| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables and bi-wire adapters. USPS tracking says "Out for Delivery". :) | |
| Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"? There's a very good reason to ask others "what sounds best?", particularly here; there are people who are very well informed about audio reproduction here. It's literally that simple. Equivalent to asking Anthony Fauci about viral reproduction.E... | |
| Tube Rolling Woes Have purchased new production and NOS tubes from most of the well known vendors. Best results have been from Brent Jessee Recording. While a bit more expensive than most/all other vendors, the testing and matching service he provides is, I belie... | |
| Tube pre w/ HT bypass? Dodd battery powered preamp. | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? "Correct"...is right!Here's an excerpt from what I wrote to the seller who had asked for a review of the tubes:"They produce such a cohesive sonic picture, that is so correct and natural, that it actually facilitates a more relaxed, less "critical... | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? Okalee dokalee. The Voskhod 'for export' mid 1970s 6n23p tubes showed up today. Clearly NOS; clean Ni plated pins. 5 hours on tubes so far. Definitely the "flow" thing is there. Most notable relative to the Siemens, Amperex, Mullard and Dario... | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? Yes on the Siemens grey plate Cca being a great tube. As our our fellow audionaughts (nuts?) here have convinced me, I likely wouldn't notice much difference relative to the 1963 Siemens E188CCs that I'm currently running.A bit more on the Voskho... | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? I'll make sure to do so rodman. They're coming from Poland with estimated delivery between March 2 and March 19, so will be a while, but I'll for sure return the kindness of you and the other Audiogoners who contributed their hard won experientia... | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? Yo petg, just bought 4 Voskhod 6n23p "1970s for export" Nationals4 for the price of 1 Cca The nervosa cure didn't last long | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? Love this place. Once had a mentor tell me "All good scientist must have a latent masochistic streak"...what he meant was that, necessarily, scientists must enjoy the suffering that necessarily predicates the solving of hard problems.Could be wro... | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? Much appreciated rodman. I did try some NOS NIB French made Mazda (Dario labeled) blue tip e188cc from Brent Jessee in pursuit of a tad more harmonic richness, which indeed they delivered, but the sound was less real than the the afore mentioned ... | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? Good stuff wrm; thank you! I'll look into both the Voskhods and the Red Label Valvos.Thanks! | |

| Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? Amps are the only thing in the system that I’m absolutely positively certain will never be replaced. Custom 2 x 6BL7 + 4 x KT77 monoblocks (with $7K worth of Dueland caps!) built by master builder Charlie Cocci, old pal of Gary Dodd and Danny Ritc... | |
| Threshold SA/1 Your choice is between the company that will insure that they produce as close to original sonics as possible and the man who will insure that they produce the best sonics possible. I know what my choice would be: Soderberg all the way. Have a St... |
