| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey Larry. Your post is a class act, no apology needed IMO. Great to hear your supratek is starting to come around. It gets even better after a few hundred hours of run-in. | |
| Owning too many speakers Interesting. HeHeHe. I hope you guys are moving all those "other" speakers out of the room when evaluting each pair. | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hi Cello,Mustang,Larry. Curious as to what the general concensus was for the DTH gain tube of choice in the grange. cheers david. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey Indigorose. Congrats on the new Supratek....and a GRANGE no less. Simon, there are many applicable alternative subs for the 6L6 in the regulator position. IMHO the tung sol 5881 as well as the rest of 6L6 family are grossly overpriced/performa... | |
| What tubes are in your Cary 805c? Hey Dennis. The 805c's are world class amplifiers and I seriously regret selling my pair. I am not familiar with the voice of the current 845's as mine came with the older production chineese 845's that I thought were really competent when compare... | |
| Most neutral, high-resolution 12AU7? Gtthrush. Great choice... The siemens Halske 5814 is about as good as it gets in the 12au7 family. | |
| Quad Listener Contemplating Horns Hi Gang.Didn't mean to end my post as I accidently pushed the submit while attemting to preview my post. Anyway, about 6 years ago I acquired a 100 year old school house in the country with 4 large classrooms and a large gymnasium. The main classr... | |
| Quad Listener Contemplating Horns Hi Whart. Interesting thread. WOW.... from E-stats to Hi efficient horns? After reading a few posts here I thought it only fitting on my behalf to post here considering I do use a highly effecient hybrid horn speaker[Tannoy Westminsters] as well a... | |
| Myth: low-power high-efficiency Hi Gang, Interesting thread here and many good observations. When one contemplates the many factors involved in the equation here it can be a little overwhelming indeed. I would hazard to guess that the room size would probably dictate ones priori... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Tom. I am not at all surprised.Like the majority of oil filled capacitors, the mundorf supremes take a couple of hundred hours to fully open up. In particular, the bass frequencies takes the most time. If you want to speed up the process... run... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hi Slowhand. I am not sure how to respond here as my syrah has always been dead quiet unless I happened to roll in a microphonic tube. | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hi Larry. I am not at all surprised that the Grange is sensitive to microphonics when using the meshplate examples of these directly heated triodes.Most of my experience with these DHT triodes is from repairing vintage amplifiers that used them.Th... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hi Larry. A tough call on the choice of either the 76 or the 6sn7. The 6sn7 uses an octal base whereby the 76 uses a UX type base so there is no substitution option for comparison. The 76 is also a single triode whereby the 6sn7 is a dual triode. ... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hi Larry, I read your last post just after I posted mine. I have to go to a hockey game and will get back a little later. | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Hey Larry, Congrats on the grange,I'm very jealous. I am still contemplating ordering one myself, as I have been a big fan of DHT amplification for years. My experience with the 45,2a3,300b,845 triodes etc is that they all seem to possess a certai... |
