| Amperex tubes questions Hello. Are you sure that the 6DJ8 orange label is an "A" getter and not an "A" frame?What else does the 7308 read on the tube? A 7308 labeled "USN-CEP" (military labeling) is the same as a 7308 labeled "PQ"I believe that the 6DJ8 has a slightly hi... | |
| I need a pre-amp with a mc amp. Dave,The only decent tube pre-amp with phono stage that I've really enjoyed was a CAT SL-1 Signature MK 2...however, I would recommend getting the MK 3 version and up. Price for a used MK 3 is about $2400 USD (less for a MK 2).I had a Shelter mc c... | |
| Best pre-amp with built-in phono stage under 10K? Having never auditioned the Supratek line of tubed pre-amps, there seems to be quite a following and the user reviews are spectacular.

| Pre-amp upgrade: need help, Please - Bent Supratek I have owned two Sonic Frontiers pre-amps...I would recommend both. They are line-level tube units and both are within your price range for a used one.The SF Line 1 and the SFL-2 (an older model) both have balanced and unbalanced ins/outs and use ... | |

| Review: ZYX UNIverse-X-SB Cartridge Always a pleasure going through your posts Doug. Kudos to Nakatsuka san and Mehran for their passion for music! | |
| Calling all ZYX aficionados Airy 3 is the best cartridge that I've ever owned...I'm now very curious about the UNIverse.The Airy 3 comes in low output and high output. The 0.48 mV (high output) will do just fine with your current setup. Depending on the effective mass of you... | |
| Load ohm settings for cartridges The Shelter 501 instructions recommends 100 ohms but of course you can switch and experiment with any ohm value with no possibility of system damage. I currently have my pre/phono section set at just under 1000 ohms with my 501 but it all depends ... | |
| Amperex PQ 6922 vs Amperex PQ 7308 TVAD. Joe's mention of the description "shield" might refer to the "PQ" logo. It's a shield with the letters PQ and two stars inside. OR, he could be refering to the internal construction of the tube whether it's shielded or not shielded.I have so... | |
| tube tester question Your best bet for all the answers is a good reference book about tubes. I recommend "Tube Lore" by Sibley Ludwell. | |
