| Anyone rolled fuses in the Primaluna integrated? To be specific, I'm interested in hearing about fuse esperiences with the PRIMALUNA, not other integrated amplifiers. | |
| Anyone own Silverline Prelude Plus speakers in the Seattle area? Evidently not a popular speaker, the Prelude Plus, although there is a fair amount of information about the Minuet, original Prelude and other Silverline products. One simply cannot compare the original Prelude with the Prelude Plus -- totally dif... | |
| TADAC tube dac help Thanks, I saw those. None of the photos is helpful. Mine is a prototype model with a switching box attached to the bottom and utilizes an outboard power supply. | |
| MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING gelle... I have several NOS Siemens e88cc for sale. PM me if you're interested. | |
| MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING gelle... other dealers will have the Siemens tubes and they regularly come up on Ebay. "Farawayfinds" on Ebay has an excellent selection from the 6922 family. I have the Orchid as well and all the flavors of 6922 fit comfortably with a pin adapter... | |
| MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING PS, Generally speaking, the earlier production Siemens valves -- like many other brands -- are superior to the later production. | |
| MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING gelle... Siemens made valves are from German and the European 6922 (American designation) equivalent is the e88cc. Many tube dealers, such as Brent Jessee, carry them. Top of the Siemens line is the CCa, followed by the e188cc (American 7308), the... | |
| Mitchum or Blackburn for the Mullard 6922? Wow, it took a long time --150 hrs or so -- for my Mullard e88cc to break in. Now the bass is fleshed out, the highs smoother and soundstage more dimensional. Altogether a more balanced sound. Yes, magical, richly satturated midrange, if without... | |
| Mitchum or Blackburn for the Mullard 6922? RAM? | |
| Mitchum or Blackburn for the Mullard 6922? Ah, yes the "magical midrange." I agree. Yet in my Blackburn, the mids and upper mids seem over-emphasized. I prefer to tone it down a notch or up the bass and midbass. Could be a mismatch with my system, I suppose. Does the Mitcham have as much d... | |
| Mitchum or Blackburn for the Mullard 6922? tvad... Have you compared the Blackburn and Mitcham e88ccs? | |
| Mitchum or Blackburn for the Mullard 6922? Tvad... On the contrary, I'm "satisfied" with most of the 6922s I've tried. Each has its own character and I appreciate their respective ways with music. On occasion I change tubes when listening to particular types of music. My generalist tubes t... | |
| Mitchum or Blackburn for the Mullard 6922? The Blackburn Mullard is fully burned in. The weakness of the tube is the anemic bass and midbass, producing an unbalanced sound spectrum. The upper mids and highs are glorious, however, detailed, harmonically layered, 3-dimensional and natural so... | |
| Mitchum or Blackburn for the Mullard 6922? Ha ha ha. Now I'm worndering what Mitchum production sounds like. | |
| Mitchum or Blackburn for the Mullard 6922? Yes, it's IEC Mullard, although the IEC is patchy. |
