| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? It was said that Vintage Tube carefully tests all tubes for microphonics. Testing equipment has no way to do this. The only way is to plug the tube into your component and wait a bit. Tube sellers cannot do this. Hoarders may have the best tube... | |
| Please settle a bet! That CAN give the USA ZERO DRINKING water .! At least we will still have Scotch | |
| Over Tubing it? The phono stage is particularly odd because it runs two 300b tubes as rectifiers. I have a tube preamp with a separate power supply that can use 300b tubes as rectifiers, I haven't tried the 300b yet as I'm using 1616 rectifier tubes cu... | |
| Over Tubing it? Ten of the tubes are in the $1,500-$2,000 each range, and the rest are not cheap either. Sounds like you are running NOS western electric 300b tubes at that price. | |
| Please settle a bet! It's estimated that the US has more untapped oil reserves than any other nation. | |

| Doping your fuse box I'm waiting on someone to come up with audiophile breaker, curious as to benefit. Isoclean makes a complete breaker box. | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... Well tube amps certainly seem to sound different than high current soild state through Heil AMTs and I’ve done videos that easily prove this. Everything was held the same. The Vanessa tracks are within 0.1 dB and the SRV are within 0.5 dB using pi... | |
| Over Tubing it? If it sounds good to you it shouldn’t matter how many tubes are in the chain. I just added a tube dac to my system that already has a tube preamp with a separate power supply that uses two 866a mercury rectifier tubes, it seems to sound better wit... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer If going up in value is the determining factor, then marantz must be better. | |
| Bi-amping The Cable Company sold me bi-amp speaker wires and said this is better than using jumper cables. They didn't cost that much more. Who knows if any of this makes any difference. This can make a big difference on certain speakers and not make... | |
| Is rectifier tube arcing a problem? A dirty tube socket may be your problem. | |
| Is rectifier tube arcing a problem? Where are you buying your tubes from? | |
| Bi-amping Passive bi- amping can be achieved before the amps, given the right speakers. Marchant makes a passive line level crossover for this. | |
| Bi-amping There is a lot of information on active bi-amping apogee speakers, but quite a few people don't like the sound as much as the passive crossover. |
