| What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options? I've now also tried PSVANE's 6sn7 BE (blue globes). These are somewhere near their middle of the range of tubes by price and offering. They sound pretty darn good. A good quality inexpensive (relatively) option. | |
| Made in USA I'm running US Japan China Britain France I have two pieces from China that are superb and use high end parts from many western nations. I drive American, but without any axe to grind. Where are our pens, watches, jeans, shirts, stapler... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @chmaiwald , I wonder if the 800 has the same design issue as the R8--Skunkie Designs found that it was missing a resistor on the bias pots. If the pot wiper gets sticky or otherwise malfunctions, it could let full bias hit the tube and blow it. ... | |
| Volti Vittora with Sub & Amp Crossover - Thoughts? @dagda, Any update on how they sound? I love the Volti speakers I've heard and I'd love to hear yours. I bet you'll love them. | |
| What is this thing? "Full Modulator Triode" @viridian , Thank you!!!! I find this subject very interesting. I appreciate your knowledge. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i The 805 version of the 800 is now out of stock-no longer available at China HiFi and the wait on Amazon ticked up to 4-5 weeks. I'm not surprised. | |
| What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options? These tubes could be my new favorite and make me abandon NOS. Thank you everyone! | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Nice, big old thread! I love it. I just received a pair of the Linlai Elite 6sn7s. I'm one hour into them; they sound spectacular. I was pretty shocked so I landed here. If these never got better from break-in I'd still be happy. What a tube! | |
| What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options? As a follow-up, I just received a pair of Linlai E-6SN7s. Right out of the box (oh, they come in a beautiful box) they sound really good. I'm very curious to see if they break in. They sound particularly smooth and warm with just a right amount ... | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? Well Charles, thanks to you and Ralph Karsten I learned that information! By the way, what loudspeakers do you use with your 300B SET? | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? @charles1dad , thank you for clarifying! That is very true from what I hear and I certainly defer to your knowledge. One other thing that I didn't disclose - My 300B amp is NOT a 300B set. It does have a small amount of negative feedback in the... | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? @audiovicker , I had a similar issue. My 300B wasn't cutting it and I have high efficiency speakers (about 100dB) in a good size room (16 wide, 24 long, 10' high). I tried push pull (Primaluna and Carver Crimson) to decent effect, yet I still mis... | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh @cymivka , I'm sorry to hear of your frustration. This must be especially annoying given the quality of your system. I agree with the folks who say try adding a pair of good subwoofers. I prefer REL. Keep us posted. It's always nice to see o... | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass In 1991, I had Cerwin Vegas. They could rip the roof off and keep going. So much fun. Funny thing is, they really weren't that bad of a hifi speaker. They weren't great either but they were all around serviceable. |
