| Amp: Can I mix tubes from different manufacturers? From talking to an experienced tube guru he advised me that you could mix power tubes from different manufacturers as long as you have the same tube set-up in both monoblocks. They should be identical on each side. Say One KR KT-88 and One GE 6550... | |

Hi Timothyd11I have experiences with the Niles AXP-1 as well as the Niles DSP-1 and IME I have never experienced any sound degradation or coloration at all.I used the Niles AXP-1 when I had a preamp with limited inputs but I had multiple sources.I... | |
| best vintage stereo receiver My favorite of the vintage stereo receivers or integrated is the Accuphase E-202. Great build quality and all around flexibility. I've used it to power Ohm Walsh 2 speakers, KEF Q300 speakers and KEF 103/3 speakers with no issues whatsoever. | |

| Songs With Best Ending I don't know if this is the best ending but it is one of my favorites. Check out the song Gold Digging Whore by Steel Panther.It always brings a smile to my face and is unique to me I can't think of a song where they spell out the song title to en... | |

| Accuphase E 202 rebuild - worth it? For me it depends on what you want to do with the Accuphase E202. If you want to sell it after the repair you won't make much profit. I checked some prices of the E202's that have sold recently and the range was $450 to $721 before shipping. The $... | |
| IsoTek and Audio Prism System Enhancers CD Hi SunnyjimI've used the IsoTek system enhancer disc for a couple of years now. It has been part of the arsenal of items I've used to burn-in ICs, SCs, preamps, amplifiers etc. I also use it in the warm up process of my gear. I'll first turn on th... | |

| Prima Luna vs jolida I hear you 2out2sea. I've done my share of buying and trying and re-selling at a loss. Sometimes it is the only way to go if you want to demo gear. Are there any Jolida dealers near your or an audio society where other members have various amps fo... | |
| Do we still need 6550 or KT88 tubes? Hi Xti16I contacted leisure-audio about the Shuguang KT-120s and they quoted me a price of $199/quad. I haven't ordered them because I just don't have the funds and honestly am up to my eyeballs in all sorts of KT-88, 6550 and Tung Sol KT-120 tube... | |
| Do we still need 6550 or KT88 tubes? I believe the 6550 and KT88 tubes are still needed even with the Tung Sol KT-120 or now the KT-150 tubes. When I started out with my Jolida JD-502P I initially got the amp because it could handle the KT-120s and there weren't any other manufacture... | |
| Prima Luna vs jolida Hi 2out2seaI think you may need to try different tubes with that Jolida 502B. I agree with Donjr that you should ask Jolida for their input as well.Here are my findings with tube rolling with my Jolida 502P which I think may be comparable to the 5... | |
| Prima Luna vs jolida Hi 2out2seaDoes the Tung Sol KT-120 factor into your decision? The Jolida 502P can run the Tung Sol KT-120 tubes with no problems whatsoever. I'm not sure if the Prima Luna will. I've run the Tung SOl KT-120s in my Jolida 502P and so have other me... |
