| Can the top end of a PrimaLuna Evo integrated be tamed w/tube rolling? re: "But I lose bass and details on mids and highs in this set up." @audiophile168 how many hours on the new GL 12Au7s so far? | |
| Can the top end of a PrimaLuna Evo integrated be tamed w/tube rolling? @audiophile168 So, it appears what Kevin Deal reported on his video a while back, start with replacing "center / front two tubes first". Worked well for you, very good, and should be helpful to there future PL owners. | |
| Can the top end of a PrimaLuna Evo integrated be tamed w/tube rolling? @audiophile168 So, you are saying new reissue GL 12Au7s "tamed it" and yet vintage Brimars did not, before? Did you remove the Telefunkens too? And, Yes, the Mundorfs caps can help even more after they form and settle in past 100-200hrs or more. I... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @xcool "... I’m sure I’ll get that itch one day to try out some tube rolling, but I know very little about it. May I ask you what tubes are you currently using?" Yep, with your fairly new preamp and burn-in going on, maybe save the "new tubes" ... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @xcool if you have not done so, take a look at that link above, it describes the upgrade and components. The Mundorfs are obvious if you decide to lift the hood. 6SN7: after burn-in I never quite adjusted to the stock EH 6SN7 tubes in my own Car... | |
| Interconnects for MHDT Orchid @weinhen NOS Tesla 6CC42 (2C51 / 5670 / 6N3P) Looks like this. There is another "pinch waist" version too, but felt the regular version was fine. Looks like this in regular form. If this is too soft or veiled over for you, go back to the GE5670,... | |
| Interconnects for MHDT Orchid @weinhen 1. The function of the non-oversampling R2R ladder technology will help solve some of the digital grain, and provide you "less high frequency brightness" as you are looking for. That’s part of it. Not all of it, burn-in, tubes and cable... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @xcool a few questions for ya, if known. Agree with others, give it a lot more time. 1) what 6SN7 tubes came with it (EH?) 2) and, the 10 Mundorf caps were installed, correct? 3) How many hours do you have on the SLP-05 now before/after upgrad... | |
| Interconnects for MHDT Orchid @jjss49 i would go with a fairly transparent, lively cable, rather than one that smooths... the orchid already does that somewhat... +1 to what jjss49 said. The other reason is you can fine tune from here with tubes in the Orchid, various to... | |
| phase inverted preamps...about @matrix *BUT the Invert at the Digital domain is absolutly necessary if you hear it, It inverts the "1’s" and "0’s" at the recorded disk and 99% of the discs I have sound far better inverted than standard, much fuller and more analog like,.. ... | |
| Mcintosh 2105 @bernardwilliams I do own one and I sent it to the factory in New York and do to covid they have had my 2105 for over a year. Mcintosh tells me they they might be able to get to it in about ten days . So sad, but you cheer me up when you say it i... | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? @invalid ok, did not see it as a quote. Will try again, Thx. @mglik same question, above. And did the tube reseller offer you a return, refund? | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? @invalid I paid $750 for 4 Psvane 6SN7 Globes and they were all microphonic. $750 for a quad - where did you source them from? That’s interesting, you can buy a quad of PSVANE Cosor version globes for $259/quad. Can you share more... It’s help... | |
| Shuguang Treasure Series KT120 On the heels of the reported musical chairs shuffle of designers and employees between Shuguang, PSVANE, and TFJM downsizing of tubes, and the Shuguang factory fire, there seemed to be reports of uncertainty about production 2019-2020. It was a... | |
