@bdp24 , yes you're correct. I thought he went on to include MF. 
Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp?
I’m using the Tung-Sol black glass round plates in my Audio Note pre. They are so pleasing to the senses. Some good info...http://www.dehavillandhifi.com/6sn7_vt.htm

+1. Hard to believe digital vs. analogue is still going on.

Any excuse for some people to talk down the NYT. And Fremer is clueless? I don't think so. He's the first to admit his speakers are uber expensive, but he has the means and music is his livelihood and passion.

Does anybody remember Hans Fantel, the home audio writer from the NYT and Stereo Review? Always looked forward to his articles. 
Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp?
Good preamp  recommendations.I've been tube rolling 6SN7's for years and there are tubes with prodigious bass, such as NOS Tung Sol and RCA. Low-end response also depends on the signature and synergy of your components, and the room itself.

Unusual(?) spade connection
I had an amp where I positioned one prong through the hole on the post. No worries, just don’t overtighten.Since you have the biwire, might as well hook them up and have a listen. Often I can’t hear a difference between a biwire setup and a single...

High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect
I'm using Devore Gibbon Super 8 with an Atma-sphere S-30 amp. These speakers have a wide and deep soundstage on their own. Adding Sylvania tubes and the MC-0.5's gives me a holographic image. 
High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect
@aseaman007 ... Nice. I like the tight well defined bass. Are you using any traditional power conditioning?My system is very revealing, all tubes. With the EquiCore 1800 plus 3 MC-0.5's I'm very pleased the sound of my current setup.  
High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect
