| Should I upgrade my Tubes You have one preamp tube (the middle 12AU7). The rest of the nine-pin miniatures, comprise the front end of the Rogue’s power amp section. If it’s sounding good; no (no worries). Those will typically last much longer than the output... | |
| Should I upgrade my Tubes @decooney - Never did try anything with less potential power than the KT88/6550, being an SPL lover and trying to squeeze as much as possible, with the lowest distortion, from my modded SLM-100s. A relatively small, highly treated room with 9... | |
| Should I upgrade my Tubes I used NOS octets of Sylvania 6550s for a few years, purchased from Upscale, until they ran out of stock. Kevin Deal recommended the Winged ’C’, Svetlanas, as his number one choice for KT88/6550 types, and they were close enough in performanc... | |
| Should I upgrade my Tubes Assuming you’ve checked your bias, have more than one source and they all exhibit the same result into the Cronus: I’d replace the middle 12AU7 (preamp tube), first. Generally speaking; tubes lose their juice more slowly (not a sudden event, ... | |
| Soundstage, layering and tube differences What kalali said, +1. | |
| Soundstage, layering and tube differences "Tubes need zero burn-in...zero." ???? Don’t know your opinion of Brent Jessee (one of the most respected names in NOS tubes), but- here are just a few sentences (verbatim), from a letter that he includes, when you receive tubes purchased fro... | |
| fake TL audio preamp in china @stereo5 - Where, in millercarbon’s post, was there anything even resembling a, "right wing, political agenda"? Unless either completely, willfully ignorant, or- just plain stupid, no one can deny that the chinese communists (caps... | |
| Help: Low output on one channel The less complex a system: the better the performance, as a rule (at least, in my experience). Isn't it great, when you can figure things out on your own? KUDOS and happy listening! | |
| A Highly Unusual Topic! First time I heard this; I wished the CD box was scratch-n-sniff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=KdS6HFQ_LUc | |

| Short Power Cable (ie, 3 to 6ft) Dead thread resurrections/dead head responses (19 years, in THIS case). Are we having fun, yet? Apologies, to Grateful fans! | |
| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables Meanwhile, back to the topic of this thread. Given that magnet wire is available with silver plating and polymer coatings; YES, Mapleshade’s speaker cables can be considered as made from such, though they may balk at the mention. About L... | |
| Breaking into the industry It’s been fifteen years! HOPEFULLY, they’ve chosen a career path by now. | |
| Help: Low output on one channel Any diff if you switch between tube & SS circuit? On a different tack: How old is the Peachtree? In the past; I’ve had to replace those wimpy, surface-mount capacitors, in digital components (preamps with ADC/DAC boards) with the sam... | |
