| Tubes for VTL 6.5Series II Preamp I recently replaced RCA cleartops with a pair of NOS Telefunken 12AU7 (ECC82) tubes in my Cary gear. The difference was very substantial with much clearer extension on both ends and wider soundstage. I have tried a few other tubes before the RCA, ... | |
| Valab LCR-1 Mk2 Mk3 I use Clear Day silver RCA now.My cartridges are Audio Technica Art9 and Benz Ruby 2 at 62db and 100 ohm. Both work well with this phono stage. | |
| Valab LCR-1 Mk2 Mk3 I own the KTE LCR-1 MK4 for a month now, purchasing a used one from a fellow Goner jkreider, while my other preamp/phono (Supratek Cortese) was on a repair service. My first impression was good, but not great (great detail and dynamic, black back... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread For the tubes I tried, I would say RCA and Shuguang are warm, Melz as neutral and Sylvania as cool.I purchased mine from a Russian seller on eBay. They are 1980 production with 2 lines of 5 holes in each plates with OTH stamp (OTH was told to mean... | |

| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes How would you compare Melz 1578 and Sylvania 6SN7W metal base? I was going to purchase a pair of 6SN7 tubes for my Supratek Cortese preamp and was considering the Sylvania as the one till Melz discussion here. | |

| Audio Repair in NJ??? I found a local electrician doing audio repair job in Manville, NJ (near Bridgewater). He did repair/return my gear in a day, and charged only an half of his original estimation ($100). A very honest and competent guy!!!! I would recommend to anyo... | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 One other question: I have Shunyata Hydra 6 power conditioner with an old Venon 20A power cord, on which I hook up both DAC (Cary 200ts) and preamp (Audio Valve Eclipse) using Synergistic Research Element Tungsten power cords (15A). If I switch Ve... | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 Thank you for sharing your impression of the Delta NR power cord. You are suggesting Delta NR might be the better performer than Alpha HC, right?Did you have a chance to compare Alpha NR vs. Delta NR by a chance?I don’t think I will go up to Sigma... | |

My current PCs are all 15 amp ones so I am looking for good and reasonably priced 20 amp PC. Based on availability from the Cable Co... |
