| Would like some opinions on tube rolling 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. | |

| Would like some opinions on tube rolling 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.
