| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport Just curious, is The Music Room (TMR) a dealer for the Pro-ject RS2 T transport? It doesn't appear to be listed on their website. Thanks! | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport Thanks Terry! Interesting observations with your 3.1 Balanced MK II dac. | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport Terry,I wonder if you've been able to compare the Pro-ject to any of the upper level Audio Note transports that your local dealer sells. I have an all Audio Note system, using a level one transport with the Dac 2.1x Signature, which is one level d... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? +3My experience as well. Although I am using an adapter and a NOS Mullard ECC189/CV5331 which I have found to be superb in my Grannyring modded Orchid. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? rx8manInteresting. Will that disc fit without displacing the top cover lid of the dac?Bill (grannyring)....that's one of the things I admire about you. You incessantly keep an open mind, and are not afraid to tell it like you hear it. I don't have... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I finally received my NOS Mullard ECC189/CV5331 (6DJ8 variant) a couple days ago. Without any burn in on the tube, I was loving what I was hearing. With a couple days of running the tube 24/7, things are sounding glorious. I had no interest in mak... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? On the Amazon website for the Shuguang Treasure CV181-Z tube linked to above, in answer to someones' question about the grade of this tube, the seller responded:"The brand have three grade , General Grade,Treasure Grade(better grade) and Natural S... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Maybe this would work! https://www.amazon.com/Shuguang-Treasure-CV181-Z-Replace-CV181-T/dp/B01EA3ME9W/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Shuguang+Treasure+Cv181-z+Vacuum+Tube&qid=1581270385&s=musical-instruments&sr=1-1 | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Good point.Where did you source your Shuguang CV-181-Z? It appears only the 181-T variant is available in the US.....other than getting direct from China on Ebay. It appears at least some prefer the Z vs T model tube. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? rx8manMy Mullard 6DJ8 variant is still on the way to try out in my grannyring modded Orchid, but your experience with the CV-181-Z is certainly intriguing. I can't imagine though leaving the dac uncovered, and I have no idea as to how I would g... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I didn't realize you got the A OK from Jiun!Thanks.I did notice in the specs that the gain from the 6SN7 tube is lower than the 396A; maybe not quite enough to be noticeable, and, maybe as a buffer, gain is not an issue anyway.Will be interesting ... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? rx8manYou may be much more technically savvy than me, but I just looked up the specs on a 6SN7 tube and compared them to the 396A tube. Whereas the specs for a 6DJ8 appear to be pretty equivalent, unless I am reading things incorrectly (which coul... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I purchased the same adapter for my grannyring modified Orchid dac and there is a nos Mullard ECC189/CV5331 low noise 6DJ8 military stock tube on the way. Will report back. 😊 | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The Siemen tube sounds like it could be a great alternative, given the write up on Brent Jessee's website. I've tended toward the midrange of nos Mullard tubes in my previously owned tube preamp. But either way, if a 6DJ8 variant brings my Granny... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Jiun of MHDT Labs said no damage to the Orchid to use adapter and try 6DJ8 tube. He said "deserve to have a trial". |
