| Tube rolling my preamp with 6922EH I should have mentioned: With regards to the "focused bass" you're seeking- That's usually more a function of the amp/room/speaker/cable/interconnect combo. Of course the preamp plays a role as well, but the pre and tubes can provide as accurate a... | |
| Tube rolling my preamp with 6922EH "Warmer" and "darker" are colorations and exactly the opposite of "transparent". If you want "warmer" sound and less highs, a pair of NOS Mullard, Ediswan or Brimar tubes(British manufacture/coloration), ie: (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/product.as... | |
| Tube rolling my preamp with 6922EH Of course: The some of the best 6922s(CCa, E188CC, 7308, E88CC by Telefunken, Siemens, Amperex, Valvo) DO have gold pins, but they(the gold pins)won't make any sonic improvement on a tube by themselves. Step up to a matched NOS pair of one of thos... | |

| Matched tubes in preamps Any two tubes of the same family will work(one in each channel), but- if their transconductance is not matched, your channel balance will be off. How much off depends on how far off the tubes' gains are from one another. Even slightly off will aff... | |
| Unbiased information on contact metals SO- That's one reason in a row for being glad I'm in Indianapolis. Apparently there's no sulfur in the air here. I've got pure silver connectors on all but one pair of my interconnects and cables(my woofer cables), with no oxidation/tarnish what-s... | |

| Unbiased information on contact metals So don't fire any black powder, Berdan primed military cartridges or have egg fights around your silver plated connectors. Silver oxide will not cause any appreciable loss of conductivity. It still won't hurt to disturb all your connections once a... | |
