| Tube rolling in Cayin 17A I will be trying a quad of early 70's Tesla E88CC tubes from Tubemonger, in the 17A. These come highly recommended. Will report in after awhile with them... | |
| Tube rolling in Cayin A-88T Audiolverb..Thanks for your insight.Soniqmike... Sorry that you may have to sell it..though I understand your point here. Another read of a thread somewhere mentioned that the EH tubes were not as good as stock.. and I always found the EH tubes ve... | |

| Usher 6371 or 6381? Coffee table blocks woofer? Yes....due to the rear port, you will likely have bass boom so close to the wall. I experimented placing the Ushers in many different positions. To really get the best from them you want to be away from the wall. In my room, I needed at least 27" ... | |
| Usher 6371 or 6381? Coffee table blocks woofer? Newbee makes a good point regarding the way the two speakers will respond in-room.Having owned both the 6381 and now the 6371's..I found that my room was better suited for the 71's.The 81 is a very good speaker, but requires a fairly large room to... | |
| KT-88's better than EH ... Thanks guys for all the nice info and recommendations. When I first posted this question re: KT-88's...I was using a Cary CAD 50MkII, but now using a Cayin A-88T/KT-88 tubes. From what I understand, Cayin uses the Shuguang KT-88. and they have the... | |
| DH Labs Revelations or other options?? I had and liked the RS Silver IC's and also tried and liked the Audio Art IC-3 which I feel are better than the RS Audios, especially the bass and mids. Id also recommend the IC-3's at their price..they are excellent..which BTW is DH labs designed... | |
| Anyone else seeing Anomalies w. Rega Apollo? I bought mine just over 3 weeks ago. Played flawlessly without a hic-cup. The sound is unbelievable for the price I agree.Ill likely regret that I just sold it only to raise cash. I will likely have to spend much more to find its sonic equal I sup... | |
| Tubes for Manley Stingray My Stingray had the warm sounding Ei 6BQ5/EL-84 tubes...I was very happy with them. Some folks like the Mullard which are also warmer sounding..but VERY expensive. An octet of them will run you near $2K. The other nice tube is the Tungsram old pro... | |
| Van den Hul Frog on a VPI JMW 12.5 tonearm? I know that many a VDH Frog has been attached to the JMW arms with excellent results. As Beemer can attest to above. Technically, the Frogs high Static complicance mates very well with the JMW Uni arm. Sonically, this VDH is a middle of the road p... | |
| Bad idea? Budget int. tube amp with Maggie 1.6's? Hi Philjolet,Yes, the stingray with its 5 ohm impedence out mates with the 4 ohm Maggie. The Manley does very well dynamically. I had one on my Usher 6371's and could be living quite nicely with it now if not for that dreaded upgrade bug!I wish I ... | |
| Bad idea? Budget int. tube amp with Maggie 1.6's? My local dealer set up Maggie 1.6's with a Manley Stingray in his used equipment room, and the sound was incredible. I would not have thought that 50 Watts UL would have done so well. I had owned the 1.6's twice previously and tried several tube a... | |
| Best Integrated for the Money Manley Stingray will do the job for you. It will power the Aerial's and some hard to drive speakers to satisfying levels and do it with class. Those who have owned it will attest to its prowess. Lush mids, punchy tight bass.Its 50W El84 power outp... | |
| Mullard CV4004 Hi Masimong,As a former owner of the PL2, may I suggest a few tubes options that made this amp sing. I did try the Mullard CV-4004 Ca. 1980's and found them rather boring so to speak. No real advantage over the stock 12AX7.After speaking with a fe... | |
