| Whats playing on your system today? Glad y'all are liking Robin's stuff with Jack. You might also like RT's work on Procol Harum's Broken Barricades LP. (but you probably already know that one). I'll have to look for his latest release. Thanks for the heads up, radfrad. | |

| AYON KT-SX Tube quality (failure rate?) Vic - I was going with what they had written under Features for the Ayon Triton III (see below).If it's working right, what you describe sounds like a pretty slick biasing system.Signal PathWe believe that the simplest circuits work best together ... | |
| Suggest affordable cable options Check The Cable Co. on-line to get an idea about prices. They carry new as well as used cable. I see Acoustic Zen Satori speaker cable listed at $708 for a new 5 ft pair. | |
| Does dry-brushing really do anything... I use a Hunt brush with a spritz of distilled water from a re-purposed eyeglass cleaner spray bottle. This is the kind of bottle you get at the optometrist and puts out a very fine mist. Once empty of the eye glass cleaning solution, rinse thoro... | |

| AYON KT-SX Tube quality (failure rate?) Vic - what's the story on biasing for the Ayon? Is it mainly auto but allows some manual tweaking or override? Proper bias obviously critical to maximizing tube life. Again, good luck. | |

| AYON KT-SX Tube quality (failure rate?) Sorry Vic, I misunderstood what tubes were failing. Thought the Ayon tubes were re-labelled Gold Lions. I agree with jond's guess about the identity of the Ayon stock "Treasure" tubes. Given the stock tubes are something other than Gold Lion, I... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Opera Consonance Cyber 800EL34 driven monoblocks. Good looking, good sounding and reasonably priced. Not well known. Reviewed here:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue34/opera_cyber800.htm | |
| AYON KT-SX Tube quality (failure rate?) Why not start a separate inquiry about Gold Lion KT88 reliability, specifically? I'm thinking having AYON in the title might be a little "mis-leading". Maybe other non-Ayon/GL KT-88 tube users are having similar issues...just a thought. |
