KT88 vs 6550 tubes
I’m sorry 3MA Audio , Houston, TX  
KT88 vs 6550 tubes
   So the “ KT” means kinked tetrode , this was a design change to circumvent the original patent. I have NOS Tung Sol 6550 ( 3 hole ) and SED Winged C 6550’s . I have NOS GEC KT-88’s and KT-77’s (smoked glass ). New production GL KT88’s and KT-77... 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
   Take a look at the crap he sells on EBay . Odd tubes that “ somebody “ tested, vintage receivers that are not serviced , and other garage sale crap . I like his disclaimer that he “ video records “ the internals so “ parts pirates “ don’t try t... 
Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake
Mike , Mail them to grannyring . Many of us have his cables , and they Rock . I have more expensive stuff , and grannyrings IC’s sound good in comparison. His offer is generous, and he does good work . He’s a good example of the quality people on ... 
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
@twoleftears, Morrow offers 60 days. Even at 400 hours , that’s not hard to do . Besides , if you ever actually talked to Mike , he will work with people . I run tubes , and I requested 10 day ( 240 ) hour break in on my power cords and speaker ca... 
Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100?
Thanks for a really cool discussion. Unfortunately I grew up and still live in Fresno . So I lost interest in FM long ago . My last dedicated tuner was a Dynaco FM 3 fully serviced ( tubes and alignment ) by a local shop . I then used Sansui and M... 
GO PATS!
   Yes Sir ! They are the WORLD CHAMPIONS ! In a 1 country sport .  
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
@teajay, so how does Zu compare to the Tekton ? Also how different will my 12wpc SEP sound Vs a true SET ? This is pretty vague question , but I’m asking with sincerity , Mike B.  
Hey RICH Audiophiles
   Never saw a single Porsche I didn’t admire . Especially the 917-30 with Mark Donahue driving . I savor the picture of myself  helping the late Al Holbert push the Lowenbrau 962 into the garage at Riverside . As a teen , I rode in the now famous... 
Buy 12ax7 tube
+1 to Loweider57, he is spot on with all advise . At your price point Tungsram and EI are your best bet . Telefunken is the best overall . Once you go Telefunken, you’ll never go back . I have a pre that takes 2 12AU7’s . I have about $ 2500. inve... 
Looking for thoughts/opinions on tube seller's response to my question...
Are these the same Tung Sols that Schiit sells for $100 ? Have you asked them about noise ? Did you remove and reinstall the tubes in different sockets ? I run high efficiency speakers and my system is susceptible to pre amp tube noise , especiall... 
Power conditioner and high end power cord
  So here’s my experience. I’m a Mid Fi guy and budget driven.               1 ). I installed Hubbell outlets . Easy and inexpensive. No SQ improvement noted . But my old outlets used a  push spring to attach the Romex . The Hubble’s have beefy sc... 
Simple and Effective Upgrade for Wall Wart Power Supplies
FWIW change the outlet to a medical grade . You can find decent ones in the $40 range . I have Hubbell’s and they put a death grip on my power cords .  
I saw an ad for Morrow Audio cables
   I’ve been running Morrow cables for almost 2 years . I recently added 2 MPA4 power cords . I replaced Silnote and Anti-Cables with Morrow products . I’ve purchased my Cables new on the 50% off sales , which makes them competitively priced . I r... 
beginner seperate system
Sorry you asked about separates . I own a Schiit Yiggy, Bifrost and Loki . I’m currently considering a Freya to use instead of my Rogue Pre. I am extremely pleased with their products as they offer great value . I’ve updated my Rogue with NOS Tele...
