Lisbon,In my system I have found the Tung-sol 5881 to sound more on the warm side of bass. Good definition, but not the rock solid bass that you just feel in your gut. If I am using my Ken-rad's then I prefer the Tung-sol 5881's. I find the 6f6g's...

Clipsal,I came to the same conclusion on the 6F6G and the Ken-Rad combo in my Syrah. The bass did seem overly strong. I am using the Tung-Sol round plates with the 6F6G and find this to be a very pleasing combo. Bass is still strong and powerful, ... 
Berning ZH-270 Amplifier,Which Speaker?
I have a pair of Gallo nucleus Reference speakers matched with my Berning. This is a great pairing because both the Berning and the Gallo's are very "fast". The music has great pace and speed. I am using a Supratek Syrah pre with the amp.

Fiddler,Thanks for the toast! I am wondering why the views of this thread is stuck at 48. I know we were over 10,000 views. We must have broke something at Audiogon, or they got tired of keeping track. Be careful guys, when we hit 1,000 posts smok...

Lisbon,My pair of JAN Sylvania VT-231's are not microphonic at all. The only tubes that I have microphonics issues with are the Ken-Rad Black Glass. I am finding that you can't label any brand of tube microphonic over another brand. You can have 2...

Thanks Bwhite,It is the round plate that I have. I have paired these with the Sylvania 6F6G tubes that Ecclectique recommended and this seems to be the magic combo in my system. The strongest, most tuneful bass I have heard in my system, but not a...

Do Tung Sol Round plate tubes come in both clear and black glass? Do they say round plate on them or just tung Sol SN7GT? 
Audioquest PT arm v. VPI JMW series
I used to have a Audioquest PT6 arm on my VPI table and went to a JMW 10 arm. NO comparison! The JMW is a much better arm. Fantastic bass, much more liquid midrange, more extended highs.

Baranyi,If you are ever in Cincnnati, you are welcome to come over and hear the Berning and the Syrah in my system. By the way guys, I think Mick is using that 6c33 tube in his new 100wpc amps also.

Baranyi,Not sure if I would go with that prototype unless you could get it cheap. If It were me I would place may order with Mick for the Supratek and probably order the Berning. Once in a great while a Berning shows up for sale, but if you want t...

Baranyi,You will be very happy with the Berning/Supratek combo. This is a match made in Heaven. I have a friend that has a pair of Sound Lab M1's. These speakers are HUGE! We hooked my 10 lb Berning up to them and I could not believe what I heard....

Hi Baranya, this is Slowhand. I am the guy that started this thread and I still have my Syrah. I have enjoyed it from day one and have no, I repeat no plans to sell it. The first thing I do each day when I get home from work is to turn my system o...
