@sruffle Yes, Just to be on the safe side? Apply slowly and 1 location at a time and watch "your child" grows. LOL Monitor it and take notes for each of those locations If you do all at 1 time ...the fun can soon be over. And, if there are side effects, you won’t know which locations to look into first. |
@nasaman thanks for the response. I will plan to take it slow to make sure that I continue to like the response. |
Day 2 went very bland and dark for some reason. Figured part of it might be the reseating of the MC-05’s. Had not touched them for around 1000 hours. Anyway, got impatient tonight and treated most of the rest of my system . IC’s, HFC RCA phono destination adapters, amp to speaker bananas. WOW...in 5 minutes of all tube warmup, the difference was remarkable. The midrange and highs are right there, very clear,but not fake or analytical . Finally, as someone who very humbly has a lot of experience with live, acoustic music, my only complaint at this early juncture is a skewing of the tonal signature slightly away from richness to lean. But again, we're only talking about Day 3 and I'm excited to see what happens in the next few months.

The only thing left is the SR purple amp fuse and the preamp and power amplifier pins. I don’t have enough information to feel safe on any of that. Regarding the small signal tubes, my 3 preamps are all vintage...VTL Deluxe, Quicksilver Full Function, and the one I’m currently using, the CJ PV-5. I can treat the pins but will that cause damage to the old tube sockets? I’m more inclined to try treating my large signal KT120’s (Rogue). Same question applies but the tube sockets are more modern. Guess I can try to contact Ted on how to apply this stuff to his fuse. |
