| Top resistors After 60 hours the the Vishay TX2575 are starting to sound really nice. That crispness that the AN Tants had in the hi frequenies that was bothering me is not present in the Vishays. The high end seems very natural. So far there is richness, natur... | |
| Top resistors The Vishays arrived and I installed them in the 6C6 cathode position. Will report back in a week after some burn in time | |

| Top resistors Prcinka, Cant find much info on how the Amtrans AMRG sound. Can you shed some light? | |
| Top resistors The AN Tants I borrowed are the previous version of the AN type; Audio Note is now making a newer version with non-magnetic copper end caps.I am going to get the TX2575 and be mindful that if I hear too much hi end emphasis there may be something ... | |
| Top resistors And perhaps I have been over compensating for the warm A-B's by doing things like removing the grid caps. I will check with the guy who lent me the Tants to see how old they are. I do know they were fully broken in since he had been using them in ... | |
| The Lawyers Have Taken Over Audio Whart,I agree. Here in Brooklyn, There is a sort of vinyl renaissance going on. A smart hi fi shop would be all over this with just the kinds of things you are talking about. In Living Stereo recently had a listening night featuring the Beatles re... | |
| Top resistors Salectric,I put the A-B's back in after trying the tants. I dont understand it either but the high frequency emphasis was undeniable. That is why I mentioned in my post that it could be something peculiar in my system. For instance, I pulled the c... | |
| The Lawyers Have Taken Over Audio My thought turns to spending time with my sister over Christmas and her plans to make a dedicated listening room. Imagine my excitement that I could help her "upgrade" a few components to increase her listening enjoyment. So we go upstairs and tur... | |
| Top resistors I have been using Allen Bradley 2watt 1k for the Cathode resistor. (R6 on the Joe Roberts 91a Schematic).A friend lent me 2 watt AN tantalums. Wow the detail is addictive..really natural, warm and beautiful. The only problem in my particular syste... | |
| What is best way to learn to build own equipment? Build a Spud amp kit. Jerry Curtis offers one. This amp is distributed by Hawthorne Audio. You may enjoy reading about their open baffle speakers which could also be a nice DYI project. | |
| Hey Tube Rollers - Thoughts on Shanguang Psvane? Got Psvane 300b's from partsconnexion. They have 250 hours so far. Sound pretty good and making music, but missing some transparency. Good extended low/high frequency response. Not yet as enjoyable as my Sophia Mesh.The Psvanes probably need more ... | |
| Hookup wire for tube amplifier? Dracule1,Could you put into words what you mean by "Zing"?I listen to alot of classical and in the bow of the string I sometimes notice something that sounds sort of plastic. I should say, I notice it very infrequently. Larryi, Sounds like your pr... | |
| Hookup wire for tube amplifier? How do you like the Duelands? The TFTF V-caps sound good but sometimes I think I hear the teflon. (might be my imagination :)) May try AN copper caps. | |
| Hookup wire for tube amplifier? Dracule,Would love to see pictures of your amp and system. Bet is sounds wonderful. That Goldpoint attenuator was a good move. Nice that copper is working for you. I dont think there is a one way. I am conituing to add silver little by little. The... |
