| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp @stereo_gen I had the Sovtek 12AX7 LPS in my Black Ice FX Glass Tube DAC as the tubes selected when I purchased the DAC from Black Ice. Those tubes sounded ok in the DAC and thought I’d try them in my Phono Pre and they sounded pretty bad. I put t... | |
| Pop album that has stood the test of time +1 for YAZ .. Upstairs at Eric’s Make sure to check out the track “In My Room” | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp GE 5751 Triple Mica Black Plates did it for me. I know many folks despise EBay for tubes, but you probably can pick up a matched NOS pair for a few bucks under your budget to try out and see if you like. Make sure to check the seller’s feedback a... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit @jimbones Maybe I’ve been lucky with PreAmp Tubes but what is causing your tubes to go bad every 3 months? It’s been my experience with the Preamp Tubes lasting like forever or until I feel like rolling out for a change in sound. Output tubes on t... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @arafiq I recently just sold my Maggi .7’s. I found Maggi’s at times knocked my socks off and many times I found myself cringing. With lots of stuff Transparency was spot on but other times like female vocals tended to sound unfocused. My musica... | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it @sgnevling NOS Mullard or Reissues ? I tried mine with reissues and wasn’t happy. Went with GE 5751 Black Plates and am blown away. | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it @sgnevling I have that DAC as mentioned in a previous response… What tubes are you running with ? | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it @moonwatcher I have the Black Ice Glass FX DAC and opted to have it sent with the Sovtec 12AX7 LPS tubes and it sounded pretty good connected to my Bluesound N130. But then I swapped the tubes out to 1960 NOS GE5751 Triple Mica Black Plates and ... | |

| Rel T/7x sub sound improvement but… What are your room dimensions ? I have (2) T5-X’s and they blend well, just takes a few shots. I 1st will run test tones to really hear where my mains roll off to get an idea of where I’ll set the sub’s crossover…. but I do not set the gain or cr... | |

| NOS Tube Recommendation for Quicksilver Phono Pre Amp In my Phono Pre I run GE 5751 Black Plates - Triple Mica’s instead of 12AX7’s and LOVE THEM… The 5751’s make for a great phono pre tube, might want to consider over a 12AX7. I also run a set of RCA 5751 Triple Mica Black Plates in my DAC and they... | |
| Need suggestions on preamp @hikaru126 IMHO you’re doing an awful amount to try to make these Maggi’s work. Based upon the musical tastes you stated in your OP these really aren’t the best choice… Maggi’s are more acoustic guitar than Rock…and now they’re causing you to div... | |
| Need suggestions on preamp @hikaru126 Check out my system … Everything is listed… I had Maggi’s for 3 years…I tried and I’ve got an Ok set up and they just didn’t cut it. If you’re experiencing the issues you mentioned, I really don’t think swapping out a preamp is going ... |
