| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 My rca tubes are a mix of the 40's and 50's. 6sn7's from the 50's? I am pretty sure the 6080 and 0d3 is from the 40's. | |
| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 Abruce,Perhaps it would be a draw? Perhaps both are as good as it gets and it will come down to preferences? I do know the CAST cap upgrade mentioned above made my Dude all it could be. I am in Southerm, MN if we wanted to compare..... | |
| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 Yes I have and I did find they made a difference. I had Andy at Vintage Tube Services supply me with strong nos rca's for the 6080 and od3.

| Preamps waste of money? It is a waste of money for you and some with sound preferences like you. That simple really. I must have my great active tube preamp to make music my ears and mind enjoy fully. I would be wasting my money on the rest of my stereo system without th... | |
| Selling dispute. Please comment. This thread blows my mind. Is there any hope for mankind? No kidding, is this actually being debated! All of this about a manual and wether it is a copy, color, has a coffee stain, torn corner on one page and perhaps folded in the middle.....Nothi... | |
| Preamps waste of money? My experience is the polar opposite of yours. I find an active preamp to be the heart of a good system. Any and all attempts to use a passive or volume control on the amp or source have come up way short in my experience.In my experience to not ha... | |
