| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... To quote Bicycle man, "It's a pity to think that good current production 12ax7's are so lame -- what to do when it is time to buy new tubes?", which is what I was responding to. Where in that post was "saving money" mentioned again? FYI: The EAT c... | |

| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Here's the only new production 12AX7 worth thinking about, if you are able to appreciate the differences/improvements in sonics that the right NOS tubes provide(and it's obvious you do): (http://www.musicdirect.com/product/73403) With regards to E... | |

| XLR interconnects? If you enjoy transparency: Before you decide that "can't listen to any other cable", try the Kimber Hero. Within your price range it's VERY hard to beat for honesty. | |
| This may be a silly question but... I'm guessing you're trying to compare Romex to the Anti-Cables? The Anti-Cables are made of OHNO Constant Cast, Oxygen Free Copper(one single, very long/very pure crystal), and covered with a very thin insulator(virtually eliminating dielectric ab... | |
| RFI in tube system Try hooking up the pre and power amps normally, with the interconnect that would connect to the CDP in it's usual position(but w/o the CDP). Turn up the volume on the pre(Don't touch the interconnect) . Is the radio signal there? If it is: Turn th... | |
| Are contact treatments worth the money? ADAPT and OVERCOME!! SST and DeoxIT are weapons of opportunity in many applications. Chesty would be proud!! | |
| production or reproduction I don't want my Prime Rib to taste like Ahi Ahi, my milk to taste like Macon Blanc, nor my strawberries to taste like peppermint(though I appreciate them all). I appreciate truth and honesty in relationships(interpersonal, business, etc), and I do... | |
| If you were a tube preamplifier manufacturer Mr S- Actually, the cost of their ECC88 exceeds that of the pre-68, NOS Siemens CCa by 25 to 50 dollars(right now, for a very close triode balance, high transconductance reading CCa). I still prefer the CCa, as I feel it has a more accurate render... | |
| If you were a tube preamplifier manufacturer I would have to choose one of these, as they are the only current production, small signal tubes that come close to the performance of the cream of the NOS crop: (http://www.euroaudioteam.com/ecc803s.php) (http://www.euroaudioteam.com/ecc88.php) | |
| Newbie Troubleshooting Question You can upgrade to CREE Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes(better than HexFREDs) yourself, and install the previously suggested capacitor kit off eBay for about $70.00 total(plus your labor). If you can replace a resistor(like you said before), you c... | |
