| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? What are you trying to achieve sonically? Or is it the dreaded “itch”? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @aldnorab, from the base,not including the pins,they are about 4”. They are biggins for sure. | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? Some very good suggestions so far. It boils down to what are you unhappy with? Maybe go listen at a local dealer to get a feeling for what differences there are. Who knows,you might just be happy with what you have now? Or is that just silly talk... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @vinylvalet,and @aldnorab, I’ve been told they need 100hrs of burn in. Please post your impressions here. I’m at about 55 hours. I m on vacation,so I’ve been running them 12-14 hrs a day. I haven’t done any analytical listening,but they are defini... | |
| Verastarr It’s sad how hard you have to push sometimes,just to get folks to do the right thing. I’m happy to hear a resolution is in sight. | |

I have a couple different systems,and some extra gear that I swap in and out of those systems. This gives me the ability to get a different soun... | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers In my experience, it is a combination of three things that have been mentioned. Recording,speaker placement,and acoustic treatment. However, as important as these things are,for me,speaker placement was the most important factor. | |
| Linlai 12AU7 ???? The 12au7’s look very interesting. @twoleftears, There isn’t much info,but they’re not horribly expensive. Are you going to give them a try? | |
| Linlai 12AU7 ???? Before my inquiry, I have enough tubes to last 15 years,if not more. However I do see your point. There will always be tubes available. Aren’t there still tubes being sold from the 30’s,40’s? Panic buying will bring out the gougers. By the way,I h... | |
