Johnsonwu, what do you think of these Clarity TC caps in my power supply replacing the 470 uf electrolytic small caps that you sad were good. Those stock caps cost like $3 each? Surely they are nothing special?I know you know quite a bit about ele...

Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7
My rca tubes are a mix of the 40's and 50's. 6sn7's from the 50's? I am pretty sure the 6080 and 0d3 is from the 40's.

Abruce,Perhaps it would be a draw? Perhaps both are as good as it gets and it will come down to preferences? I do know the CAST cap upgrade mentioned above made my Dude all it could be. I am in Southerm, MN if we wanted to compare.....

Yes I have and I did find they made a difference. I had Andy at Vintage Tube Services supply me with strong nos rca's for the 6080 and od3. Nice inprovement for me. I also use a good strong nos RCA 6sn7 from Andy.Well worth the investment. I keep ...

Dgarretson,Thanks for the heads up on that TC Clarity cap. I need these values,270 uf. And 470 uf. The TC only has 220 and 430 uf. That seems to far off?

Preamps waste of money?
Dracule1,Not defensive at all. Just responding to your post. I am just saying for some it is a waste of money and for some not. I acknowledge we all have different wants and needs in the sound and presentation of our music. I am sure some would pr... 
Preamps waste of money?
It is a waste of money for you and some with sound preferences like you. That simple really. I must have my great active tube preamp to make music my ears and mind enjoy fully. I would be wasting my money on the rest of my stereo system without th... 
Selling dispute. Please comment.
This thread blows my mind. Is there any hope for mankind? No kidding, is this actually being debated! All of this about a manual and wether it is a copy, color, has a coffee stain, torn corner on one page and perhaps folded in the middle.....Nothi... 
Preamps waste of money?
My experience is the polar opposite of yours. I find an active preamp to be the heart of a good system. Any and all attempts to use a passive or volume control on the amp or source have come up way short in my experience.In my experience to not ha...
