| Decided to try a SPU cartridge @kennyc what turntable are you going to put the SPU on? Is it a VPI? Sounds like you’ve kinda gone off the deep end picking up the various flavors of SPU. 😉 Plus that FR7... Should be fun experimenting with them all. Also, I’m a little fuzzy wh... | |
| Elekit TU-8600S. Best 300B’s? Excellent question. I'll keep my eye on this thread. However, I encourage you to put the idea of tube-rolling your amp out of your mind for a while. Enjoy that sumbitch the way it is, 'cause it's gonna be awesome. And constantly obsessing about w... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Couple thoughts. 1. I kinda might have been where you are now, about three years ago. I had owned Naim gear, and been satisfied, for a couple of decades plus. BUT, I knew that tube gear would sound better. Not just "different", but better. Better... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Mick responded to my emailed question by citing the worldwide shortage of new production tubes. In answer to my question about whether he thinks they sound particularly good he simply stated they sound about as good as any current production tube... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I have read on the Supratek owner’s thread that Mick is shipping his preamps with these tubes. I think that says something positive about them. I've sent him an email to confirm this and requested his opinion on these tubes. Mark | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Has anyone here compared the Linlai E 6SN7s to the Shuguang WE 6SN7 Plus tubes? Don Sachs was using the Shuguangs for a while and thought very highly of them. I haven't heard either. | |
| Quad 63 ESL buzzing & hissing!! For the benefit of other quad owners I thought I'd post an update here. I talked to Nick yesterday. He is no longer servicing Quads. He's too backlogged with other work and it's nearly impossible to obtain decent panels these days. So... it seems ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century For Supratek owners who are rolling their 6SN7s I'd like to simply draw your attention to the nearby thread on the Linlai E 6SN7 tubes. I haven't tried them but apparently they sound pretty good. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I think that picture is helpful. One thing it seems to show is that this tube shares some characteristics with the well-regarded so-called Shuguang WE 6SN7 plus tubes that were around a couple years ago. They also were constructed with the tube st... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray Good to hear. And @decooney good to hear that you’re evaluating the Psvanes. I’ll be watching thread with interest. This thread is causing my "need to increase my backup supply of tubes" addiction to rear its’ ugly head again. 🤨 I don’t n... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @skypop the chassis for the power supply is the same size as the preamp itself, so about 13.5 inches by 13.5 inches. Roughly. In terms of height, with the rectifier I'm using (large shouldered tube), the power supply is about 10 inches tall. I ha... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray please continue to follow up with posts on this thread describing your experience with these tubes. Especially if you're able to compare them to some of the well regarded vintage tubes. | |
| audible illusions vs supratek, vs holoaudio vs backert My brother owns the Audible Illusions. +1 regarding customer service. He sent his in for a service and they talked him into buying a replacement. Then they sold the one he'd sent in to somebody else and he had to wait a looooooong time before they... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Or the Linlai HiFi 6SN7s that Grant Fidelity is offering? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes And one more question - any a you guys compared these to the Grant Fidelity "Treasure Globes"? |
