MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
I’m considering one of these. Please share your thoughts, especially if you’ve heard them. I will be streaming 70% and CD’s 30%
Jazz, R&B and classical in that order are my listening habits.
My room is 20x30 and very nice acoustics.
Current system:
Dali Epicon 8, Luxman 509X, PS Audio NuWave DSD, Cambridge CXC, Shunyata interconnects & Nordost speaker cable
Thank you!!!

Singles or pairs "Z" series little warmer: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=CV-181-Z&_sacat=0&... |
I think the question of whether a Z is better than a T variant is open for discussion and might depend on other system characteristics. Don Sachs, who builds very well-respected Preamps and buys a ton of tubes from China and uses them in his equipment has a great deal of experience with these new Chinese tubes. He advised me that he believes that the T variant is better than the Z variant. I think the description that the Z variant is warmer aligns with what Don has told me. I have no experience with either of these tubes. Just trying to say that It might not be a situation where the T tube is always better than the Z tube. |
On the Amazon website for the Shuguang Treasure CV181-Z tube linked to above, in answer to someones' question about the grade of this tube, the seller responded: "The brand have three grade , General Grade,Treasure Grade(better grade) and Natural Sound(best grade), respectively. This is Treasure Grade." The CV181-T tube, like the one The Tube Store sells, is called Natural Sound. So, one would assume that this is the 'best grade' of this tube going by what the seller on Amazon stated....however that designation translates to in actual use. https://www.thetubestore.com/shuguang-natural-sound-cv181-t?quantity=1&custcol_boxed_set_option=2 |
