| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Ongkaku. Not a chance! The CV345 is "not" a direct substitute for a We 350b.... not even remotely close . It's American equivalent would be a 12E1. Maximum DC voltage for the screens is 300VDC. The cv 345 is basically an octal based 807. The... | |
| Power cable for Supratek Syrah? Hi Jond. Your better off swapping out the 6l6 metals first as they sound just dreadful in the Syrah.A far bigger improvement than any aftermarket cable will give you with the syrah. Cheers | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Gang. Lately,I have had quite a few emails regarding the 6F6 tube that I used for regulation duty in the Supratek.Some history: There were many versions of the 6f6 [a power pentode] that date back to the 1920's. They were predominately used as ... | |
| New speaker "break-in" music? Hi Uncontop. Great choice of speakers sir, you will love them. Nice right out of the box, but they will need all of 200 hours of run in time to come into their own. Enjoy! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Gang. Perhaps I should chime in here regarding the 6J5. The 6j5 is basically 1/2 of a 6sn7, whereby the 6sn7 is a dual triode and has two triode sections and the 6j5 has just one triode section.In the cortese,they both do the same job.For those... | |
| Dual Mono Tube Pre-Amps Dr. Klimo's merlin preamp from Germany. Not that well known here in North America but certainly a definitive statement nonetheless regarding "true" dual mono preamps. Sonically speaking it's top shelf and surely competition to the finest preamps a... | |

| Krell KSA 50 vs. todays ss amps? Perhaps, the sweetest sounding amplifier in Krell line up at that time along with the KSA 80. To be candid here, I haven't listened to any of their current series of amplifiers although at that particular time, the more powerful krells couldn't ma... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Jphii. hehehehe.....Congrats on finding a pair of the 350b's, a good price to boot. Regarding budgets for audio.... I hear you. Not to worry though,believe me.... investing in WE 350b's will make many traditional investments like real estate, stoc... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey slowhand. Congratulations! | |
| Looking for an acoustic guitar recording.. Great thread. Any recording by Tony Rice as well as David Grisman.Gotta have Leo Kottke in the collection. I can't forget about John Prine either. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Yeah, some war.... I've got to hand it to Fatparrot for taking this dim witt to task and telling like it is. His last response is bang on the bullseye, blunt, to the point and very well written I might add. Well said Fatparrot. | |
| Tube Amp Suggestions Didactically. Goals Smoals.... will you give your head a shake! Have you ever heard a Wavac amplifier? No... I didn't think so.Have you ever heard the Cary 805'? Obviously not! Yes sir, your ATI amp is a very nice sounding solid state amplifier...... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Gang. Yeah, the WE 350b's are certainly "crazy money" for use as regulatory duty... however... nothing else even comes close in my rig. Hey Bryan...glad to hear you gave the bendix the run-in time it requires, it is imperative with most any new... | |
| SETs vs. Push/Pull Hi Lak. I can certainly understand your apprehension here. I am a giant fan of any of Stewart tylers response series speakers and have set up more than a few of them for myself, family and friends.I personally use a pair of the response 4's in one... |
