If you live in the south, yep.
Can one have too many tube components in a system?
Especially if one has sensitive speakers? For myself with ZU Omen defs, I have to keep an eye on the gain of the amps I choose since my BHK runs tubes. If gain is too high, tube hiss becomes an issue. However, I see people with tubed amp, tube pre, tubed phono pre, tubed dac......doesn't the tube his (just like tape hiss every time you copy a tape over and over) intensify with every component? Or to pull this off one needs less efficient speakers?

@oldhvymec I loved that response! Most of those that use multiple of tube components know what they are doing. I am still exploring. |
The talented Telefunken, the magnificent Mullard Blackburn, or the rare and rich RCA BP. Long live the 12AX7 Know thine tubes, to thine own tubes be true. 50 years with Mac June of this year. I just got my C2500 back Telefunkens are goin in. Mcintosh USA (made in China) JJ are coming out. I don't trust anybody with my pridefully and pricy handpicked Telefunkens.. :-) 1000.00 for a great set of 6, 3 pair is a lot more likely. 4-600.00 Amperx, Valvo and Mazda are might good too. Here's a bone. Solvex 12AX7 (sufix W) NOS and confirm with your dealer. It will go toe to toe with the best RCA ever made. Second, they will outlast everything and sound good AFTER you drop it on the floor. One tough valve. It's a mill-spec black plate for extreme vibration / shock. Survive a nuke I hear. The pilot won't but the MIG will be fine.. :-) |
