Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp I agree looking into NOS 5751 tubes since I use a set in my preamp section. I would contact Brent Jessee for advice since he stocks many 12AX7 type tubes. He has some matched sets that are a bit over $100. | |

Deals Gone Bad I was recently scammed for $1500 after posting a want ad on usaudiomart. The individual pretended to be someone else with great feedback on head-fi and was listed as a member here on audiogon. Unfortunately, like most sellers now, the individual w... | |
Synergistic Powercell 12UEF SE a worthy upgrade? @sgordon1 Thanks for your response. I’m curious why you would need a Puron? It sounds like the Powercell isn’t doing its job if it requires an additional line conditioner. | |
Synergistic Powercell 12UEF SE a worthy upgrade? Since I haven’t received any comments, let me rephrase my question. Can anyone recommend or have opinions concerning the Powercell 12? | |
Synergistic Powercell 12UEF SE a worthy upgrade? @docknow I will. | |
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line If you’re looking for a warmer sounding tube with less grain for your Audio Mirror, I bought an NOS Mullard 6DJ8 for $47 from Brent Jesse. | |
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @wlutke There is an Aurender N10 for sale right here on Audiogon for $3k. I just purchased a used N10 to replace the N100 and it sounds great. From what I read, these models are more organic sounding than the newer models. I never had issue with... | |
Searching for a little more warmth I would add a pair of REL subs which I recently incorporated into my system. Not only did they add a better bass foundation, they also made the sound fuller. It was not hard integrating the subs by following the instructions. I would contact John ... | |
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? For those of you who heard these speakers or other Clayton speakers in person, I’m curious about the tonality and texture these speakers project. Besides having a large soundstage and deep bass, which side of neutral are they? Do they have the mi... | |
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes Here’s the latest update. On a whim I decided to swap fuses to see if there were any differences. I was using a recommended Hifi tuning copper supreme for its warmer presentation. I replaced it with the stock fuse and the upper glare was reduced f... | |
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes @fleschler I’m returning the Mullard to Brent in exchange for a Bugle Boy. He described the sound of the Bugle Boy just as you had stated. | |
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes @newbee As you recommended, I installed a JJ and it sounds better the Mullards. It removed the piercing extended highs but the overall sound is just as good as the Mullards. It has a nice soundstage and the bass is well defined. Who would have tho... | |
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes @wlutke Thanks for the info. @earthbound I forgot I purchased another Mullard from Brent Jessee in the past. This one clearly shows it as a Mullard ECC88 and the other was hard to read but the box said it was a 6DJ8 manufactured by Mullard fo... | |
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes @newbee I just ordered a JJ so I’ll see how it goes. |
