| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes After 60 hours of preconditioning I could not stand the silence anymore, and decided to give the RCA 6AS7G tube set a try. So I put the MA-1 amps from Standby (yellow) to On (red light). No misbehaviour or arcing so far, having played for three ho... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes Thanks Rushton & Clferrari. I am sure people have tried this before me but there is not much info on the web, since most of the focus has been on the driver tubes. It will be interesting. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Audiokineses LCS Dreammakers - They do something special, have never experienced it before. The soundscape becomes much more three dimensional, embodied, fleshed out, poignant; the sound is almost visually present, and this effect covers most of t... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes Burning in a set of 28 RCA 6AS7Gs right now - following Atma-sphere advice, 72 hours on Standby, before turning the amps On. I hope they work OK, and give the same sonic improvement that I have heard other places, changing from stock Chinese/Russi... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes Hi Acresverde - I have bought a RM-1 tube tester from Beck Electronics in Germany, custom setup so it can test 6AS7G (among others). I have not received it yet, so we shall see, does it do the job. My impression, living with 28 of these tubes for ... | |
| Pickup SRA - starting from a 500x microscope Thank you Sunnyboy1956. I do agree with you (and with Rpeluso) that too much adjustment can become on obsession. On the other hand, a bit of it is a needed. Since you have an Atlas - where do you set the arm - up, down, or just parallel? | |
| Pickup SRA - starting from a 500x microscope Thanks for advice! I dislike it, however, when an honest question is turned into a stupid statement. Rpeluso writes as if I've left my ears behind - I have not. Going the visual way is a "nightmare". Well perhaps not though I trust my ears mainly.... | |
| Pickup SRA - starting from a 500x microscope It is fairly easy to mark the angle between the cantilever and the record. If the stylus had been 90 degrees on the cantilever, I would have no problem using this method. But this is what we don't know - right? Estimating the stylus angle vis-a-vi... | |
| Dynaudio Evidence Platinum or Consequence UE O holter- I use to own the Consequence a long time ago. I am not concerned about getting enough power to them. Well, I would be. I think enough good power is a key to get the best from these speakers. Just my 2 kroner. | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes I read somewhere that testing the 6AS7G is one thing - another is how it actually performs. (And - how it actually performs in an Atma amp). I had the amps to repair recently and the repair man Hans Kise tested while I looked, finding that about 4... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes 84 tubes only - you are on a diet I suppose? | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes Thanks Rushton! A pleasure. Besides buying some US tubes to try out, I am investing in a MR-1 tube tester from Helmut Beck, Germany - custom setup so it takes all the tube types in my system. I have no less than 87 tubes alltogether in the system ... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes I found some comment in earlier threads.06-12-11: Entrope"As the owner of Atma-sphere M60 mkII.3's I find the the RCA 6AS7 available and not to pricey. They sound much better than the stock Russian tubes. In speaking with Ralph Karsten he indicate... | |
| Atma-sphere amps best power tubes Rushton - Yes it seems that Ralph is now more positive to using American 6as7g tubes, at least in recent amp versions (I have 3.2). In another thread he wrote about some customers reporting good results. Preconditioning is important. There will pr... | |
| Dynaudio Evidence Platinum or Consequence UE One thing about the Consequence - they need lots of power to really come alive. I had a Krell FPB600 and it wasn't enough (!). I think this is the case with the UE also. |
