| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes What's the difference between your 6SN7BE and a 6SN7-SE? https://www.vivatubes.com/new-psvane-6sn7-se-tennis-ball-vacuum-tube/ | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes It sounds like you've found the perfect tube, Ray. If only you could become a beta tester for those WE's. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Soundstage width and height were pretty equal. Soundstage depth went to the Linlai’s. @rocray Interesting findings. One of the attributes I love about the Ken Rad VT-231 is its 3D image. It presents music from the front of the speakers all the... | |
| Led Zeppelin 11 @audioguy85 This is a worthwhile thread, I'm glad you started it. We're having some good-natured fun. Led Zep 11, we know what you meant, nothing mean-spirited was directed at you. I'm sure you've seen some real nasty comments on Audiogon, that'... | |
| Led Zeppelin 11 Who are you, clearthinker? A former troublemaker who has returned with a new handle? 🥴 @rlawry , some good tips, thanks. I've been all digital for a few years and am returning to vinyl. | |
| Led Zeppelin 11 I was able to find pressings better than hot stampers. The LZII is a sore spot for me as I paid big bucks for a hot stamper after Tom saying it was nearly impossible to find a RL copy in good condition which I then debunked when I bought a nice ... | |
| Led Zeppelin 11 @audioguy85 It should be written as Led Zep II not 11. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray Great to hear how you're enjoying these tubes in your system. Can you compare the sound to other tubes used in your preamp? I know this may take some auditory memory. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @aldnorab It's always something in this HiFi hobby. Like being excited and waiting in anticipation of your new tubes breaking in, and an unrelated tube failure happens. Maybe Linlai will expand their production, they haven't been in business ve... | |
| Power cable upgrade or sideways move? I can't speak to the Transparent PC, but I did not like the JPS digital cable. The filtering became a choke point, limiting dynamics and imaging. Use a power conditioner or isolation transformer if you want to clean incoming power, cables should p... | |
| Led Zeppelin 11 I see that Better Records hot stampers have suffered from the same price escalation as with equipment. Yeah, all those old records sitting in basements, attics, at garage sales, vintage shops have suffered greatly from supply chain issues and t... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Thanks @decooney . I have many NOS 12AU7s bought throughout the years, but these days the term NOS isn’t what it used to be. I haven’t liked the Russian 9-pins that I’ve tried so with Psvane becoming the leader in premium tubes, I may give them a... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I don't want to derail the thread, but have a question. I noticed Linlai doesn't make any small signal tubes. Has anybody tried 9-pin tubes from Psvane, specifically 12AU7 or 6922's? Prices are high so I wouldn't want to buy without a recommenda... | |
| Led Zeppelin 11 Scratched out numbers or codes are not uncommon in the golden days of record pressing. It might be due to a revision in the matrix, as with early Kate Bush where Harvest was bought out by EMI, but there was EMI America and EMI UK each with differe... | |
| Well mastered Compact Disks @kefas I know you're talking CDs but Carmen's albums sound outstanding on Qobuz. Check out the lack of compression. https://dr.loudness-war.info/?artist=Carmen+Gomes&album= |
