I strongly recommend getting a NOS Mullard 12AU7 for the center tube slot which is the main preamp tube. The stock JJ tubes are bright and not as musical as the Mullard. Best wishes

@larry5729 ok , my question is about amplification. Not about the speakers. |
I’ve got the Cronus Magnum II and love it. Both it and my speakers, Ohm Walsh 5000 make magic with an ancient used LP War’s The World is a Ghetto. Acoustic, like Gillian Welch, Vanessa Fernandez, is sublime, but it really shines with busy percussion. I might even get into my wife’s Bob Marley collection. Enjoy! |
@larry5729, No one was asking about your impression of the speakers, he already owns them, so why diss them? I had the original Cronus Magnum with the KT120 tubes.. I tube rolled, had 2 Mullard NOS 4003 tubes and can't remember what I went with for the other 3 tubes. I always felt the sound was a little bit grainy and found it to be the KT120 tubes. I tried EL34 tubes but didn't like the too polite tone. I sold the amp after a year. |
