| Jays CD2- Mk3 CDT vrs CEC-TL5 CDT Great thread! Always good to know the features in comparison. So, which CD transport has the most realistic sound? Most organic bass, extended highs etc. I had heard (anecdotally, of course) that the CEC TL5 is fuller sounding, but not as dyna... | |
| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Thanks to all! | |
| Re Tubing Audio Research VT200 Hi...your better off with the new old stock tubes - at least for your drivers - 6922 tubes.I had a 200 and I liked the 6550 arc stuff - given the prices of the vintage stuff - but the 6922 tubes really made the amp sing! Changed its character a bi... | |
| Supratek Cortese Phono Tubes Help You can do alot better than Phillips in the phono stage. The Sylvania VT231 are reasonably priced at $100 a pair, the Sylvania WGTA are dynamite at $119 a pair, and the Russian 1578 may be the best tube for 6SN7 ever made at $249 a matched pair.Th... | |
| 12AT7 tube Try the Sylvania gold brand 6201 tubes...smooth, with great bandwidth. Best inner detail that I have heard in a 6201. The valvo is also one of the best...amsks a bit of detail, but among the top three IMHO. | |
| Help with SET amplifier? Don Allen has a cult following and does build some very nice tube gear. | |
| Best preamp for atma sphere m60 under $3000 used? Best preamp is usually no preamp:>Irrespective of the budget, try the Placette passive. The closest to an attenuator without coloring the signal.No relationship to the vendor! | |
| Lack in harmonic richness All good feedback! As a contrarian, and tube guy, I will take a different path. What 12ax7 tubes do you use in your DAC? Perhaps tube rolling to a very harmonically rich tube like the RCA 5751 would provide you with the ambiance that you seek?Good... | |
| Pinched Waist 7062/E180CC The rarity can dictate the price...but these are not in the demand that the pinched waist 7308 tubes command. $50 for NOS is in line...but one could charge as high as $100. Get NOS if you can...the testing out as good usually means a tube that is ... | |
| Silverline Audio La Folia Loudspeakers, any good? Huge speakers...but very musical and efficent. Works best with an amp with good current, not necessarily watts.Here are some reviews:http://www.silverlineaudio.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=38Disclaimer: I sell ... | |
| Pinched Waist 7062/E180CC Your right.These tubes were never produced in mass, and finding them is quite tough...perhaps impossible.I did find one guy that has them :http://www.elexs.com/4AudioA1.htmMy compliments,PaulDisclaimer: I sell tubes on Audiogon | |
| Cary Audio SLP 05 PreampWhat tubes are you using? Congratulations on owning a great preamp. The Sylvania short bottle 6SN7W are great tubes. I would also try the 1578 Russian 6SN7 tubes to add more air and space between instruments...an amazing sounding tube.Disclaimer: I do sell tubes on Audiogon. | |
| 6SN7 Tung Sol Reissue Mullard 12AX7 any comments? In a neutral system, the Tung Sol re-issue is a honky sounding tube...nothing smooth or natural about it. For a bit more, you can get into NOS Sylvania VT231 tubes...smooth and extended. Good stuff! |
