| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? @vthokie83 haha! I totally get what you mean. Huge amount of value from Aric's gear. Interesting notes re: chinese tubes. I know that Shuguang is basically gone since they had a plant fire or something, and Linlai folks left PSVane due to a dispu... | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? @vthokie83 Congratulations! How are you liking them so far? I just finished trying the Linlai e-6sn7 tubes vs my sylvania 6sn7GTs and I actually wound up preferring the Linlais, believe it or not. In my system, they just sounded more open and air... | |
| SUT help Okay so maybe time to get back on the rails here... What exactly is the point here? None of this is doing any service to my original question, and seems more to be a debate about who is 'right.' The theoretical gear needed (or not needed) to 'pr... | |
| SUT help @tomic601 That is quite true! I am not of the camp that aspires to absolute purity above all else. Somewhere in the middle is where I like to land, so I’m not quite as concerned about being ’distortion free.’ I mean, most of my gear is tube gear ... | |
| SUT help Seems I poked the beehive with this topic 😅. I appreciate all the varying perspectives here. Has given me things to consider. | |
| SUT help @bobsdevices the man himself! Thank's for your insight. | |
| SUT help @billstevenson Agree. I don't want this to turn into a debate on whether one is necessary or sounds different or not, since I'm a pretty firm believer in having to use my own ears to determine that. Even in my own system, what is perceptable to me... | |
| SUT help @lewm That's a very good point! | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? @vthokie83 Thanks for the heads up. I'd never come across his website before. I'll check it out! | |
| SUT help @theflattire interesting! I'm definitely considering the Umami (though I also thought about the Etsuro Cobalt) but I struggle spending $4k (or $6k) on a cart that will have to be replaced every couple years due to wear. The trade in is a 30% disc... | |
| SUT help @theflattire Thanks for sharing. Pretty simple and clean inside. @billstevenson Bob's is definitely an option too. Looks like full refunds accepted minus 10% restock fee for 2 weeks. Could be wise to start there since if I can't really discern an... | |
| SUT help @theflattire home&scitek on ebay? Interesting. Looks like they just use a kit basically. | |
| SUT help @theflattire I think the Sound Tradition Live MC-10 uses HM-7s, but not totally sure. I can't find any info on it as far as if they are still made. The only pre-made SUTs I can find with HM-7 are Swissonor and they're something like $3300, which i... | |
| SUT help Oh - two others that have been mentioned to me in the past: 1. Sound Tradition Live MC-10 (but I don't believe these are still being made?) 2. Sculpture A mini nano | |
| SUT help @lewm Thank you for that - nice and simple! Makes total sense. The only reason I've wanted to try one out is to see if it will improve soundstage width/depth. I love the Modwright stage and the MC input is very nice, but I've never tried a SUT, so... |
