| Remotes: Who needs 'em? Mr M- Sounds like you are as pragmatic as I. All that power/convenience equipment is just 'more-stuff-to-go-wrong'/'more-money-in-their-pocket', in my experience. I like to get about 150K out of my vehicles too. I've owned the same Harley for 18 y... | |
| Lamm L2 Reference tube recommendation DHL strikes again!! I believe the have a hire-the-handicapped-gorilla corporate policy. Happy listening! | |
| Tube preamp top clearance--McIntosh or in general If you remove the top/any covers(not the bottom plate) from the pre-amp: it'll stay cooler. I've always done that with tubed gear. Never have had a problem with tube longevity, even though my gear has always resided in an enclosed, rack type cabin... | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 OOPS(typo)- Make that the Siemens E81CC(or ECC801S). | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 Mr G- The Lector is one of the only CDPs that I'd consider trading in my VK-D5 for(the Linn CD12 being the other). I was wondering- What tubes are you using in your 7T? Have you tried any of the 6201's in there? You might find that digital sucks l... | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 Well, the cat's out of the bag... (GOOD ONE- LOL!) | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 Did realjazzcat(aka tubemuseum) rip you off too Tvad? he's the only one I've been stuck by in 5 years of tube buying there. Mr G- I would pass on those CCa's. That one weaker triode section will cost you in balance, imaging and sound stage. Genera... | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 Mr G- Just in case you're looking at the CCa's on eBay: There are some tubes listed there that the seller claims are 60's vintage. They aren't! They've got the shiny plates and internal date code that indicate the very bright(strident) version. | |
| Lamm L2 Reference tube recommendation Tvad said, " he might select tubes based on availability." I'd say seven out of ten times that, and price are the primary factors in a manufacturer's choice of stock tubes. | |
| What happened to my SET amp? If it was smoking, a fuse will NOT fix it. A shorted tube can take out a resistor, etc and you have at least done that. The smoke could also indicate an expired capacitor or(hopefully not)shorted power transformer. Don't waste a fuse. Get the amp ... | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 I'm usually at Deland Airport Thanksgiving week for the Skydiving party they host every year. I was in Perry for a few months last year(whatta hole!). If you're into the music and not the tube- the CCa's for you. The pre-70's vintage just gets out... | |
| Lamm L2 Reference tube recommendation There is no substitute for the Russian 6C19P regulator(unfortunate, as the regulator of a tube pre-amp or power amp's power supply can yield much in the way of sonic improvement). The voltage reference tube(5651) can be found in a Raytheon, Sylvan... | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 Glory- Where are you located? I've got a spare pair of NOS Siemens CCa's and E188CC's we could try in your rig, if you're somewhere in Indiana. Not German- But I've bought a bunch of tubes from there over the years. The Internet makes it easy to d... | |
