| Shuguang Treasure Series KT120 @falconquest good decision, a few years ago there was more availability of a few different brand KT120s and agree they kinda disappeared. I too recently ordered the Tung Sol KT120s to retry in place of my KT150s. So far so good. | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... @invalid "Well tube amps certainly seem to sound different than high current soild state through Heil AMTs and I’ve done videos that easily prove this. Everything was held the same. The Vanessa tracks are within 0.1 dB and the SRV are within 0.5 ... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @dilatante Those should work nicely and a great match with your amp too. Nice. I had the Cardas GC and CR ic cables myself and can truly appreciate what you have there. I did have to get one pair Golden Cross reterminated once. So, this slight ... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @dilatante have you swapped in completely different / better shielded interconnects and different speaker cables just for the heck of it to see if anything changes? While my SA-200.2 was dead quiet, some other adjacent components can generate thi... | |
| 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? |
