| Best String Cheese Incident CD to start with..... Great idea Rlwainwright! I just downloaded the 11.17.2000 show at The Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA. My first time really listening to this band. They are amazing. A little bit more mellow than your average jam band. This show has great sound quality ... | |
| Time for new tubes.. which ones? I own a TAD-150 and have tried various brands of NOS and used vintage 12AX7, 5751, 12AT7 and 12AU7s from the US & Europe. Right now I am using RCA blackplate 12AU7s. These tubes have excellent bass characteristics and do everything else very w... | |
| Best speaker for small 12x14 room 50 WPC tube amp I run a pair of modified (DeanG crossovers) Heresys with my EL84 SET amp. I have them in corners of a 13.5' x 13' room on 13" stands and towed in at 45 degrees. They sound great and you don't even know they are playing. Imaging and soundstaging is... | |
| Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions I grew up listening to Rock with SS equipment. Now I listen to Rock & Jazz about 50% each with tube equipment. I don't think I will ever go back. I have two systems that have been mentioned in this thread. The first is a Single Ended Magnavox ... | |
| Favorite H H Scott Tube Integrated Amplifier JBG: I have used Craig at NosValves to fix my Fisher 400. He does excellent work at a reasonable price. I can highly recommend him. He usually has a long waiting list which speaks highly of how much in demand he really is.I would be interested to ... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase I made a deal with my wife when we got married. You don't touch my stereo equipment and I won't wear your clothes. It's worked out well so far. She has no idea how much equipment I have or it's cost. Plus I do all the household finances and she gi... | |
| Las Vegas Hi Y'all. I am in the Cenntenial Hills area and I am into tube audio equipment. If any one needs some tubes tested I would be happy to do it. My musical preference is rock and jazz but I am willing to give anything a try. Hopefully we can get a cl... | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio I agree with most of the previous posts - some of the suggestions are outright classics. Here are a couple of laid back and mellow recordings for late night that no one has mentioned yet:Ahmad Jamal - Cross country Tour (recorded live in night clu... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp I use a Mullard 12AX7 in the A7 socket and a pair of GE 12AU7 in the U7 sockets. My TAD-60 came with some unknown U.S.A. made 5814A's and a Sovtek 12AX7WXT+. Changing out the Sovtek to a Mullard is a big improvement as one would expect. Also the v... | |
| Is the Eico HF 81 really that good? Once again JA's measurements call into question the hearing & judgement of his reviewers.I go the opposite way on this one. Once again whatever JA is meausuring has little correlation to how an amp will sound.After all, the BPC (mostly silver ... | |
| Tube Rolling for TAD-150 Ecruz: The 5751s are much better than the stock tubes in every way. Comparing the 5751s to the Tele AX7s I would say that the bass is tighter and more defined with the 5751s. They both put out sweet mids and highs. I'd probably give the edge to th... | |
| Tube Rolling for TAD-150 I rolled the stock tubes out of the 150 with a set of Tele 12ax7s and as one might expect they were a huge improvement over the stock at7s. The at7s seemed to put all the instruments in the middle. It was all depth with very little width. The Tele... | |
| Tube testers for 6922, 12ax7, etc, etc, A B&K 747 is a good tester for the money. I beleive it's based on Hickock's expired patents. The good thing is that it's very easy to calibrate and does all the test you mention. The 707 is the tube version of this tester. These are on Ebay al... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp Jeff, Thanks for the reply. I am glad that you got the KT88s running. They are my favotite so far for this amp. I had never thought of adjusting the feedback before biasing the tubes. I used to keep my feedback at 10 o'clock but lately I have it a... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp Meerp1: regarding the bias pots I can't get KT88s or 6550s to go much below 525. I noticed Paul changed the bias instructions on his website for the TAD-60. He used to want you to start at 200 (like the EL34) but that is not possible on my amp. I ... |
