Fairport Convention - Unhalfbricking. A&M reissue 1973, originally 1969
One thing I noticed today….how quiet the Telefunken’s are as far as minimal ‘hiss’ coming from the speakers between LP’s with the sound up, and also that they have zero microphonics. My other newly manufactured tubes suffered a bit with microphonics. You could hear it even when tapping on the headshell slightly, more so by tapping the tubes themselves. The Telefunken’s are just dead quiet. Hard to believe they can not make newer tubes ‘in mass’ with the same properties.
