| Purist interconnect cables I bought a few Purist cables from Albert Porter--a very good dealer. However, my inquiry was related to a cable that seems to have been taken out of the PAD line and I thought this forum would be the best source for objective input on this. | |
| NOS Tung Sol 6550 VS Tung Sol 6550 New Production Regardless of whether the 6550 is a rectifier tube or a power tube, it has a significant difference in the sonic quality of the Ref 6. The NOS Tung Sol totally changed the sound--for the worse. I am sticking with the original Sovtek. | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? I think my comments on the 6550 tube replacement for the Ref 3 would be relevant to my failed experiment with this in my Ref 6. I tried the Tung Sol NOS grey plate that was recommended by Andy at Vintage Tubes. He assured me that it had a great ... | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? I have an ARC Ref 3 and also a Ref 6, which is the one I use in my main system. I recently bought a NOS Tung-sol grey plate and tried it my Ref 6. (I presume the comparison would be the same in the Ref 3, although I did not try it in this unit.)... | |
| NOS Tung Sol 6550 VS Tung Sol 6550 New Production I also have the ARC Ref 6 and thought I would try the NOS Tung-Sol. I like a rich, sweet midrange, which is what the stock Sovtek has. I did not like the Tung-Sol. It has more extended highs, a deeper, tighter bass and is more dynamic. However... | |
| Suggestions for replacing the 6550 tube in the ARC Ref 6. I had seen references to differences between the black-plate and grey-plate on this site. Andy of Vintage Tubes said he does not think there is much difference in the two. He also said the NOS grey-plate had a good midrange, so I certainly would... | |
| $2500 Phono Stage Suggestions I upgraded my Rhea to the Signature series. I did not note any significant improvement, but bear in mind there was no direct comparison, since it was a month from the time it was sent in to the time I got it back with the upgrade. When I needed ... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music I would disagree with the suggestion to moving the speakers closer to the wall. That may give you more bass, but it will adversely affect the soundstage. When I changed the power cord on my Audio Valve mono blocks and my Ref 6 to PAD Diamond I h... | |
| Digital to Analogue Converter for TV to audio system I do not really use the tv for regular tv channels. I use it for blu rays. For that I have an Oppo connected to my pre-amp with balanced interconnects. I use the D/A converter for music performances on You Tube, so I want a high quality audio f... |
