| Gold Lion KT77 tubes for Primaluna Amp - a few questions I will say all my GL KT-77s have sounded great but the tubes I've bought from Upscale have been the most reliable and lasted the longest. | |
| Not Mine...Quad ESLs 57s in North Fl/South GA Wow $1000! Someone go get those! | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report @Trevah I really liked how your largest model, Krypton maybe, I bet they would sound even better with higher quality electronics behind them. The Benchmark sounded fine but I am sure their ceiling is higher. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report One amusing moment in the Odyssey room wandered in lights were off weird techno music playing the room lit but little lantern things. The combo of darkened room the weird lighting and clicks and chirps of "music" made me almost burst out laughing.... | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report @mapman I also really liked the Fritz Carerra the imaging was spectacular and nice implementation of the Be tweeter it wasn't bright at all. Very natural tonality top to bottom and great bang for the buck. | |
| Trumpeteer Roy Hargrove passes at 49. Agreed an awful loss and at such a young age RIP Roy. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report Correction to my above post the driver in the Charney Audio room was an AER not Lowther. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report I was there yesterday only for about 5 hours and thought overall things sounded better last year than this year. A few rooms I really liked:Charney Audio really lovely sounding system not sure the exact model of speaker but one of the best impleme... | |

I traded a pair of Alon Lotus SE's for a pair of JMlabs Micro-Utopias following a move to my current... | |
| Problem related to Push-Pull or EL34? @lowrider is correct those measurements are totally fine and if you think your amp sounds better than LM I would say keep it and be happy. | |
| Personal vs. Market Values Yes there is real truffle oil and there is fake truffle oil. And yes white truffles are absolutely amazing especially with scrambled eggs or anything with eggs really. | |
| Problem related to Push-Pull or EL34? @simna Yes he answered my email this was some time ago maybe about 4-5 years ago. I have since changed my email and don’t have the correspondence any longer but it was the Tube Technology contact email; contact@tubetechnology.co.uk so I don’t know... | |
| Problem related to Push-Pull or EL34? Oh ok I saw their website was still up but hard to tell if they were still in business. Are you in the US or elsewhere? If you are in the US, or even not, perhaps try reaching out to Zia Faruqui through Manley? I corresponded with him once years b... | |
| Which EL34 is your favorite and why? Genalex Gold Lion KT77 reproductions are to me hands down the best sounding current production EL34 type. The tube is a drop in replacement for EL34's in most but not all amps so double check with LM. | |
| Personal vs. Market Values Truffle oil is for drizzling and finishing not for cooking. I am a bit surprised you can't taste it the flavor is very strong and distinct. Have you ever tried it just on its own to get an idea what it tastes like? |
