| Tube types The E188CC was my favorite. I think I still have a couple, in my stash, as well as a couple Amperex. After listening to a few different CCa’s, the grey shields became my nine-pin miniature of choice. My CDP takes six. Glad I bought a few spares, b... | |
| Tube types I also(as wlutke) owned an ARC SP-9, some decades back. I ended up with a Siemens E188CC, in it's main gain circuit. Hadn't tried a CCa yet, back then. Every tube, tried in that pre(there were a number), made a distinct difference in the s... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... "Again, fuses won’t and simply don’t make any tonal differences appear from their otherwise simple place in the component, and that fact never changes." A, "fact" has to be based on something and proven. The a... | |
| OMG - I am just investigating ‘tweaks’ to improve my audio system. @tom8999- Replacing your source's 12V wall-wart, with the Teddy power supply, should make a major improvement in presentation. If you shop; you may find one used, at(hopefully) a substantial savings. Also: Michael Spallone may have ideas, on ... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... btw, Georgie- Anyone that looks at my post history, will find the vast majority are an effort to encourage others to experiment for themselves. Well; that and they’ll realize, how full of ..it, you are. ie: "Wow!!! just looked at your his... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... For anyone that hasn’t been keeping up: Someone wondered whether amplifier manufacturers were aware of audiophile fuses. It took only three positive responses, for a naysayer to lose their mind. They can’t even seem to recall what THEY posted. Hil... | |
| Tube types @jea48- I mostly agree with Joe S, as well. I’m guess he didn’t have any late 50’s-early 60’s, grey shield, CCas. They command a premium price, for a reason. There’s much more difference, in the presentation of the upper-crust Siemens tubes, betwe... | |
| Tube types "Have you guys found that switching to premium tubes has been a significant improvement?" Absolutely! Less painful, when you only need one. | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Sure, after you asked, "Are you trying to say Odyssey come new with Gold tuning fuses?" | |
