| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Once again, I’d like to send a thanks out to @decooney for the suggestion of tapping to loosen up the cathode material inside the tubes. I had to repeat this process three times. I have had the Linlai’s back in for about 8 hours today with no tube... | |
| Looking for wider soundstage In my opinion,from my experience, if you’re going to have a rack in the center, pull the speakers well out in front of the rack. I have a much smaller room,with rack in the center. I have achieved a wonderful soundstage. Can it be better? I thi... | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present @gillsysb, that is quite an extensive list. I may have to rethink these,and move them on. | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present Thanks for all the excellent recommendations. Luckily,these subs came with 5 meter cables,so moving these is a snap. So far,they are blending very well.( To my ears) @jtcf, thanks for the website. Hopefully I’ll have a few minutes tomorrow to t... | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present Thanks for the suggestion @soix. I have thought about that. I guess I’m a dinosaur,or a glutton for punishment. I really enjoy the hands on approach for getting these dialed in. I like to hear the difference every adjustment makes. This just he... | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present I’ve had the SB2000 pros set up and running for a couple of days. I am very happy with the performance of these. I’m also enjoying the flexibility to integrate these in my system. I’m tinkering a little bit here and there, but so far,not a whole ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @decooney, thank you so much for bringing up that issue with your signal tubes. After reading your post,I remember that I read about that phenomenon some time ago. I am going to give that a try. I had an issue today that my power supply tubes wer... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Last night I was listening to music, and decided to do a little experiment. I shut everything down,and waited a few minutes. I then preceded to put the Linlai’s back in the system to verify the bad tube and mark it.( since I had failed to do so ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes It looks like my new tubes will be leaving China soon. I rethought my reluctance to name the EBay seller, as @bugredmachine stated above, amptata_audio. They shipped very fast the first time. They also worked flawlessly until my little mishap. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I have purchased mine from an eBay vendor from China. I don’t want to offer advertising on the forums. PM me and I will be more than happy to share. I just don’t want to come across as anything other than a hobbyist. This I will share,when I firs... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I must have a serious comprehension issue. I looked on Vivas website for 5 minutes last night, and couldn’t find a mention of a matched pair! Singles,triplets,and so on, but no pairs. Time to start eating some brain food. Any suggestions?? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @lowrider57, that would be my luck to happen to me. @aldnorab , I believe there is a warranty against defects, I don’t think stupidity is covered. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Not totally I guess, It still produces sound, much lower,with some crackle. I shut it down before possibly harming my preamp. The pre must have still been charged? I’m just really thankful I only ruined a tube. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I’m assuming that was the issue. When I turned the pre back on, I heard a pop,and shut it down. Waited a few minutes,turned it back on,an low volume on the right channel. Shut it down,waited a few minutes,switched tubes. Low volume moved to the l... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Well,I just pulled a BONE HEAD move and cooked a tube. I just ordered another pair. I turned the system off to pull a tube for measurements, and like an idiot,instead of just leaving the room for a few minutes, I put said tube back in a little to... |
