| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? I almost bought a Rhumba , looks like a fine pre. I actually called them in my last search for a pre. They picked up right away and answered my questions honestly I believe. They seem like a good outfit. I know some of their designs auto bias... | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? I ran into this when searching for an E180F tube. Many varieties, more than you would imagine actually and I checked with my Amp's mfg. and he said 7788 was fine . So I always do that. I reached out to Mike at Quicksilver a while back just ... | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? On that particular list the middle column should say Acceptable Sub , not direct sub. Direct sub narrows it down to 5418 6189. Those are the same tube but ruggedized | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? Personally I treat this book and it's addendum like they are Gospel. If it's not listed in that middle column I would advise against, do so at your own peril. I used that guide and other tester documentation long before I got a tube tester. ... | |

| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? I just stick with the exact tube type the component came with or the mfg. says is safe. The are not the same bias. There is no direct sub for a 12sn7 according to my Hickok manuals. There are many great 12au7 still out there as NOS and sev... | |
| Aurender N200 I am really looking forward to this. I went from playing PC ripped content on a thumb drive through my OPPO, to the Vault 2i, and finally this. I have two DACs to play with , one Non OS with tubes and the other can play DSD. Being able to st... | |
| Aurender N200 Thanks again Charles . Kids are adults , bills are low right now for me, work pays for car and everything associated with it plus phone. Hearing is still good, now is the time to do it ! Never been a better time actually. I'm hoping th... | |
| Aurender N200 Actually the input sensitivity is about 2.4 v. Seems like my last preamp with 12dB put the volume in the sweet spot for average to a little above average listening. Im guessing the gain will be around the same. Not quite sure but it won't be... | |
| Aurender N200 I am confidentt it will be. Now I know what to expect from Toolshed . The amp exceeded my expectations for sound quality and obviously build quality. It's a special piece for sure. | |
| Aurender N200 I'm currently set up in a roughly 13 x 15 room. It not very big. That will hopefully change in near future to a slightly larger space. I'm using Forte IV but eventually want a horn loaded bass cabinet like a LaScala or Vittori. The Forte IV... | |
| Aurender N200 Thanks Charles. I have been holding off for too long. I sold the Zesto to fund the Toolshed Preamp. The Music Room gave me such a good deal I couldn't pass it up, I traded the Zesto plus some cash on the Aurender. My sale of some displaced... | |
| Aurender N200 I have been waiting for streamers to mature and really be a high quality source for a while…. I figured how much longer am I going to wait? My system has has a major renovation and it’s worthy of a great source . All of these devices have their... | |
| Aurender N200 Thanks , it's shipping tomorrow.... can't wait to put it in . Nice feature is the 2.5 drive bays . I'm picking up a drive for it this weekend . | |
| Aurender N200 That’s good to hear. I like the fact that it has bays that the end user can install SSD s in. I’m sure I will have to get one and move my music there. The Vault is a great way to get into streaming but I’m hoping this is a much better devi... |
