Revisiting Tube Recommendations for Cayin TA-30
Did he mention the 6n3ce? Anyone try them in a Cayin TA30 if so what are you biasing too. How do they sound and what tubes for the front end? Thank you

Mikirob thank you for all the information, a lot of information! Jim got back to me and said he has no idea if they would be compatible. So maybe someone part of the audiogon group will have some experience with the tubes. Thank you

Mikirob what did you bias them to? And is there a specific brand? I got up with Jim and he said he would get back to me in a week or so. Sounds like exactly what I am after. Appreciate the input. Thank you

In the ax slots try the Sylvania 5751 3 mica's with either the bugle boys or RFT's in the au slots. EL34's for single ended winged c's well for all use winged c's are a good choice unless you want to spend some bucks for Mullards NOS or RFT's........

Thank you for the Nordost thoughts moving up the line. Unfortunately I am not near a place to gather a demo kit so I am and have been using the Audiogon for everything. Any other speaker cable ideas? Thank you

What do you want them to do? What do you need? Cables other then the cables used inside the speakers will change what the designer had intended or wants them to sound like. So to your ears what don't you like about the cables you are using? Here i...
