| Balanced Audio Technology MK-30 tubes. Alternative to Sovtek 6922 Brad I would say that's a good idea nothing worse than an intractable problem that's tough to track down. Good luck finding a new preamp! | |
| Balanced Audio Technology MK-30 tubes. Alternative to Sovtek 6922 Brad in your vid the crackling stops after about 30 seconds, is it there when you turn the preamp on and fades away? Or does it keep coming back? | |
| Thorens TD 124 or TD 125 MK. Holy crap that's a pretty insane haul! All awesome stuff of the two tables the 124 is iconic and the 125 very good. The Marantz stuff is also iconic and highly collectable. | |
| What tubes do I need? Just take some closeup photos of the original tubes and upload a link to the pics here someone maybe able to tell. Make sure you get detail of the insides of the tubes. | |

| Balanced Audio Technology MK-30 tubes. Alternative to Sovtek 6922 Good luck Brad I hope the new tubes work out well for you! | |
| Balanced Audio Technology MK-30 tubes. Alternative to Sovtek 6922 I will say on the subject of Gold Lion 6922's I retubed my preamp with them and found them to be too bright. I love the Gold Lion KT77 but with the 6922's I ended up taking one pair out. My preamp uses 6 tubes, I rolled in a pair of Matsushita 7d... | |
| Balanced Audio Technology MK-30 tubes. Alternative to Sovtek 6922 If you just want to retube fairly inexpensively something like Electro-Harmonix gold pins would work.
