Tube Rolling for TAD-150

Hoop,

Did you try Siemens-Halske X7's or Sylvania T7-WA's (3 mica). If so...thoughts?

Fishboat,

Siemans, No. Sylvanias, yes (may have been double micas though). I would have to dig to make sure. The Sylvanias I thought were very good. Nice detail but a little less body than the Telefunkens to my ears. But, I could have lived with them. I guess the reason I liked the Telefunkens was becasue they seemed to strike a balance between detail and body. I have not tried Valvos either and would have been interested in them as well as the Siemens. Bugle Boys seemed pleasant, but ultimately too bright after extended listening. Gosh, I just finally had to stop somewhere with the rolling-my wife threatened the UPS guy as well as me! she became much to aware of a potential box that may have a pair of tubes...

I ordered a pair of the Tung Sol reissues from Doug. I will review after I have had a chance to listen to them.

Eagleman,

What do you think of the Tung Sol reissues?
