| To warm up or not to warm up, and...? If you’re not actually hearing a negative impact in sound/presentation with your ears: don’t let it bother your head. iow: Relax and enjoy! | |
| VAC 70/70 III Owners......6SN7, 300B Recomm. "Can I use one RCA + one Rayheon vt231 for each channel? Thanks." Yes and that's preferable, compared to using the exact same tube, in both positions. | |
| VAC 70/70 mk3 tube rolling question Typically; being certain to not use the exact same tube for the first two stages (same channel) of your power amp, will provide a better presentation. The most referred to 6SN7 comparison (http://www.dehavillandhifi.com/6sn7_vt.htm) mentions t... | |
| Soundstage gone Careful there, Iviv. Some naysayers will try to have you shamed, silenced and culturally cancelled, for even mentioning burn-in/break-in. Happy listening! | |
| Is Break-In essential and potentially dangerous for the Audiophile? You forgot to say, "TRUST ME!" | |
| Soundstage gone At first read of your original post; a swapped connection, in one channel at the cart, was my thought, which was addressed in the first response. Crosstalk, caused by incorrect azimuth setting, is another ambiance information (sound-stage &a... | |

However, this manufacturer also believes the use of aftermarket "break in" machinery and discs IRREP... | |
| Has anyone ever had to repair a Magnaplanar? You can probably sell the kids, for enough to cover a new pair of Maggies. They're much cheaper to feed! | |

| Should I upgrade my Tubes An easy, more noticeable (generally) and less expensive way to enter the tube-tasting whirlpool, than swapping power tubes: a change of the preamp tube. There are a number of nicer 12AU7/ECC82 tubes, that will change the Cronus’ presentation.... | |
| 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, ... |
