| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre Hi Braro. Regarding the voice of the EH6sn7: Yes, it does seem like the general conscensus over in the Supratek thread however, I do not concur with the analogy and just don't buy into it. I can guarantee you that many other supratek owners do not... | |
| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre Hi Braro. A very good suggestion by Spencer. What gain tube[6sn7] are you currently using? Many flavours of the 6sn7 can sound a little lean in the chenin, particularly in the upper bass/lower midband area. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Houstonreef. Sounds like your having a bit of a time with your syrah. Is it it a 60 cycle hum or is it a buzz that seems to piggy back the signal? Do you get it on the phono stage as well? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Frank. Yup, change it out and let us know the result. Cheers david | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Frankiealverti. Hmmmmmm.... If the symptom is common to both rectifiers I would think the problem is elsewhere in the preamp. The phono stage tubes in the Syrah are battery biased,perhaps the batteries need to be replaced and hopefully they may... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Houstonreef. OK,things are a little more clear now. As I mentioned in my last post the 6bg6 is an electrical equivalent to a 6L6 however it requires a top hat connection to the contact on top of the tube to power it up. Could very well be a fac... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Frankiealverti. Houston...We have a problem!!!! Are you certain the tubes are 7029's. I have never heard of a 7029 designation. Perhaps you are confusing it with the 7027 or the 7027a. If it is a 7027.... Yup, the 7027 is electrically similiar to ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Houstonreef. The Ge 6sn7gtb.... if it is the sidegetter version, it is the proverbial "over achiever" if there ever was one in the 6sn7 family. A great score for paltry sum these can be bought for and they fly way below the radar relative to the c... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Frankiealverti. Certainly, the nos sylvania 6F6gt will perform as well or better than any other 6f6 type for regulation duty in the Supratek's providing they test strong and are closely matched for gm. I am still using a pr of them in my Syr... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Houstonreef. Congrats on your new found supratek. The linestage tubes will be the first pair of the larger [octal based] tubes behind the smaller phono tubes. The original line stage tubes supplied with the Syrah were the Sovtek 6sn7's. What... | |
| kronzilla who listened? Hello. I would completely agree with Prcinka here. KR amps truly are world class amplifiers and really are something special. To be candid here,and for the life of me... I have always been a bit perplexed as to why the company's product line hasn'... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi John. Firstly, congrats on your new addition: amazing eh. Amandarae...a very good description regarding the duty of the rectifier and regulation. John, are you experiencing this image wander artifact with the phono stage only.... or is it notic... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Undertow. A very good analogy and well said. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Colin. When used for regulation duty [rather than used as an output tube] the 350b, 6f6g or any of the other tube choices should last longer than you will! That said: the rectifier will have a far greater influence on the sound of the amplifier... | |
| Info on Snell C-lll Speakers Hi Opal. If you like your E-111's..... Updating the crossovers in your E-111's is can yield some major gains in both resolution and reach at the frequency extremes as well as coherency and focus. Replace the cheap electrolytic caps on the crossove... |
