| Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6 @wolf_garcia I can't comment on JJ KT-77s but in my system the Gold Lion KT-77s crushed JJ 6ca7 fat bottles, Psvane Phillips replica EL34's, Svetlana, EH EL34's as well as Tung-Sol reproduction EL34's. I can say they are great tubes and worth tryi... | |

| Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6 I've tried Tung-Sol EL34's but not the 7581a. Not that familiar with that tube. | |
| RE: Suggestions for Tidal Streaming problems caused by Internet Connection Problems @hgeifman I am using an Auralic Aries Mini but I don't think the device is at fault all my own files stream perfectly fine. | |
| Let's talk power cords @willemj " In the UK a cable seller was recently convicted of consumer fraud. " Care to elaborate on this? What sort of fraud? I find it hard to believe that the fraud had anything to do with a customer not being able to hear an improvement so ... | |
| Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6 Genalex Gold Lion KT77 is the best sounding EL34 variant I've heard I highly recommend it. I've been using them in my PP stereo amp for several years now. Pretty affordable ranging from $4-50 per tube I would highly recommend spending a bit more f... | |
| RE: Suggestions for Tidal Streaming problems caused by Internet Connection Problems @hgeifman After Tidal buffering problems started to occur I actually scrapped my old wireless gateway and bought a new state of the art model. Internet overall improved immediately but Tidal buffering continued though as stated sometimes better so... | |

It seems to ebb and flow and lately has been much better. One trick I've learned if you get buffering is restarting the track will ... | |

Tons of good not terribly expensive tubes in the 6DJ8, 12ax7, 6SN7, and various other categories mostly preamp/driver tubes. You ... | |
| Casta Speakers I have not but I have to say they look very interesting I am starting to love horn speakers myself. | |
| Capitol Audio Fest @charles1dad I hope you do decide to attend last year was my first and first ever audio show and I loved it, this year was fun also as you've read! Perhaps next year some of us could meet up and put some names with some faces. Also @gsm18439 I c... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest Interesting I was really disappointed in the c-j room and surprised considering the level of gear in there but I just found it dull and lifeless sounding. And on the Zu room yes the room was gigantic but I thought they really did a nice job fillin... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest @larryi I hear you on room conditions which I should have factored in a bit more. And a custom Deja Vu horn-speaker would be of interest to me if the boss approved. Sorry I missed Charney and DC DYI would have loved to hear more horns. I agree w... | |
| No frills balanced ss integrated amp? Perhaps an LFD integrated? They are very well regarded and seem as no frills as can be and a number of units on here in your price range. Never hear them myself but I am generally a fan of British integrateds. | |
| Capitol Audio Fest Sal and Larry great to hear from you guys you both have more experienced ears than mine. And I think my ears perhaps prefer a warmer slightly rolled off sound as I loved the A23 speakers but found the Channel D room a tad bright. And thanks for t... |
