Review: Tyler Acoustics D3 Speaker
Lost count of how many hours I have on the D3s now, but expect closer to 200 hours. The speakers are presenting well across the frequency range - the bass, which seems to take longer to break-in, has definitely caught up to the mid's and hi's. I l...

Review: Tyler Acoustics D3 Speaker
Jp - still working them in, haven't hit the 200 hour mark yet but am pleased with their musicality. Find them to be like my other Tylers - enjoyable amd non-fatiguing to listen to. To me, Tyler's are better than their price point. Will post more a... 
12ax7's to roll
I liked the Sylvanias in my Magnum, but swapped the 12ax7s out for Tungsol 5751s and the 12 au7s with RFTs (similiar in sound to RCAs to my ears) overall a little warmer sound than the Sylvania's . Here's a link to Brent Jesse's 12ax7 &12 au7 ...

Primaluna and Rogue
Donjr when they shipped me my Magnum all of the signal tubes were Sylvania's , might want to just give them a call and ask 
Primaluna and Rogue
use gloves when handling any of the tubes , large or small The Magnum should have the KT90 powertubes which with the larger power supply allows for the unit generate 90 wpc - these are tubes that get biased . The small tubes are all signal stage t... 
Primaluna and Rogue
Donjr - the names should be on the glass - brands such as JJ, EH (electron harmonis) , sovtek are new production, those like RCA, Sylvania, Telefunken are NOS - Mullards and Tungsols can be either - here's a couple of links - TubeDepot sells both ... 
Review: Tyler Acoustics D3 Speaker
Purchased a pair of D3s which arrived a few weeks ago - also have Ty's Linbrook System 2s and Taylo 7Us. As with my other Tylers - excellent build quality - fit, finish and components Swapped the D3s into my main system - driving them with Ayon Sp... 
Primaluna and Rogue
Donjr - any idea what brand 12 au7's and ax7's are coming along with your Magnum?
