| Cary SLI-80 Signature - Tube Recommendation here is a good resource for data on 6SN7's, and their charcteristics: (http://home.att.net/~chimeraone/6sn7sound.html) If you desire clean, accurate sound(no added warmth): find a pair of BOTTOM GETTERED Ken-Rad JAN CKR or Sylvania JAN CHS, VT-231... | |
| Pathos In Power - Tubes???? The first owner may have had a source device that had a higher voltage output than he appreciated. The 12AU7 would have exhibited a slightly lower gain than the 12AX7. He may have preferred the sound of that tube, to what was provided by the desig... | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 The best way I can describe the difference is, "more organic". ie: Vocals sounded more as though they were coming from an actual body(chest resonance), upright bass had a woodier body resonance, I could hear more skin and stick on drums, could sen... | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 Replace the AC Main fuse first, and if you appreciate the differences that makes(a VERY likely probability); replace the rail fuses as well. Happy listening! BTW- NONE of my HI-FI Tuning fuses are coming out either. | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not Elberoth2, et al- Read these procedural descriptions, and see how they compare with ARC's: (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/rare/tpm.htm) (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/rare/noisetest.htm) Then compare the prices on a matched set of tubes. I've been buy... | |
| Where to find Black Gate 1000uf 25V caps? Parts Connexion Has Black Gate FKs listed in 1000uF/50V, which would be an excellent option. They also have 1000uF/25V in the "standard" Black Gate. (http://www.partsconnexion.com/t/catalog/CapacitorsElectrolytic.html) Click on, "Black Gate", at t... | |
| Have any VAC owners tried any KT-88's There's no confusion. Some info: (http://www.stereophile.com/news/022304svetlana/#) It is important to know from whom you are puchasing tubes though, and whether those tubes are being honestly represented. There are some Russian tubes out there th... | |
| 2 sextets of KT88s or a matched dozen for Defy7 ? Upscale Audio will match as large a set of tubes as you require: (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/rare/tpm.htm) Their screening, burning, and matching procedures are second to none. I've been purchasing my power tubes from Kevin for quite a few years,... | |
| Have any VAC owners tried any KT-88's YES- Svetlana(AKA Winged 'C'/SED St Petersburg)) has been making KT88s since(AT LEAST) 1999. I was using their EL34s in my ST-70, over 16 years ago. | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? Whatever you end up with, load it with NOS Mullard, Brimar, or Genelex tubes, and you should have all the sumptuous warmth your little heart desires. If your equipment takes any 6SN7's: Try either RCA black plates, or National Union(both VT-231's)... | |
| HiFi tuning fuses, some benefits help Depending on your view of a power amplifier's operation, the AC line fuse can be considered directly in the signal path. The voltage/current taken from the wall/AC line is converted to DC, stored in filter capacitors and is connected to your speak... | |
| Black Gate caps Rja- Read the 'Industry Update' that I cited in my post(second URL). That was speculation(very plausible), but nothing else was ever mentioned as to why production was ceased, outside of a rumor of problems between Jelmax Co.,Ltd. and Rubycon Corp. | |
| Black Gate caps Taiwan(China or anyone else) has NEVER(yet) manufactured ANYTHING that can compare to the Rubycon Black Gates, in sound OR technology. We(modders) lost a valuable resource when they discontinued the line. Read: (http://www.acoustic-dimension.com/b... |
