Leben CS 600 tube rolling
Hi Facten, In the owners manual, it lists all the other tubes that the CS600 can use. The options extend beyond the EL34 and 6L6 and include the KT 66, 77 and 88. I have corresponded with the importer who echoed those options. My goal is to se... 
Leben CS 600 tube rolling
I have seen that table as well. I am not sure what to do with the plate voltage KT 66 and 88 which are listed as up or down.  Is it try and see how it sounds?  
Siemens EL 34
I do not have  pics; but they are the EL34 sold by RAM tubes. Does that shed any light? BTW have you heard the Tesla EL34 from the 90's?  
Siemens EL 34
So I have two quads of Mullards; one is amperex and the other true Mullards. My only point of comparison was the Groove Tube EL 34 . the Mullards are much richer sounding.  I remember when I first used the Amperex Mullards, my son commented that ...

Best upgrade for SGC servers; LPS vs network switch
any thoughts of isolating the server and modem from the other components?  And more importantly, if that is not an option whats the most effective work around?  
Best upgrade for SGC servers; LPS vs network switch
Clearly many different routes to try. Has anyone tried the Farad LPS with the SGC?

Is the optical package dry or thin sounding?  I have seen some posts suggesting such.  
Sugden LA-4 review....the missing link
I just heard the line stage hooked up to a Leben integrated tube amp. Wow is all I can say.  Brought some real weight to the music and the imaging was out of this world.  Never thought a solid state preamp would sound so good.  
Van Alstine pre-amplifiers
Have you any preliminary impressions regarding its sonic character?  
Who Offers a Highly Musical Preamp using a 6SN7 tube and a remote?
