Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922
Rodman,my man -:) So even the "Unicorn-like" Amperex PW's would not be as good? Sheeesh,"those" are supposedly an amazing and incredibly rare tube,and there is even a "better" PW type,in the CCa Phillips PW? This journey is becomming almost like a... 
Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922
New question,for the "Tube Gods".... I understand there is a 6922 type "Pinched Waiste" CCa Phillips" label tube,that is supposedly "The Holy Grail" of PW's.From what I have read. Being that the CCa's were made for German Tele companies,is it poss... 
dead quiet
I caught this thread a little late,so I apologize if my point has been mentioned... From my experience(and I'm sure others)the "dead quietness" issue is "dramatically" affected by the actual room itself!! This is emphasized whenever I make my trip... 
Unipivot vs Linear Tracking
Just in case anyone is looking to explore the viability(and affordability)of a nice LTT arm,I found a very reasonably priced design by searching around the web.... There is a link on Arthur Salvatore's site,but it can be found at..TransFiAudio@aol... 
Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922
John...EXTREMELY NICE OF YOU!!!!!...but I am not the type to accept an offer "that" generous!!! I am getting the Huntley/GNS modded pre/phono next week,and "still" have to burn in the new Teflon caps(which take forever,from what i hear) so any com... 
Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922
Hmm!!Now I'm gonna have to convince my pal,who has two back up "mint" sets of Amperex U.S.6922 PQ White Label's for an A/B with my primo CCa's. Should be interesting Thanks for all the feedback...."unless it costs me significant money"... -:) 
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
Btw,where the Wally was "outstanding" was in the way it allows for azimuth alignment,"BUT" you need good/young eyes to max out it's way of alignment/sighting. I like Doug's method,which I think is to set close enough by eye,to "then" let the ear t...

Dvad,do you like the Amperex 6922 PQ USA White Label better than a very good set of CCa's? Best 
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
Stiltskin et al,I did use both the Wally,and the Graham Phantom jig...over "the" two weekends,where I spent a TON of time setting criteria to the n'th degree(and maybe 6 to 8 hrs of sound,before..."Krakatoa,East of Java").One reason I was SO peeve... 
Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922
Tvad,thanks...quite well put! So I guess I need to decide if I would sell my Porsche,to get the BM'R -:) Btw,I drive an all wheel drive Subaru,and am embarrased to say(in this company) I love it! Best 
SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44
The "magnaglide" is also improved...Let's face it,Graham has a great track record with update improvements!! 
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
It must be nice to be able to actually go "hands on" with the great analog toys,you all speak of....The "jig thing" is fun....A nice way to spend a week-end of "hobby". My last experience,of months ago,left me "cold"!!Both towards a well known dea... 
Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922
Tvad,no problem.... Since I may be interested in pulling the trigger on a pricey threesome of PW's could you "please" give some descriptive/comparative input? I'd really be interested in your comments! Best 
Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922
Tvad,well I don't know why you seem to be ruffled by my comments.It is not to criticise anyone.But you do appear to be irritated.Sorry! I still don't see anyone(including you)who has made any thorough,or meaningful comparisons.Enough good input,to... 
Genuine Telefunken?
OK John,one thing I want to make clear is that I am in "no way" too serious about pushing you,in a direction you don't want to go in! It's really just hobbyspeak to me,so do what you feel comfy with.That being said,let's take the gloves off-:).......
