Who out there is a trust worthy tube dealer that can outfit my sonic frontiers line 2 preamp. I am lacking bass and high end sparkle. Is there an nos product tha will better my system?
Dave: Try emailing Lonplate. He will be receiving some stock that may be just what you are looking for. Also what tubes are installed in the amp now and do you have any idea as to how many hours are on them?
Maybe they are spent as the Sovteks usually do vocals last on the list. When they are on the down side they start to sound bright (brittle) and thin. Is this what you are experiencing? The Audioasylum.com tube forum should have the search feature back up next week. Try doing a search under your amp and see what people are using in it with good results (other than Sovteks). This will give you an idea, anyway, of what to look for.
Kevin at Upscale Audio has steered me in the right direction a couple of times when I "needed" NOS tubes for my VTL gear. He did not make an issue out of the fact that I'd not purchased any actual gear from him. Also, Upscale is a Sonic Frontiers dealer, so I would think that Kevin would definitely be able to give you good feedback on choosing tubes. -Chris
No Kevin Deal wouldn't deal with me because I hadn't purchased my gear through him. He didn't have it in stock at the time I wanted it and didn't give me a time it would be in.
