| Preamp Tubes for KR AUDIO 18 BSI Hello Deramg. The two outside tubes are the 5687's. The 5687 is a dual triode developed for use in computers. The original nos tung-sol black plate 5687 is "far and away" the best sounding tube of that type. You may also substitute the 5687 with a... | |
| Tannoy Westminster Royal HE Hello Chris. I have heard of it, although never seen one nor heard one. It's probably only available for export,and like the Westminster,most all of them are exported to the Far East. Their doesn,t seem to be many Tannoy enthusiast's here at Audio... | |
| Tannoy Westminster Royal HE Hello Dazzdax. To quote an age old adage: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Yes,I use a pair of these big "ugly" speakers! While I have heard the big Dunlavy's on a few occasions, any meaningful comparative study would be rather ambiguous an... | |

| 12AT7 Tubes Hello Chad. The 6922 will not work at all, and the 5751 will probably operate in the circuit but I sincerely doubt it would sound right. There are many appropriate electrical subs for the 12at7 such as the 6060,6201,6679,7728 or nos euro tubes lik... | |

I have not seen nor heard the beveridge's in years but if memory serves I would concurr with Brian's "polite" sounding labell.I Still use a pair of servo-drive... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite. Amen! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Sandro. You have another 200 to 300 hours of run in time before the supratek really finds it's stride. You must try the premium 7308's you are using in the ARC for the phono stage in supratek. It's an interesting comparison though with the ARC,... | |
| Vandersteen 1C with 845 S.E.T. Hello AsonicYouth. Do not discount the drive of an 845 powered amplifier. Unless your room is overly large, I honestly can't see a problem here. Every 845 based amplifier I have heard makes for beautiful music. |
