Merlin Owner's...

I wonder what Wavac 833's would sound like.

How would chrome plated brassrods look and sound with the Piano Black/Ice Black Blue finishes?

we've done this in the past and found that the chrome rods did not damp the cabinet as well as the brass thus emparting a slightly sibilant quality to the hf.
the best all round performer is the brass hands down.

In the late 70's to early 80's, the Guitar community espoused the use of Brass for the nut, bridge and string ferrules(Think Fender Srtat)because it had a "Bell-like ring" tone. Later, bone was the material of choice.

"FERRARI RED", but I didn't have the balls to order them! Wife sez...So I went with the standard "Piano Black" However, in the final analysis it was the right choice.
