| How about a "possible auction fraud alert" section How would an ad be judged, as a possible auction fraud? Because the price seems too low? Because someone doesn't think, the seller could possibly, deliver what he is promising? I purchased a Koetsu Rosewood Signature, for $300. Surely, that listin... | |
| Differences between MM or MC/Recommendations? I wish to echo, the response that Twl gave. "It is more important, that YOU LIKE, the sound, and that it mates well, with your system, than it's design". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and as you are the beholder, YOU get to say, what is be... | |
| Analog Pass Thru It would depend on whether, you are going to run an anolog signal, to your a/v processor, such as a tape, or phono. It's purpose, is to keep these signals, from being subjected, to A/D conversion, and then D/A conversion. | |
| From tubes to solid state To Rcrump, I sell Sylvania ladder plate, black plate, with the rectangular getter, NOS. You just have to know where, to look. | |
| tube match? Most often, tubes that match, within 10% is acceptable. If the numbers, came from the same tester, with the same settings, then you can use them, to match the tubes. The higher the numbers, the better, the tube tested. | |
| another tube question I'm sure, he can probably supply you, with any tube, available. This is one of the most respected names, in tubes, so you cannot go wrong. There is nothing wrong, with new production tubes, its just that their consistentcy, of manufacture, is not ... | |
| Difference between ECC88 and E88CC Tubes? The ECC88, is the European designation, for a 6DJ8. Although some manufacturers, warn against using American 6DJ8's, in their gear, because of the lower voltage handiling capabilities, they are generally,interchangeable. An E88CC, is the European ... | |
| 12ax7's Telefunken ECC83/12AX7, are good. But so are Amperex Bugle Boys, Mullard CV4004, and for that matter, Sylvania Black Plate 12AX7's. They're just different sounding. In the right system, to the right tastes, all of them will produce magic. Telefunk... | |
| 6L6 tube? The sound you get, will ultimately be determined, by the circuit, the tubes, are placed in. The American 6L6's, were so good, ie; rugged, reliable, powerful, that Mullard had to invent, a tube, to compete(the EL34) The best, is generally considere... | |
| Pre-amp tube upgrades? The tubes, you use, will ultimately determine, the sonics. There are rich warm tubes, Telefunken, Mullards, and lean, detailed tubes, Siemens. In both the pieces, you named, one would only need to insert, 2-4 tubes, to change the sonics, as these ... | |
| From tubes to solid state It doesn't matter whether the device, is thermionic, or silicon. What matters, is the enjoyment, it brings to you, when you listen. If conveinience, is the priority, then solid state, is definitely more conveinent. If sonics, is the priority, then... | |
| Oil caps-any advise on sonics? If you were going from plastic, or metal film caps, you probably would hear, a discernable difference. But both are premium oil caps, and the differences, would be subtle, and very likely be masked, by the additional lead lenth, needed to place th... | |
| Tube Hum? Sometimes tubes, will act up, hum, hiss, spit, etc., in a certain circuit, and will be dead quiet, in another. Although the 5692, is an excellent sounding tube, and should be very quiet, some circuits, will stress it, that is why the GTA, and WGTA... | |
| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? If one thinks it makes an improvement to the sonics, of his system, then why not? If you have a $1000-$3000 to invest, to improve a $100,000 system, then it makes good sense. Where it doesn't make sense, in when that $300-$800, is spent on a PC, w... | |
| 7308 tube code question All JAN tubes, were made in the USA. That was a big reason Phillips moved a factory, to America. The USN-CEP, indicates that is was JAN, made specifically for the US Navy specification. The etched codes, indicates origin, construction, model, and ... |
