| Old Legendary tubes vs New Kids on the block Amperex/Siemens/Tele vs Psvane/TAD/Shugaung Pinched - slight tightness in the liquidity, slightly dry and constricted. Glassy - an artificial shininessYou're bang on using cymbals and basslines as parameters. Think about the size of the stage, the overall color or lack, air and transparency... | |
| Old Legendary tubes vs New Kids on the block Amperex/Siemens/Tele vs Psvane/TAD/Shugaung The black plate RCA is sweet and detailed but a little pinched in the mids and glassy in the upper mids.Look at GE triple mica black plate 5751 if you like the RCA sound. | |
| Old Legendary tubes vs New Kids on the block Amperex/Siemens/Tele vs Psvane/TAD/Shugaung I did not recommend the T series only the black 12AX7LS (from Grant Fidelity).

They are the best. Unless, you use Shuguang Black 12AX7LS and allow 20 hours burn-in. They beat out Teles in my amps. | |
| Should the Tone Arm be Removed When Installing Cartridge? During my LP12 days, it was anathema to stress the tonearm bearings. Along with the many set up rituals with the Sondek/Ittok, this was one of the most enforced dealers' rules. | |
| Has anyone seen this...? Agreed on one line. 8 gauge. I like Steve. I don't understand untidy people. | |
| Dry Lightning Strike Have you checked the RCA/XLR selector switches on the rear? Are you sure it’s not the preamp? |
