| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @fleschler Why are Sophia Electric 6SN7s unavailable? Take this with a grain of salt. Been told by another member I don’t know what I’m talking about. Okay. After the father of TJ Fullmusic passed, reportedly (unvalidated) his son decided to se... | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? @sjackso1 "...I find the 6sn7 board with my Tung-Sol 6sn7GTB provides a good soundstage and a rich tone that you can listen to for hours. I swap different boards and tubes. Presently I am using a board with 2 Telefunken 12au7 tubes. I really enjo... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @decooney, I remember reading about the Grant/Psvane thing a while back. That being in the back of my mind,held me back from ordering a pair of the blue globe 6sn7’s. Yep. I truly wondered if the matter had something to do with other financial... | |
| Looking for suggestions for a good and trusted tube dealer Having bought from most of the providers mentioned above, for my better NOS pairs I finally caved and bought some curve tracer matched-triode pairs from Brent Jesse. They did exceed others and were worth the added cost. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray "He said they are very close to the Shuguangs." I've heard similar from a colleague yet want to test it myself too, later. I've been following some of the musical chairs discussion about some design engineers bouncing from one factory t... | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? Without naming designers, one shared with me he decided to use either 6DJ8 / 12Axx instead on his next version preamplifier because he felt the availability of good 6SN7 supply was dried up or hoarded away. That was 4 years ago. Today we see more... | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? @hilde45 another factor in responses so far may also relate to some people jumping up a level or two on design and improved parts quality with their next tube preamp purchase. Strictly speaking, i.e bumping from something like a $1500 12Axx pream... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression @xcool Now I know what all that fuss and craze of tube pre/power amps are about. I guess you simply have to experience it to appreciate it. ... Yes, congratulations in order, after you get your replacement back. Darn shippers, it happens, ev... | |
| Leak Audio ">> they << just popped up everywhere.." Leaking out all over the place! 🤣 | |
| Psvane CV181 TII in both driver and splitter on VAC Renaissance 70/70? Ordered a matched pair. Hope to learn more first hand in 30 days; after shipping and a few weeks of burn-in. | |
| Psvane CV181 TII in both driver and splitter on VAC Renaissance 70/70? @vineland are you still feeling good about the PSVANE CV181-TII tubes? Are they still sounding good? Lasting longer than 1-year for you? | |
| Tampa Audio Expo 2022 People are now posting various Youtube videos of the different rooms and setups to get an idea of what was there. Seemed like there were few people sitting in chairs in some of these rooms, or maybe they filmed early or later in the show. Good to... | |
| The soul of a builder @fuzztone not totally yesterday. Fortunately, we still have a small pocket of dealers in my region of the country, and the few who can charge enough at their layer to make enough to thrive and afford to stay in business. While i build some of my o... | |
| Just Curious, Anyone have any experience with Margules? Yes. David Marihart Audio is a local NorCal dealer-distributor by appt only. I’ve met the owners and designer at the company at a NorCal show in 2019. Their room got some attention and placed well. Sounded very nice. They uppped the line even more... | |
| The soul of a builder 44 years ago, I started out designing and building my own speakers because I could not afford anything I actually liked or wanted to listen to. Started out to "save money", while hopefully obtaining the next-level-up speaker I could have never aff... |
