Vette,1) I am somewhat surprised that the 101D isn't utilized more often, it's really a beautiful and natural sounding tube.2) Agree regarding the W.E. Replica 845, it just sings in Jwm's (Jeff) Absolare amplifier and clearly outperformed the NOS ...

Vette,Do you have a component that utilizes the 101D? I thought you were using the Absolare Passion line stage. I'm interested in your impression of these tubes.Charles,

Hi Knghifi,I can tell you that my buddy Jeff has a large drawer full of tubes and has tried a variety of them in his VAC Signature MK II. The VAC is definitely a very fine preamp, the Absolare in his system is simply terrific and is less there ( i...

There's a new remote control version CSL available now in addition to the standard CSL-TVC. I do fine without a remote control and don't miss them. I stay in decent shape training for the 200 and 400 meter sprints for Master's track and senior Oly...

Jwm, Just as I said above, it's really implementation and design talent, but I do believe that DHT are very special musically speaking. By the way Germanboxers (Jordan) did own both of these fine preamps. Like everything concerning audio, it boils...

Hi Bigkidz,In terms of design you're preaching to the choir, I'm a hugh fan of DHT tubes and their unique characteristics and most of all their sound quality. IMO DHTs are the best choice for providing a natural , realistic and communicative repro...

Schubert,Nice. 
Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it?
Well said Mapman,We all make our choices as we see fit. I just don't need someone telling me or others what will or won't work when we've actually done the listening and report our individual outcomes. That is the ultimate test, otherwise it's onl... 
Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it?
Hi Pack, Don't understand your " mumbo jumbo" reference. I was curious and purchased the SR Quantum fuses to try myself and their use was sonically beneficial. That's all that matters for me, results. If you tried them and weren't impressed then t...
