering going back to ss myself afte... | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 Thanks @jerryg123 that helps understand more.Similar findings excluding 170s. I've owned and listened to a few amps running KT150s with smaller transformers and lower plate voltage, and they did not sound very good to me. KT88s were nicer in amps... | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @jerryg123 are you running your KT170s in amps with proper transformers and plate voltage ability to take advantage of the extra 15 watts capability these tubes have over the KT150s? What "attributes" are you hearing differently from KT150s - if y... | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @ozzy 04-15-2022 at 04:46pm "I am using the KT 120’s. I would like to try the KT150’s but I would need 12 of them and they are pricey. What if I don’t prefer them? Too bad there really is no way to just try them." ... | |
| Selling gear with TMR @pmotz ..."I will not sell to them again, not sure about buying. It’s good to hear others have had good transactions, it just didn’t work out for me." Just to clarify, as a buyer and seller, 2/3 of my experiences have been fair. I regret one of... |
