| Upgrading tubes Absolutely, upgrade your fuses(per davidpritchard’s recommendation) and the power cord, as well. Make your changes one at a time, keeping notes on your observations and(please) let us know of the results. Have fun! BTW: Parts Connexion has Hi-Fi ... | |
| treasure kt 88 vs vintage tung Sol 6550 @xti16 - The clarity and lack of unnatural coloration are exactly why I prefer and have all NOS tubes such as Siemens, Telefunken, Sylvania, and Tung-Sol in my system. presently- I have(what were NOS) 1970's GE 6550A's, performing the output dut... | |
| Upgrading tubes The 6N1P draws more heater current than the tubes in the 6DJ8/6922/ECC88 family, so anything in that group should be interchangable in a component designed for the 6N1P. There are a plethora of NOS, vintage tubes available in both that and the 1... | |
| treasure kt 88 vs vintage tung Sol 6550 "The treasures are not as clean sounding, but considering what is available today, they may be the closest to NOS." No- regarding what's being manufactured today, the closest to the original Tung-Sol, is the EAT KT-88. Nothing else comes close, ... | |

| Where Do you buy TRANSISTORS? "Yes for the better nearly every time, it’s called evolving." What good is, "for the better", if the, "evolving" SS transistors are so hard to locate and OEM replacement parts are virtual unobtainium(the OP’s and my point)? The crappy, new product... | |
| Where Do you buy TRANSISTORS? That’s another reason I prefer tubed equipment over SS. Both types of gain devices wear out/go bad, but tube designations and availability have historically been far more consistent than the ever-changing and constantly obsolesced plethora of sand... | |
| Creating space between interconnects & keeping cables off the floor Actually, there's nothing wrong with crossing cables. Problems can arise when when cables are run parallel and electromagnetically induce currents in each other(http://cas.umkc.edu/physics/wrobel/phy250/lecture6.pdf). Distance is your friend, in... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! I'll bet some of you REALLY miss your messiah, Julian Hirsch. | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? When I had my shoppe in Florida(early 80's), I upgraded a few DQ-10 crossovers, replaced the Motorola Piezos with JVC ribbon tweeters and mirror imaged the customers' pairs. Talk about sweet performers(for their time)! | |
| Audio Research SP9 MKII Having owned both the SP-9 mkII & SP-14, I have to agree with oregonpapa. Both were good performers, when equipped with the Siemens, early 60's, grey shield, CCa, but- the 14 did have better presentation than the 9. I handed my 14 down to... | |
| Synergistic dealer? The Cable Company. Can’t beat their customer service! Of course, there may be an amount of bias on my part. I’ve done enough business with them, I now get a substantial(Frequent Flier) discount. (http://www.thecableco.com) | |
| Does it ever bother you "Only when condensation creeps in does it get a bit old." Yeah, I just hate it when conversations get drippy. | |
