| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET It is very helpful and comforting to know you can send an email with a question and get an answer. Tube gear is certainly not for the faint hearted. It’s not difficult but it’s good to have a bit of knowledge, or in my case, access to someone who ... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Thanks markustheaimnut and ghdprentice. I have looked at the Takatsuki tubes and may give them a try next. of course the failed tube right out of the gate happens to the newbie! Lol. Good to get it out of the way and now I know what to listen for... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Btw, so wonderful to have that dead silence again. Awesome | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Thanks Aric and thanks for your patience with a newbie! I will give them a clean up like you suggested and try them again. If the static continues I’ll let you know and we can swap them out. I am going to purchase a few new pairs of various tubes ... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Had my first hiccup tube amp experience this week. Had a bit of static with slight pops creep in during startup, which diminished but didn’t disappear during play. Changed 4 of 6;tubes during the week and no change. Replaced the last 2, Sylvania c... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Thank you decooney. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I purchased a pair of these tubes and look forward to comparing them to the Hytron tubes I have in there now. Linlai seems to get good reviews. I hope that these have good longevity, considering the price, which I don't mind paying if they a quali... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Thanks for the link. I already discovered boomy and liquid are different than I thought. 👍 | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET I wish I could better describe the WE’s. They have the “it” factor. Their realism leaves me with a strange feeling. Almost awe in a way on well recorded material. On the Wood Brothers album, it seems as if you are in the recording room with them. ... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET They sound remarkably good. Here is my very pedestrian initial review of them. I only have Gold Lion 300b’s to compare to, so take this for what it is, a very inexperienced review. They vocals are remarkable. The Wood Brothers, Ways Not To Lose, ... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Awesome. Thanks Aric. | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET The day has come! The new WE 300b tubes arrived and have been installed. Obviously, too early to tell anything yet. The one thing that does stand out in the first 10 minutes is that they don’t seem rough. The Gold Lions definitely take a few minut... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I do hesitate before leaving the house for more than a couple of minutes with the amp on. My amp is not near anything but even if a tube blows, I want to be able to shut down quickly. When the power goes on, I’m home for awhile. | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Shrinking audiophile market jimrobie? I think you’ll find the opposite if you talk to dealers here in the US. Tube gear sales has increased considerably and I’m pretty sure audiophiles aren’t worried too much about energy efficient systems. I buy ... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I have recently acquired my first 300b and it burns hotter than my push pull el34. But, it’s colder now and don’t really notice. I’ll right back in summer! |
