| 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... | |
| Looking for a Tube preamp with Tube Rectifier stage <= $/£/€ 3000 Just want to thank Ralph Karsten (atmasphere) for his consistency and generosity in sharing both factual and experiential information regarding audio reproduction...of which the above is an example...always a worthwhile read. Thank you! | |
| Hi end tube preamps, it’s all about functionality!! Right. Don't know the price yet, but I'll pay more than I am asked to pay for it in order to compensate the builder for the ridiculously low price of the awesome two 2x6BL7 & 4xKT77 monoblocks that he built for me.Agreed about the single tube... | |
| Hi end tube preamps, it’s all about functionality!! Have a tube preamp being built for me right now. Has 1 tube (6BL7GT), one knob (volume) and 2 toggle switches (on/off and input 1/2). Bet it will sound better than any "high end" preamp. | |
| Thoughts on vintage Accuphase Bought the P300, C200 and T100 as a group from (used electronics retailer) Thompson's Electronics in Eugene, OR in about 1996 for $900. Smokin' deal. Learned that the trio was on consignment from David Ogden Stiers (Major Winchester from M*A*S*H... | |
| Filter capacitance-how does it relate to amplifier performance? I apologize if I’m veering this thread off course, but wanted to add that the power supply in the Cocci tube amps is unregulated in order to provide speedy power delivery to the audio circuit, while the input section of the audio circuit includes ... | |
| Filter capacitance-how does it relate to amplifier performance? Thanks George! I really think a lot of people have really missed the boat with Matrix 801s, myself included for a long time....the oft repeated 'need for big solid state amplification' just isn't so in my experience...and in fact, is contraindica... |
