| Top ten tube preamps CAT SL1, Joule LA-150MKII, and Placette Active. I also enjoyed the Lamm LL2 while I had it. | |
| Anyone recommend a neutral tube amp? ARC would seem be leaders in the neutrality arena. I think my CAT JL2 would fall into the neutrality side of the ledger. | |
| Re-tubing my ARC reference 1 preamp You will get warmth with those Mullards. Good sources for NOS in my experience have been Brent Jesse and Vintage Tube Services. Hardes part is getting closely matched and balanced pairs, but these guys seems to do a good job. | |
| Re-tubing my ARC reference 1 preamp Slates, I think you have a good starting point. The 6H23s are only $15, so you can try and decide. | |
| Re-tubing my ARC reference 1 preamp For "warm" versions of the 6922 type you might want to consider some NOS Mullards, probably the warmest of the lot, next in warmth would be Amperex. I think the Siemens and Telefunken tend to be the most neutral and linear. I agree about the 6H23 ... | |

| Anyone else heard the Quicksilver Triode Amps? Does anyone have any insight into why the Quicksilver may have pulled the 6C33C triode model off the market? | |
| Isolation for tube amps Would the HALO tube dampers help with airborne vibrations? | |
| Why so expensive?? Has anyone heard this 350K amp? | |
| Why so expensive?? Joeylawn36111, there lies the rub, do you get what you pay for? In many cases absolutely not and this hobby lends itself to many instances of that. Then there is some equipment that is expensive, is well built, good parts, sounds good, and is wort... | |
| Stupidgood: Ars Sonum Doubtful. Although the Stereophile reviews was with two different speakers, neither Merlins. | |
| Why so expensive?? Ralph, we were initially talking about a $350,000 amplifier and I don't care what it costs to do business -that is absurd, the price is so ridiculous that it almost doesn't deserve comment, but will get it anyway, and some will but it happily. And... |
