BAT VK-P10SE Owners -- What NOS tubes?
I am far from the best expert on all the options here and I sold my P10SE about 2 years ago. I do miss it sometimes, it's stregnths, especially in the midband are excellent. The middle 2 6922's in the rear are the most critical, then the outer 2 6922's. Matching is critical here both each tube and the sections in the triodes. I used the JAN military versions, hit dynamics and detail (better stage) very nicely for me. At the time I was using a Lyra Skala or Helicon which I believe have similar output as your Dyna... Also, power cords and isoliation help out this phono stage (like most). I liked the Purist Audio Designs cords best when I had my bat phono. The dominus ferrox or 20th anniversary. |
It has been a while and I wanted to resurrect this thread. I got myself an used BAT VK-P10SE and it is 8 years old and I was told changing tubes is an good idea. To my dismay the choices are bewildering and so are the prices for some of the tubes. I am looking $50 to $500 per pair of tubes. It is just shocking to me!. I am hoping someone who read this thread or the OP went thorough this journey and found tubes at are reasonable and can last a while and are what the AMP designers intended. I like transparent sound, like amps and pre-amps to be true to source. What tubes should I replace it with?. Any pointers to cost to value is much appreciated. |
For the 6C45 I was wondering if I can get these on ebay. |
