| KT120 transformer failures Hey WolfI can't help you answer your query but maybe the gents over at Conrad-Johnson can. The CJ Classic Sixty SE Amplifier utilizes KT120 tubes throughout. Maybe they saw the current draw issue you speak of and overcame it. From stuff I've read ... | |
| New inexpensive Next Best Tweak I've seen this done as well but I'm too chicken to try and implement this on the insides of me gear. I've seen rope caulk, blue tack, and locktite put in along the sides of an amp and into and up the corners. I've seen the same rope caulk put at t... | |
| Can 12AT7 be a substitute for 12AU7 tubes? I've done the swap of 12AT7 in place of 12AU7 and with the tube gear I had the difference was pronounced. I definitely had higher gain and didn't have to turn the volume knob up on my preamp as I did when I had the 12AU7 tubes. The sound also was ... | |

| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping Hey WolfIn order to get the KT120 into the Jolida 502P did any special modifications have to be done to it so that KT120s could be used in place of the 6550s? Was it just drop 'em in run the EZ-Bias? Also where did you get the KT120 tubes? The mor... | |

| Does the Quality of the USB cable matter? Hi OzzyWhat cable cooker did you use on the DH Labs USB cable? I didn't think they existed. I broke in my Tripp Lite USB cable by just putting a CD on repeat on my old laptop and connecting the USB cable to my DAC. I let it play for a week non-stop. | |
