| Help with Caps if you can Hello 883. I would take the parts connextion's recommendations straight to the bank. Chris knows the preamp's voice inside out and backwards. That said: I am a big fan of the V-caps, I use them for couplers in my Vac monos as well as the crossover... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Gang. Simon, Yes, the Bendex 6106 takes about twice the time of any other indirect rectifiers to power up. It also requires a way more run in time than any of the others to sound it's best. Regarding the Gz37, I completely agree with Fiddler he... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Sburke. Thanks for the imfo in the your last post. It sounds very much like a bendex 6106 whereby it takes a long time to energize. | |
| Better el84 pp monoblock avalon or vtl tt? Hi Mitch. Interesting question and I will surely be monitoring your thread. The VTL TT's are one of the best sounding amplifiers I have ever heard when given the appropriate speaker to drive.I haven't heard the Audio Valve. To be candid, I have ne... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Gang: Yes indeed, quiet 6sn7's are hard to find and all of that family of tubes tend to be somewhat prone to microphonics. Herbies tube dampeners are a blessing here as well as isolation. The Metal base GZ-34/5ar4 is without doubt the finest so... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hi Gang. Just returned from a little holiday to catch up on the thread. HOLY TAMOLLY! | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody WcMustang. Yes sir. We are more than certain Mick knows what works and what doesn't. However.... A new production 5ar4 is electrically the equivalent of: you quessed it... An old nos gz34/5ar4 and the sovtek 5881 is the electrical equivalent of a ... | |

| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? Dayton Wright's revisited. Hey Rasdc.I am currently restoring a pair of xg-8's. Perfect???? nothing is perfect but the Wright's were miles ahead of anything in their day. Unfortunately at that time,very few amplifiers were capable of driving them ... | |
| EL34 vs. KT66 output tubes Trela and S23chang.As you both well now, there are terrific examples of each of these tube topologies. Saying one tube is better than the other is like saying "a ferrari is better than a benz". Like Trela says "Some preferr vanilla to chocolate". ... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Sorlowski. The tung sol 5881 is too pricey only because it is a good sounding tube when used as an output tube in push/pull configured audio amp as well as being very popular with the guitar amp guys where it's in big demand. It's really not that ... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Kpinneo. Further to the above thread.... I was reviewing what I had written and clicked the submit button by accident. Anyway.... The re-wiring for mine is a little more straight forward considering I only need to unsolder and re-route two wires. ... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hi Gang. Raytheprinter.... The kenrad black vt-231 really has a flavour all of it's own with perhaps the most dynamic bass energy of all of the 6sn7 types, albeit a little on the tubby side when compared to most of the others.Above the bottom 2 oc... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Edmund. The ASL 1009's are fabulous amps for the money. | |
| What is the life of a Grado Wood cartridge? Dopogue.A little off topic here but Holy Tamoli man! You still have an original sonus blue that didn't suffer from stylus fatique? That is truly a revelation to me sir. The sonus blue was my all time favorite mm cartridge with a high frequency rep... |
