Geoffkait, thank you for your response.
Help me decide on cryo option.
Hi everyone,
I'm planning to replace the sixteen EL34s in my cj mono-blocks. Even though there seems to be a consensus that output tubes make relatively little contribution to the sound of an amp, at least when compared to the small tubes, I would still like to get this right. I'm pretty well set on the Sventlana Winged C's but here's the thing: The source I'm intending to use offers a regular quad for $92.80 and a cryoed quad for $164.80. With sixteen tubes, I don't consider the price difference chump change. I realize this all comes down to value judgments that no one can really make for me, but I sure would appreciate any opinions and experiences. Thanks in advance.

Phaelon: When I inquired about the SED el34 cryos at ( tubedepot.com )I was told they would definately be sweeter in sound..but in my system they made me also change other ( brighter ) tubes to offset the extra warmth that the cryod el34 were giving me..I then went back to my Original SED el34 quads and I got back the detail and midrange I was used to...For me it was a bust..For double the cost it aint worth it.....For me anyway! |
I know that Micheal Wolff ((who makes the Wolff cables http://www.wolffaudio.com ) hates cryo. Check Cryo suppresses dynamics and rolls off highs |
