Apr 30, 2003	Replacing Sovtek 6922 for NOS Yes, you have a whole lot of room for improvement over your Sovtek (one of the worst I've heard when comparing to some of the premium tubes that Mrwigglewm mentions). You are in luck that there are many excellent alternatives that were manufacture...
Apr 30, 2003	High End Myth Glossary. Marakenetz- You are obviously using the wrong .45 magnum for those flies. Try this .45 Magnum It also has the added bonus of not damaging the walls and furniture, and keeping your neighbors alive and well, as well as keeping your mug shot off the ...
Apr 29, 2003	Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get I was staying in a house in the country north of Sintra near Mafra. I can't recall of the name of the village though. I was there for two weeks and traveled a bit in that area with many trips to Lisbon and Sintra and along the coast, and as far in...
Apr 29, 2003	Review: Klipsch La Scala Speaker Hey Bob, wait'll you hear those horns with the Close-N'-Play turntable....talk about heaven!!IMO, Bob's advice regarding the LaScala's themselves is excellent by the way. Obviously we have very different opinions on amplification. I can't say I've...
Apr 29, 2003	Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get AH! Now I think I get it...you are living IN Portugal!?? If so, what a beautiful country you live in! I enjoyed visiting there back in 1999. I'm sorry that I did not realize that (if it is true) in answering your questions about buying tubes from ...
Apr 29, 2003	Review: Klipsch La Scala Speaker I don't know if your shoes would fit on my feet Purepwr, but I get why you thought his statement sounded arrogant. I think he was actually making fun of himself, but you took it to be making fun of you at the same time. Sometimes humor is complete...
Apr 29, 2003	Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get Yep, I think we're on the same page too Detlof! Thanks for the clarification and no need to apologize...no offense was taken in the first place. Cheers!
Apr 29, 2003	Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get I'd certainly defer to Detlof or anyone with extensive personal experience with the specific tube type you are considering. I don't think you complcate matters at all Detlof; I was not trying to recommend the JJ, but merely suggested that if someo...
Apr 28, 2003	Review: Klipsch La Scala Speaker Purepwr - I don't think his Highness was being arrogant about his suggestions at all. He was offering up his personal observations/opinion based upon his experience. You posted your review and system here on a forum site and one would assume that ...

Apr 28, 2003	Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get Yes, if you are buying a set of more than one tube for a pre-amp it would be a good idea to ask the dealer for a matched set of tubes. Yes, you would request that specifically. There are good tube dealers in other countries and far and near. Some ...
Apr 28, 2003	Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get Most dealers will sell you a "matched" set of tubes if you request that (I think that is what you are referring to by "balanced"). Some charge a small fee to match tubes, and most have good equipment to accomplish that. Not a silly question. The m...
Apr 28, 2003	Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get Yes, ECC802S are simply 12AU7's that JJ Tesla designed specifically for Audio applications. They are in the same family and should work in any audio application that requires the 12AU7 tube. See them at the bottom of the 12AU7 list at the Tube Sto...
Apr 28, 2003	Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get In principal I'd agree with Newbee's advice. However, if you are new to tubes it may be difficult to know and describe potential differences without actually rolling tubes (swapping out one for the other in sucession for the sake of comparing the ...
