Solid state to tube
I have been a solid state guy since my start in this hobby. Over the years I have built a few systems and have used mainly older YBA seperates pre and power for my front end.
I also have a pair of musetex MT101 mono blocks from Meitner audio which I use as well.
My speakers are reference 3a lintegre
I am thinking of moving to a all tube system
. However I have little experience
I have looked at Quick Silver and a small boutique builder called Will Vincent. Have not heard anything yet. I thought I might inquire here first for any suggestions from tube savvy members
Nice! Did it come with the factory supplied tubes only, or any extra tubes passed along by the prior owner to try as well?
Some options to explore more later if desired. |
They came with tubes installed I see some extra ones but not sure if they are good.
I aimed Dan at modwright. Very impressed that he actually took the time to email back almost immediately. He mentioned a few tubes to try here is what he said "Hi, the SWL 9.0SE uses a 5AR4/GZ34 and two 5687's. Tung-Sol and Raytheon 5687's are some of the best. For the rectifier, a good Amperex, Brimar or other English GZ34 will sound best" |
@ecpninja that's good. I'd recommend following his advice him knowing the design and how different tubes respond. Also good to see he recommended those particular rectifier tubes if you don't already have them installed now. |
