Best 845 tube out there?
I just noticed the tube-sale.com link I posted earlier in this thread where I just bought the 845’s is no longer there. Some crappy looking website is there instead. Shuguang must be having some issues... 
Best 845 tube out there?
@parsons  Please chime in when you get the Psvane WE845’s and have a chance to try them in the Melody. I got a pair of the cheaper standard 845’s from Shuguang and thought they sounded great until today they started to crap out on me. So back to t...

@genjamon That would be a tough a/b as I think if my memory is correct you have to disconnect the wires from the receptacle to get the frame out. Your desription of a light tone/timbre though is what I think I’m hearing with the Terzo ic’s. While ... 
New TEO Audio ICs, who has them?
@taras22 Oh no, not an even trade but the original GC’s plus whatever money difference you’d think would make the trade fair. Just a thought I had. I have two pairs of the .6m original GC’s.  
New TEO Audio ICs, who has them?
@teo_audio  Would you take a standard GC in on grade for a GC II?

@samac I have the cover and frame for two NCF outlets and honestly I'm not sure if they really do improve things that much but I got them and installed them anyway. The receptacle is the star of the show so getting that first is my recommendation ...

@maxima95 This is what I use. The seller usually ships pretty fast but my last order took a little longer than other orders for some reason but for the money I think they're hard to beat.https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Set-Copper-Rhodium-Plated-US-AC-P...

+1 for the NCF receptacle. For the price of a set of NCF connectors for one power cable you can get around 3 NCF receptacles and have a much bigger impact on the overall performance of your system. To me the improvement from a GTX Rhodium to an NC...

I agree lak. I think you might have been the one who posted the ebay link for the connectors I now use and think they’re just as good as Furutech but for pennies and allows me to buy better quality wire cabling without shelling out a large amount ...

Good to know lak, thanks! When I received the bulk version BM v2 cable I was pleasantly surprised to find the shield much easier to work with in connecting it to the ground versus Furutech’s braided mess you get.Was also going to mention that I ch...

Does anybody know what the factory terminated Black Mamba V2 does with the shield wire? Just curious because I've been connecting the shield wire to ground on the ac plug side only as I've heard from others this is the most effective way but wonde...

@ozzy How many Matrix pc’s did you get? And are all the pc’s you’re using now the DPS-4? 
New TEO Audio ICs, who has them?
teo_audio still around here? They used to reply to these kinda threads.

I'm really liking these Terzo ic's. Need to try the rhodium connectors on them but so far the cheap gold Furutechs are working well. Looking at the prices of already assembled pairs of Terzo ic's it seems the diy doesn't save as much money as it d...

I think all the cables tuffy72561 mentioned are really good cables and like lak said its just a matter of trying them out in your own system to see what is preferred. From what I’ve heard thus far I would also say that if your system is a tad on t...
