| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice Dylanfan...Lots of great advice, and as always, Al has suggested a good idea in trying the different taps on the amp. The consensus is that the room is the problem area in reproducing good sound, but I still say first run your system in a near-fie... | |

| Tesla Tubes Rsa, Mullard tubes and Telefunken are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Mullard are warm, smooth, with a classic tube sound. Telefunken are more detailed and open.Both are expensive premium tubes and are a risk to purchase without knowing their so... | |
