Anyone try stuffing their ports?
Rhljazz - Overall I am very satisfied with the improvements the NOS tubes have provided - they are NOT coming out. However, they do seem to provide deeper and bigger bass so am wondering if this is causing any issues with my drivers (only 6.5" pol... 
Anyone try stuffing their ports?
I think ports are used strictly to achieve lower freqs. instead of increasing the size of the box. That said, assuming correct, does stuffing the ports change any other characteristics of the sound other than just low freq. output? For example, if...

The Beatles Mono Box Set or The Beatles Stereo???
After several passes through the mono box set I find that I prefer the mono CDs over stereo for every album. At first listen I thought I preferred the stereo on some albums (White, Rubber Soul) - more audio expansion was presented by the stereo, a...

Victor - Please tell me how many watts maximum two parallel 6C33C tubes should be able to generate if not 45/50?

Speaker cabinets: How important is inert

Have a pair of nice NOS JAN CLRV 12SX7GTs in my MT right now - smooth and relaxed, yet still detailed. Going to try a pair of NOS Sylvania 6SN7GTAs (chrome tops) next.

David - from one lazy, p'whipped man to another ... get off the couch, tell your wife to get a grip, and order a Mapletree. I did and am forever glad of it. Champagne audio for beer money. 
Auricle Audio Design encore kapton vs. anti-ICs
Own the Kaptons. Never heard Antis. But Kaptons wire is copper/silver alloy. Believe Antis are only copper. Kaptons are THE ONLY wire with silver I like. Never liked any silver plated wires at all of the few I heard. Can say the Kaptons are very o...
