| Preamp Deal of the Century Tubegroover, I am excited about your discovery of the 6F6g and much of your experience with tube rolling seems to mirror mine with the exception of the Ken Rads. But I think your comment about taste and synergy is often grossly overlooked. I perso... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite, my 350 B's are WE's but I suspect the NU's are exactly the same tube. You might want to ask in the Tube Asylum. I am sure someone there can give you a definitive answer.Grannyring, I know that Bryan isn't as big of a fan as I am of the 6L6... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite, I have several Mullard/Amperex 5AR4 vintages (so technically not GZ34, but the equivalent) and they all sound the same. Very consistent from tube to tube.I have tried the stock 5Z4GT, the GZ 32, the CV5745/GZ33, Bendix 6106 and the Mullard... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Asa, so let me get this straight.A guy goes to sell his Chevy - so he should buy a Buick before a Cadillac and the Cadillac before a Mercedes and the Mercedes before a Porsche 911 Turbo...so, "his mind, can go way "deeper" through progressively re... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Asa, after reading your post three times I'm still not sure what your point is.Grannyring, trust Bwhite and many others who have rolled numerous tubes through the Supratek, the WE 350b's are excellent, along with the Mullard rectifier and the 6SN7... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Asa, I will happily disagree with your advice to Granny. I hate to look back on all the time I wasted listening to inferior tubes, pc's, isolation footers, etc. I wish I had arrived at my current combination of gear and ancillary products in my sy... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I would echo much of what Bwhite said.I love the WE 350B's. Far and away the best regulator in my opinion. I like the RCA Metal 6L6's next and then the GEC KT66's.Both the Ken Rad and the 1952 Syls are excellent 6SN7 variants.Mullard 5AR4 (GZ34) i... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey Khrys, just give it a rest.Everyone is now fully aware of your sentiments, so why not just move on. You are contributing nothing here.You remind me of MikeCH in the whole Newform controversy. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Waltersalas, extremely well-said.And beyond that, I am not sure why anyone here is wasting anymore time with Khrys. He obviously just wants to hear himself talk even if no one else does. | |
| Best available Tube Dac around 3k Do a search here and at AA for Audio Note DACs. You will be glad you did. | |
| Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory? Question for Allan and ZH270 owners.What are the mods for the Berning that are referred to in this thread?And I think I recall that tube rolling with NOS tubes can produce terrific results with the 270. Could someone elaborate.The reason I asked t... | |
| Lazarus hybrid amps...anyone hear them? Jsujo, which Lazarus is it?Mine was the MK II hybrid, 200 wpc (unbridged), tons of bass slam (with the appropriate tubes of course). Amperex Orange Globes were great, Mullards were warmer, but the bass was also a little sloppy with the Mullards.If... | |
| Lazarus hybrid amps...anyone hear them? I own a Lazarus Mk II 200w hybrid amp.To this day, I believe it is a great amp. The only reason I am not currently listening to it is that I screwed it up trying to do some simple mods to it. It was my first foray into modding anything. I tried ch... | |
| Best Digital Amps Oxia, you and I are in complete agreement. I have purchased most of my gear factory-direct online for two reasons. The first being that I agree with your assessment that factory-direct companies are better bang-for-the-buck.Secondly, I live on Mau... | |
| Best Digital Amps Oxia, I think you are missing the point. Virtually every product can be improved. Case in point; your eAr amp. Acoustic Reality has improved their circuit or so they say.I guess Peter has been fiddling around with his own design and improved it.If... |
