| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Brian and Jazzdude. The early 6L6G[shoulder shaped bottle] are very good and quite a bit better than the later GB's or GC'c types in my syrah. Brian.....Email me off line regarding the WE 350b's. Cheers David. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century My tube compliment mirrors slowhands exactly, except for the regulation tubes. I use western electric 350b's in place of the tung sol 5881. | |
| Jadis Defy 7 vs Antique Sound Lab Hurricane Hello Lisbon. Pretty tough call. The Jadis is one fabulous sounding amplifier. If it is burning out cathode resistors perodically, I think it would be time to retube if you are getting any run away bias. Definitely more economical to retube than t... | |

| Do I turn off my tubed components during burn-in? Kursula.... Thank you for your kind words!You are the first person to ever call me a genius. Obviously, mathematics wasn't one of your stronger subjects.A couple of dozen preamps? Would that be 24?, where did you hear that!I have owned 10 or so "p... | |
| Do I turn off my tubed components during burn-in? Hello Meech. Just turning on your preamp is simply a waste of electricity if you want to run in your vacuum tubes. Your preamp uses small signal tubes that traditionally have a life expectancy of 3000-4000 hours[that is years of listening time]. I... | |

| People who are Irrationally Afraid of tube amps Hi Gang. For those poor souls that suffer with Popatube-aphobia! Calm down... its OK. There is nothing to be ashamed of.Try 5cc's of valium about an hour before turning on the system.Hell...I have a mild phobia about big solid state amps.... I'm n... | |
| Electronic crossover recommendations Top Shelf crossovers......Bryston 10b is very good for the money and on par with the Krell.Neither of those compare to the original Mark Levinson LNP-1 and for the cost of a new car... the FM acoustics is in another league again. | |
