| Phono stages: Hagerman and Sun Valley 1616 possible giant killers Strong endorsement for sure! | |
| Phono stages: Hagerman and Sun Valley 1616 possible giant killers No worries. Thanks for the clarification! Do you think the Hagerman competes with phono stages in the 3-5 K price range? | |
| Phono stages: Hagerman and Sun Valley 1616 possible giant killers Two things: I am pretty sure Kara DeHavilland is happily retired and that she did not make a straight phono stage (unfortunately ). Are the Darlington Labs phono stages "tubey" or warm sounding? | |
| Hagerman Trumpet MC review Question for the tube rollers. Do the 12 AX7's need a match quad? or just a two matched pairs? The 12ax7's are getting a bit pricey | |
| Gold Note PH-10 vs Manley Chinook Some reviewers have noted that they could not distinguish the Manley Oasis from a solid state phono stage. Leads to the question as to whether the Manley gear have the "tube sound" some seek? | |
| Reliable Dealer for 6CS7 tubes Just to wrap up this thread; hopefully once and for all. I did locate two reliable online sources for 6CS7 tubes. They are Tubeworld express in Wisconsin and dB tubes in Canada. Just in case anyone else is searching for replacement preamp tubes... | |

| Reliable Dealer for 6CS7 tubes Ok but who is he? | |
| Reliable Dealer for 6CS7 tubes No how does one reach him? thanks | |
| Reliable Dealer for 6CS7 tubes Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, those vendors both have a single tube. I did reach out to High End Repair and he emphatically told me there was no such modification available or planned. | |
| Reliable Dealer for 6CS7 tubes Yes, but thats not the issue. I have found the matching is not reliable. So one thinks they are buying a quad of NOS only to find out later that were not well matched. | |
| Rega Naia Aphellion 2 phono preamp I haven't heard the Entity but did sample the Slipsik 8 ( for MM ) and was quite impressed. I compared it to my Modwright ph 9.0X and found the Slipsik more engaging and musical. It actually made me want to listen to records. | |
