| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 Always a pleasure. BTW to clarify, I had mentioned that I started with the TWL "8G" but also inserted a "7G" (which is the latest/biggest version Pete is offering)...both are certainly more than needed,as his "10G" would be plenty...(I just can't ... | |
| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 Sorry for the delay folks, I've had my system in slight dis-array and didn't have the time to swap out the power cords as I had mentioned, but finally got to it today. The best way to differentiate these 2 cables (CRL copper and TWL "7G") is the w... | |
| Conrad Johnson dedicated fansite Thanks for the site tip, I just signed up! | |
| Tube Pre/Monoblock Recommendation See if you can find one of the later editions of the CAT pre-amp and run it into a pair of Manley Neo-Classic 250's...Soundstage, depth, imaging, body, texture...you name it. Magical EL-34 midrange and tremendous, effortless power...Your jazz will... | |
| Replacing 6550s with KT 88s I can be a little more "frequency specific" in as much as I also use CJ amps, (Premier 12's) but I bi-amp my Apogee Duetta Signatures with them on the woofer panels...these handle low bass up to lower midrange and when I swapped out the SED Winged... | |
| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 Hi Bill, Thanks for your advice on the power cable. Yes, I know you had mentioned Andy from VTS, and as I said I had used him before too. I don't want to hijack this thread (I wish we could pm or somehow talk...) but I am a big believer in afterma... | |
| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 Well, I did my "default move" which is to call Andy at Vintage Tube Services again...he had helped me equip my trusty Sonic Frontiers Line 3 Custom Edition with some great sounding tubes so I figured I'd trust him again. I too have RCA 6sn7's comi... | |
| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 My Dude is about a month running in my system now...theres a really lotto like but tube rolling will be soon... Im assuming the 6sn7s are all i should be looking for...the others just keep in as per Paul? Thanks | |
| Cardas vs. Harmonic Technology Can't say I've compared them so this reply may be worthless but I've been using both H/T I/C's and spkr cables for over 10 years and tried various other I/C's now and then but I've always been pleased with both the Pro-9 and pro-11 spkr cables...t... | |
| Is it save to convert XLR to RCA? Excellent! How's that Jensen xformer working out for you? My Dude should be shipping to me soon...I've got butterflies...I actually built a larger, beefier stand to accommodate it too....(My Dude also has the 5 @ 6sn7's and the heavy duty transfor... | |
| Is it save to convert XLR to RCA? Did you get your buzz solved?? Was hoping to talk about Dude some more too. | |
| who makes the best kt88 tube I'll be watching this thread with much interest...so far I'm using "plain ole" Electro Harmonix which are doing a very nice job on my bass amps (they replaced SED Winged C 6550's).Thanks | |
| VTL ST 150 They have always been helpful and responsive to me ...albeit I always introduced myself [at the time] as being "a current owner of...'one of their products'". I still like their amps though never tried their pre's. Just .02... | |
| Tube amps with Apogee Scintilla's your thoughts ? Wolcott if you can find a pair. Excellent with Apogees. Manley Neo classic 500's or maybe their Neo 250's...might do a good job. Try to stay with tubes unless you absolutely can't find any that will work. I run Apogee Duetta Sigs (which are much m... | |
| Room Treatments Your question begs an even bigger question which is: "Can peaceful coexistence be maintained between a well treated listening room ...and a wife?".Of course there are exceptions but the true answer is most likely (99.999 pure copper % of the time)... |
