| 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... | |
| Looking for a smooth sounding 6922 variant @peter_s -Hi Peter. Following this thread and I found the following review on the Blackburn Mullards. "The Blackburn Mullard is fully burned in. The weakness of the tube is the anemic bass and midbass, producing an unbalanced sound spectrum. The ... | |
| Singxer SU-6 @mitch2 -Thanks for your review. I purchased one at the end of 2023 and use it with my Aurender N200 and ARC CD 6SE CD/DAC. Since the Aurender is USB output, by using an AES/EBU between the SU-6 and my CD/DAC, I've been able to upsample the music... | |
| Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!! This is an informational and fun thread. Thanks to the OP. Not sure if $1,000 upgrade is a "tweak." But here's go- My Aurender N200 is connected to my ARC Ref 6SE CD player/DAC. Since the DAC can upsample up to 196, I added a Singxer SU-6 and an... |
