| Rogue amps-- try 5751 instead of 12ax7 The 5751 is a well-known sub for the 12AX7 that works in MOST circuits. My experience is that the 3 mica black plate versions are the best of the bunch. My favorites are the early RCAs and GEs that have silver clips (looks kind of like braces) on ... | |

| I need a lower gain 12au7 for Mastersound Try a pair of RFT 12AU7s. | |
| what is doing Arnie Nudell? I believe that he is doing better. He IS actively involved in developing a new speaker with Mark Schifter of av123, but it will be a new brand. I think they are hoping to have a sample available at RMAF. | |

| rothwell attenuators..effect on sound? I bought the comparable goldenjacks attenuators on eBay and did not notice any difference other than the lower volume level. Made my volume control much more effective. Very high quality construction for less than the Rothwells. Search goldenjacks... | |
