Tube Suggestions 6922 4 pathos Classic one

John_tracy's description of "warm, larger images, softer focus" is closer to the sound of Philips E188cc than Siemens 7308, in my opinion. I have used both tubes in my system, and they're both excellent...just different flavors.

When I had my version 2, I found the 6dj8 amperex's to give the best soundstage/imaging/bass, plus I have a ton of them for pretty cheap if you need some, both NOS and like NOS.

I have tried mullard/siemans/amperex ect and found the amperex to give the best sonics for MY EARS.

AMEN to that. I burn Amperex in my rig.

What is a good, reliable, reasonable priced source for Amperex?

I just installed a pair of Amperex 7308 tubes in my Pathos Classic One. There was a noticiable improvement in bass response and openess. However the most stunning upgrade that has affected the Pathos Amp. was installing a Richard Gray power supply. Particularly the 600s. Before this effort I was ready to get rid of this amp it had no life and no dynamics. A beauty with no personality. When I played the first song after plugging my equipment into this power supply my jaw literally dropped. I had to take back all the negative things I said about Sam Tellig of sterophile. Hope this is usefull.
