| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Sounds like me. I should have stocked up on TungSol 6SN7GT/VT-231 Round Plates($50.00 ea, when I fell in love with them) while I had the chance. I was going to use three 6201's as phase splitter/drivers, but gave up on that amp after getting burne... | |
| Audience Telfon Auricaps RE: The AuriCaps- What Mr B said, +1. Ditto his comments, RE: Paper in oil as coupling caps(unless you enjoy the colorations/lack of PRaT they offer). Enough of them, combined as a filter bank in a power supply, can add dynamics/effortlessness in ... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Mr N- Since you mentioned 6201's: I bought four for an amp I was building a few years back, but never used them. I sent two to an AudiogoNer to try, and he bought them. I've still got the other pair, if anyone wants to try them out(free-no strings... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Then you disagree, not with me, but the specifications of the tube itself: (http://www.boiaudioworks.com/5751) (http://www.tubedepot.com/5751.html) paragraph 5 of this page:(http://www.guitaramplifierblueprinting.com/files/Phaseinverter.pdf) (http... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Clipper- You'll have to turn your volume control up a bit to get the same SPLs with the 5751, as they have about 30% less gain than 12AX7s. Their "tone" is also a bit more laid back(richer/smoother/warmer-more 2nd order harmonics) than most 12AX7s... | |
| Improving your BAT 150SE This will give you an idea of the V-Cap pricing structure: (http://www.partsconnexion.com/catalog/CapacitorsFilm.html) I've got soft-recovery FREDs in my mono tube amps, SS woofer amp, and TacT 2.2X. Don't hesitate to upgrade your power supply's r... | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? Iron interconnects, treated with unobtainium, become so transparent they can also be used as optical digital cables. The never wear out, or oxidize, once treated. Their only weakness is a propensity to attract spurious trepidary bipeds(from thread... | |
| Are contact treatments worth the money? Obviously you aren't a Marine! I'm certain that Leatherneck(whom I was addressing) got my joke. If you're too deaf or blind to hear, see or appreciate the differences that SST MOST CERTAINLY makes, it's a shame. NO DOUBT though- You've NEVER tried... | |
| Advice on stacking equipment The 'Inverse Square Law' states that the strength of a magnetic field diminishes in proportion to the square of the distance. In other words: Your components' separation needn't be large when they're placed side by side. The transformers, micropro... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Happy listening! | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... To quote Bicycle man, "It's a pity to think that good current production 12ax7's are so lame -- what to do when it is time to buy new tubes?", which is what I was responding to. Where in that post was "saving money" mentioned again? FYI: The EAT c... | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? Musicnoise puts the "fun" back in this dysfunctional thread. | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... I've dealt with this eBay seller(from Bavaria) numerous times, and found him to be an educated, honest and reliable source for Teles and Siemens:(http://cgi.ebay.com/1-NEW-Tubes-Siemens-Halske-Rohre-E88CC-6922-CCa_W0QQitemZ130276323952QQihZ003QQca... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Here's the only new production 12AX7 worth thinking about, if you are able to appreciate the differences/improvements in sonics that the right NOS tubes provide(and it's obvious you do): (http://www.musicdirect.com/product/73403) With regards to E... |
