Cryo valves- any experince?
I have come to the conclusion that which tube you run is quite dependent on what equipment you run. I have a number of output tubes that I have kept through the years. Keeping the same source and speakers: What was blah in one setup sounded quite ... 
Self bias tube integrated or power amp suggestions
Rockadanny,I hope Consonance makes it as well. I find the appearance of their gear appealing to the eye, and with a little tube rolling find the sound pleasing as well. Unfortunately I'm not one of these folks here at agon that can afford to keep ... 
Self bias tube integrated or power amp suggestions
Rockadanny, Don't have a clue if you have an affiliation to Consonance agon or what not. Seem lots of you folks have an affiliation to something here, so I hope I didn't offend you in some way.Guess my point was that before I had Trelja reassuring... 
Self bias tube integrated or power amp suggestions
Trelja:Huh? So your are no longer the distributor for Consonance, and a dealer is also closing out his stuff? That is not a strong vote of approval for any high end company. Would you say? I guess I am stuck with mine then just when I was about to... 
Service my Belles
Well, sad to write this. But this is a forum that I assume allows the good and bad experiences?I struggled for quite sometime to arrange repair of my Belles pre. I was not pleased with Dave Belles's lack of return contact and it made me wonder if ...

KT66 anyone?

Quicksilver and 6SN7 pre
Well now that I think about it, perhaps the 12AU7 is a bit dark sounding in general. I have matched a CJ PV12 with SS, and also a VAC CLA-1 with SS. Both tamed the issues I had with SS. However paired with my EL34 amps they were a bit dark soundin... 
Tung-Sol, 6550, old vs new
I'm using 3 hole, 3 halo, gray plate. I think in general how the tube sounds varies based on the amp and associated equipment. I remember that the Sovtek KT88's sounded great in a different amp I had, but now they are blah compared to the Tung-Sol... 
5U4 tubes

5U4 tubes

PS Audio Duet problem?
I don't own a TV or anything else that needs a PC upgrade. So the PC will stay packed until I sell the Duet. If i ever do :) 
PS Audio Duet problem?
I finally got the one stubborn outlet to work. It took a bit of gentle persuasion :) Since last night when I first posted I have been playing a stereo receiver thought it. So I guess now I wait a few days. I'm confident that I will be pleased with...
