Anyone try modern 6sn7 Shuguang WE type vs NOS RCA,Ken Rad
After flipping through all my vintage vt-231’s and others over the last couple weeks I’m back with Shuguang WE plus 6sn7’s in the amp. All had there special sonic signature but the Shuguang’s just have a jack of all trades sound. I feel the Shugua... 
burn in - how important?
Buy a Furutech NCF outlet and you will have to believe in burn in it’s a bad long schizophrenic ride.

I let Ken Rads run a couple days they have come back to life from being dormant all these years. Ken Rad is more relaxed compared to the Shuguang. RCA more relaxed than Ken Rad. I may need to put Shuguang back in to see if memory is right but seem...

roxy54 emailed me a Personal Message stating “If he had neglected or refused to get a vaccination he has no soul or brain. If that was the case he has my sympathy”. I did not respond!  What kind of man lives or thinks this way? I guess if we don’t...

lowrider how far are closest outside diameter on your tube sockets from each other if that makes sense? My power amp has 3 6sn7 tubes up front and I have to use an adapter on the middle one. The OD of sockets is maybe a little less than 5/8 or 5/8...

The Shuguang is definitely more lively than RCA. In a strange way I prefer Shuguang as much as RCA but for different reasons. If I want a slow relaxed darker presentation RCA is my choice. I’m not good with audiophile words but the Shuguang is cl...

I’m off this week so I took out the Shuguang WE plus 6sn7’s today and put in RCA gray glass let them run for most of the day.   The RCA’s sound very smooth nice detail and bass. Put Shuguang back in and have to admit it’s a very nice tube. The R... 
Need Amp recommendation
Smart move to up budget. If it was me and I owned the Rogue I would find a warm tube like solid state that has high current that doubles between 4 and 8 ohms.   The Rogue is not a lush tube preamp but when matched with a warm side of neutral amp ...

If you can stretch a little find and good deal on a McCormack dna-1. I had a Rouge 99 magnum paired with a DNA-1 rev A 15 years ago and to this day still miss that combo ran it with some Vandersteens. Something about that the Rouge matched with th... 
Don Sachs older D2 preamp vs his new version
Maybe I should add I have access to a 9 month old Dons Dachs D2 and a 4 year old D2, so there is no wait time.  
Don Sachs older D2 preamp vs his new version
Jay I mean no disrespect but I talked to Don and that’s just not true. It may take a few months or until spring. From what I was told he’s semi retired and working at his own speed.
