Help with tube specs
Isochronism,I love the 45 also. I had Fi 2a3 monos that could use the 45 with a rectifier sub but never felt I got the full experience of a true 45 amp. Right now I'm using another 2a3 amp that also can use the 45 tube but use this amp in an activ... 
I heard BAT was sold
Mt,All schools had some good looking girls but Mission Bay had A LOT of them. Must have been due to the proximity of the beach. :-)

Mt & C1,the World is getting smaller...Clairemont High '64.Madison started circa 62 which meant a lot of our graduating class was split up and transferred over there. Dating a girl from Madison meant I got to go to 2 Proms. 
Help with tube specs
Al, thanks so much. I take responsibility for whatever happens but armed with your knowledge it feels pretty safe.Charles, will do. 
Help with tube specs
Al, you are my wish come true. I hoped you would see this thread and respond.Good call on that "one" builders notes.If I find the correct numbers for this amp, and let's say they are close to to 500 plate and 190 cathode, is the tube seeing the 50... 
Tubes going bad???
I think the best way is what Newbee said, have a backup set. I thought when I got my tube tester, that was all I needed. It does help with many things but I also found out that a tube "could" measure good and still sound not so good.It's hard to n... 
Good 61NP replacement tube for NovaPre?
One of my amps uses the 6n1p as driver for a 300b. I found the NOS ones to sound better. Do a search for one that has 6n1p-eb, Voshkod or has the "rocket logo" on it. 
Conrad Johnson Premier 140 6922 tube swapping
I think you might like the Genalex Gold Lion 6922 in your CJ. I use them in my CJ preamps. Get your 6922 first then decide on the 6550's. 
Sota Sapphire arm help?
>>>>How do you match a tonearm to a table that has an armboard for a specific arm?<<<<SOTA's armboards are blank. You order one from them telling them what tonearm you have and they cut out the proper hole at the proper pla... 
? about wadia i70
Wifi should get you 192, cell network probably not. Have you gone into "settings" in Pandora and set it to "high quality"? 
Where would you go after Wilson WP7?
Mreapoe100,Well, he did ask the question, "Hey guys what do I know".From what I can tell:1. He can't read.2. He is weak in the social skills dept.I'm sure much more but 1 minute is all I'm giving it. 
why did my iphone quit working on Wadia idock?
Ejlif,Before you reluctantly update.....at least unplug the Wadia, wait 30 secs, plug it back in and try docking your iPhone again. Start all over again from the unboxing.As a matter of FACT: I bought a Cambridge iD100 dock over a year ago. I put ... 
why did my iphone quit working on Wadia idock?
Unplug the Wadia, turn off the iPhone. Start everything up again (make sure you have all the updates current)....Still not supported? 
cathode-follower tube preamps..
I think you are going to find CF's in most of the tube preamps you go looking for. It's not the spec I would go looking for. fwiw, I have 2 Pass amps (30.5 and 100.5's) and I drive them with Conrad Johnson tube preamps (ART and ACT 2.2) and neithe... 
Any way to reduce pre-amp noise floor?
For NOS the Amperex are my favorite 6922 followed by the Siemens. Supply can only go down and price most likely will keep rising so I'd say get em while you can.I've been using current production Genalex Gold Lion 6922 in my CJ ART and have been v...
