| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday Sorry to hear of his passing. He could be as acerbic as he was opinionated, but he knew high-end audio. Sound by Singer was my introduction to the joys of this hobby. RIP. | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @asvjerry - Dude!!! You are cracking me up. Back in the day, before the Tweakin’ Twenties, it was "etchings." | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @cey Good info. I did not know that. TY! Anyone remember when "Tubes" was a very, very active category on A'Gon? Pages of NOS offerings. Today, I saw 29 listed. David | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @asvjerry LOL!!!! A terrific A'Gon post, with my morning coffee. | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @thecarpathian Yes, yes, yes. You named some terrific tubes. I haven't heard of Simply Italy. Will look it up. When my F-I-L passed we inherited BOXES of signal and rectifier tubes and a Hickok tube tester. I spent the better part of a summer ... | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @audioman58 Are you the Yoda of A'gon? Or perhaps James Joyce? I re-read your posts multiple times..... Spellcheck and editing would help. Just sayin' And yes, NOS are harder to find. As are good tube testers. | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @thecarpathian I did a fair amount of tube rolling, with both the AU7 and AX7. I started with new production EH 12AU7-they are ok, are dependable, and very quiet. The Genalex ECC82 is terrific for modern production tubes--good dynamics, resoluti... | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? @thecarpathian - I had a set that I used in a 12AU7/12AX7 Cayin integrated amp. They were very quiet, and warmly-revealing tubes. Mine did not last 40,000+ hours, but I'm not complaining. And yes, they are black-shielded. | |
| Who still does mods for CD players @nrchy - bigkidz from Vu Jade Audio does upgrades. He is highly recommended by many A'Goners. https://www.vujadeaudio.com/ | |
| Holo May Pre-amp @mikedaniels - Wonderful system you have... I have an ARC LS28SE. I think the tube-based clarity, resolution, transients snap, holographic presentation work well with the May KTE Dac because the sound signature are similar. | |
| Holo May Pre-amp @mikedaniels -What’s in the rest of your system? I ran my Holo May with tubes separates and a top shelf CD transport, and really like the holographic and organic presentation. | |
| Dog pissed on speaker @miltonpyron Sorry to hear! As others have said, Nature's Miracle remove urine odors. FWIW, My cat urinated on my ARC 5SE. I hope the contributors on your thread treat you better than the ones on my thread :-) It was brutal. David | |

| Art Blakely & The Jazz Messengers Caravan (2024 Remaster) - anyone heard it? FWIW, I have the remastered European CD. It has Blakey playing with Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Cedar Walton, Curtis Fuller and Reggie Workman. Orrin Keepnews is the producer. It was originally released on Riverside and the recording and produ... |
