| Which has richer tonality, the Holland e188cc or the USA 7308? @petg60 , I agree to go for the white label.I've been following @pmboyd 's quest for a specific sonic signature. I like the 7308 Amperex PQ/Philips SQ Holland large O-getter for it's transparency, warm liquid mids, deep low-end, and smooth extende... | |
| Which has richer tonality, the Holland e188cc or the USA 7308? Oh yeah, I love tube rolling. I may be as discriminating as you are.Did you ever try the USN7308 (or 6922) Amperex offered to you? | |
| Which has richer tonality, the Holland e188cc or the USA 7308? Still in search of the perfect tube?I like the liquid midrange on the Holland. I think it comes down to your taste in sonics. | |

| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues JEA is responsible for everything from the incoming side of my breaker box.Upkeep and any work required unless I was somehow to deliberately damage something.At least the gas company is still responsible for all lines outside and inside. Homeowner... | |
