| 6922 Amperex PQ White label... D or O-getter? Holland or Hicksville? I don't think the 7308 is mil spec. It's heater is rated at 7V while the 6922, 6DJ8 is 6.3 volts. | |
| High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect @aseaman007, My information came from a conversation with Rick Schultz. The magnetic field is constant as long as there is power feeding the MC-0.5. And it travels through all connected conductors, even back to the service panel via the neutral (r... | |
| Favorite Linear power supply I'm using a Swagman Labs LPS. Great build quality. Torroidal transformer, low ripple current.http://www.swagmanlab.com/Linear-Power-Supplies | |
| 6922 Amperex PQ White label... D or O-getter? Holland or Hicksville? I've tried the 6922/E88CC PQ from both Holland and US. As far as I could tell, both had the liquid and rich midrange that this tube is known for. But, the 7308 Amperex PQ from Holland has outstanding dynamics with the most liquid and warm mids. T... | |
| High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect Wow, so much for the 30 day return policy. 2hrs a day lets say.... Dangg. That’s alot of days. LolThe MC-0.5 is constantly breaking in since AC is continuously flowing from your service panel into the MC.And it’s best to leave the power conditione... | |
| din to rca phono For a turntable or other device? You need to be specific about which brand and model. The DIN plug has different orientations; eg, standard, reversed, right angle. | |

| Tube Rolling Time Suggest you start your rolling journey with the input tubes (small signal tubes). The input gain stage has the most influence on sonics. Next, the driver aka phase inverter tubes, have some influence on the sound. Rolling the rectifier tube can ha... | |
| Changing approach operating tube based system in current telecommuting environment Tube amps don't like to be turned on and off multiple times during the day.I don't think your amp runs in Class A so the wear on the tubes would be minimal. | |
| Tube amplifier bias current question... Typically bias should remain relatively steady. It will fluctuate due changes to line voltage. ie, listening daytime vs. late at night. Since your amp was serviced, I think there would be some drift due to break-in of the power tubes, resistors, a... | |
| Different Tubes and general purpose? You have very low hours on your amp. To increase the burnin process you can leave the amp powered up while you are home. Never leave a tube amp unattended. You only need to have the amp turned on, no components, no music, but the amp must be conne... | |
