| Phono Preamp Tube Rush I change something and if in a couple weeks i want to go to bed at night instead of listening, the change was bad. | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush I think it's more about what sound you want than tubes that are worn out. Right out of the box, different tubes make the VTSP-2a sound different, even better in my opinion. Others may be just fine with the stock tube sound. It's a matter of person... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush That's great news about the Gold Lions. Now that you know that you can improve the VTPH-2a with different tubes, It may be a interesting experiment to grab a pair of smooth plate Telefunkens from ebay and see if the improvement in sound quality i... | |
| Lamm LL2.1 Tube Recommendations? So I've settled on the Brimar 13D5s and replaced the EAT 6922 with a nice used pair of Siemens CCa that I bought on Ebay from a reputable seller in Germany. The CCas and 13D5 really make everything better. More tuneful bass than I've ever heard in... | |
| Decca cartridge balance output question Just email John Wright at Decca. He's really the best. John@jwaservices.plus.com | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! That's what is said about every new VPI model. What are they up to now, 100 models since the 1980s? How can every model be "new and improved"?This is my problem with VPI. They keep making new turntables and then 3 years later offer a turntable t... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Holy crap that's an expensive record! | |
| Lamm LL2.1 Tube Recommendations? One thing I've learned, for sure don't bother changing the 6X4. The stock JAN Philips 6X4WA is the best of the 5 I tried. | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush Interestingly, changing from my Herron VTSP-1/166 to a Lamm LL2.1 made a big difference, and not because the Lamm itself is quieter because it isn't. Could it be something with input impedance? | |
| Anyone compare Herron VTSP-3a and Lamm L2.1 Deluxe? Just to follow up, I got the Lamm and it's ridiculous how much better my system, which I thought sounded pretty great before, sounds. Spacially and tonally just great. And bass! Finally. Thanks for everyone's help! | |
| Anyone compare Herron VTSP-3a and Lamm L2.1 Deluxe? Love Herron, the sound and the man, but I'm mostly wondering whether tube rectification in the Lamm may give me a more textured, tactile sound... if that makes sense. My audiophile lingo-speak is lacking. | |
| shibata or microline, pls respond ONLY if you specifically have tried both. I've had both and I always seem to prefer the shibata. I like the presentation better. The shibata will be a little less friendly to surface noise in my experience. | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush dhcod, It would take a severely defective tube to cause a 25% decrease in sound quality. That would completely depend on what a person enjoys in their listening and their associated equipment. Maybe I was being a bit hyperbolic but I just wasn't e... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush FYI, When I had my VTPH-2a I noticed no difference in noise between the lowest noise new stock tubes and NOS telefunen 12ax7s and Mazda 12 AT7s. I had the version with the 2 12ax7s and 3 12AT7s. I loved this unit and compared it to a few others th... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush I have used super low noise new stock tubes from Kevin at Upscale. I got a 10-20% improvement in noise and a -25% penalty in sound quality from the NOS smooth plate Telefunken 12ax7s and the Brimar 13D5s that I prefer. Lots of tradeoffs in this ho... |
