| Tubes Rock What a pity, I can't get them in 5X-Short.Tubby | |
| What is the "best" of the 5881 Tubes. Thank's for the help Rhing. I will give Torres Engineering a call later today. They seem to be the ONLY ones with the GT 12AX7-M's. I'm still thinking stongly about "Cyro" tubes (for the 6L6's), but they are a bit pricey. On the other hand, they l... | |
| Tube Suggestions Onix SP3 I will second that one... literally. My first amp had a bit of a problem and AV123 gave me an RA (return authorization) and sent another amp immediately (before the old one left to go back). My first one had been a "B" stock, but was screwed up in... | |
| W and M Interconnects We are holding off for a short while on the CD player. We stepped sideways, and slightly up, in "convenient listening" instead. We purchased a "Polk XRt12" XM Radio receiver. We both like it quite a bit, but I can't in "true conscience" call it a ... | |
| Tube Suggestions Onix SP3 * Copied and pasted from another post under "Amps/Pre-amps" forum: Best 5881 Tubes.In a short answer to my own question, I dropped in a pair of NOS GE 6dj8 (6922)'s in the SP-3 and found a slight but very distinct difference. The GE's (similar in ... | |
| What is the "best" of the 5881 Tubes. In a short answer to my own question, I dropped in a pair of NOS GE 6dj8 (6922)'s in the SP-3 and found a slight but very distinct difference. The GE's (similar in sound to the Philips imho) brought out a more "single ended" immediacy with a tad m... | |
| What is the "best" of the 5881 Tubes. Thanks for all info. .... Valuable and appreciated.I didn't find anyone that had any of the GT 12ax7M tubes in stock (even Groove Tube is back ordered). I did try a pair of Sovtek 12ax7WB's (that I purchased from a music store close by). "BIG" dif... | |
| W and M Interconnects I think that we seem to be missing the basic point of it all. This is not the "Review" channel, it is the "Cable" channel. Since these are virtually unknown cables, it seems logical (imho) that any tid-bit of info should be well rec'd. The info po... | |
| Sunny Cables "Wow" Anyone checked the cost of living and doing buisness in Orinda, Ca. lately ? I'll wait until the company moves to cheaper place to offer their goods. Might cut the cable price by 90%.Tubby | |
| W and M Interconnects It is my post (I assume) that you are probably refering to. The other Agon poster has not had any time with his new cables either. My W and M cables were the very first to be won on Audiogon auction. I totally agree with Herman and yourself and I ... | |
| W and M Audio Speaker cable and Interconnects Hi David99The jury is still out on the cables and interconnects ("my" jury, anyway). So far they are mostly "Eye Candy".The bad news first. I rec'd my Onix SP-3 tube amp from AV123. They treated the amp bad enough in shipping that I had to return ... | |
| Eliminating RFI A small "Faraday cage" may work. A Brass or copper screen box that would cover the encloser of your headphone amp. Thinking about it for a moment, I have seen various "metal" mesh containers and other "mesh" office supplies at Office Depot and eve... | |
| Source for Nice quality Knobs I ordered a "Pignose" knob for my (incoming) Onix P3 (Integrated tube amp) from "Pignose Amps" in LV Nev. It is a high quality nose and should last the amp a lifetime.Tubby | |
| W and M Audio Speaker cable and Interconnects I finally made a decision on the amp to use along with the W and M cables. I am going to try out the little Onix P-3 Tube amp and see if all of the hype and glamour is worth the gallons of good ink from the reviews. This little Silver Pig was not ... | |
| How to improve XM Radio audio quality? Acually, just about any outboard (audiophile type) device will help the sound of the (self proclaimed) "new standard in Radio". If you have "Direct TV" (not sure about "Cerious") and also own a "Tivo" unit, there is one of those slimy little "opti... |
