Tube Flavor
Few years back i would stand that NOS tubes or tube rolling could bring nirvana. After spending so much money and time i came to the point that it is not that big deal after all. Still though some of them do worth to try but proceed with caution.There are better ways to spend in your system. Good thing i made a profit selling all those nos tubes and learned so much about them. |
@b_limo the only person that has given solid advice in this thread is Miller & Phill. Go to Dave at Raven the rest of these keyboard engineers do not know spit about Raven integrated. Here is a link to Dave’s faves for the Avian Series Integrated’s. I would not listen to any of these boobs here on this site. https://www.ravenaudio.com/community/vintage-tubes/daves-favorites-for-all-avian-series-integrated-a... |
IMO I don't think matching brands through the system matter. I do think it it very important to match right and left in each stage of the process. This is not only matching brand but having each tube tested so they are within specs of each other. Most sellers will sell as matched pairs and show test results. I run two different brands in my preamp. NOS bad boys on the gain stage really opened the sound stage and compliment the factory tubes in output stage. Enjoy the journey and love the music. |
