I just pulled the trigger on (2) matched ’poor mans’ Marconi 6SN7’s, the Canada Marconi 6SN7 5692 6SN7GTB Copper Rods 3 Holes code date 1952. Right now I have matched 1940’s (1) Sylvania 6SN7W metal base and (1) Sylvania 6SN7GT metal base in my LT...

@ptrck887 The Shuguang Dawning Series WE6SN7 PLUS. Bought a pair on line from a Hong Kong dealer. Can you share this dealer's link, contact information? Thanks  
Warm, yet detailed tube preamp
For more detail, neutral midrange, vintage 6SN7 Sylvania GT work okay Having tried several different pairs of interconnects...each provided different results as well. @audiojan Warmth to me is more "meat on the bones" in the midrange. It’s no... 
Warm, yet detailed tube preamp
@corelli, I should have mentioned in my previous post that I have (2) subwoofers in my LTA MICROZOTL MZ3 PREAMPLFIER as it has left and right preouts and I can custom tailor the bass. But I have to agree with you, an LTA preamp sounds nothing like... 
Warm, yet detailed tube preamp
The not to expensive (for some) LTA MICROZOTL MZ3 PREAMPLFIER that punches far beyond it’s $3700 price tag. And when I rolled in NOS tubes it responded that much better. I got mine used from LTA which came with a $400 discount on a one month old u... 
Best 12AU7?
I got (2) matched pair of NOS Siemens & Halske E82CC ECC802S ECC82 5814 which are an upgraded 12AU7 tube, triple mica, made in Munich, Germany from tubes.rs on ebay. They are outstanding but pricey.

Help me find a pre-amp
@oldschool1948 ,when I read your post I was actually ordering (2) Telefunken ECC801S / 12AT7WA’s and had just talked to Andy at Vintage Tube Services about sending my (1) Sylvania 6SNLW metal plate tube back to him so he can send me back (2) match...

@tweak1, sorry for not getting back to you. The AudioLab 6000CDT transport is just built right that punches way above it's price point. I actually prefer the non-tray transport CD feeder than a tray transport feeder that seems to get degraded and ...

@burtlake, I just ordered the Shanling ET3 straight from the source for a whopping total of $724.00. It’ll be awhile until I get it and run it through it’s paces. Time to sell my AudioLab 6000CDT...

I also have the AudioLab 6000CDT and when they came out with the AudioLab 9000CDT with the tray, I was disappointed it did not have the I2S connection or I would have upgraded to that transport.
