| 6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea? I would be very cautious but if it’s a go by Cary look at Garage 1217 tube adapters vey nice quality. If you buy from tube depot or Garage 1217 make sure you don’t push the adapter tube pins to far down in the amps tube sockets, just make sure you... | |
| Auralic Vega G2 or Denafrips Pontus II 12th + streamer? That’s funny “you don’t want a brick in a couple years” if so I would keep it separate. I’m where you are now. I got into streaming over a year ago and prefer my records but streaming is so easy. I’m using Auralic steamers, I started with Aura... | |
| Gustard R26 - good but not the one I don’t understand how to compare a 5 year old dac to a 3 day old dac. I would guess at 3 days it would sound possibly it’s worst ever. I owned a used Qutest for a few months. I’m not sure it would best a nice r2r dac, at least for my personal tas... | |
| Crossover Redo on my Amrita Audio Floorstanders Clarity cap CMR’s and Mills resistors or Path can be a nice option maybe start off on tweeter section. There are a lot of nice caps out there. just need to know if you like the Juniper or Vcap sound or what’s in between. Do the best you can wit... | |
| Does anyone repair.... Sounds like bad cap in power supply | |
| Does anyone repair.... I believe a call to Wilson audio couldn’t hurt. They have moved to Across the lake and are now more focused on repair than ever before. | |
| Plinius repairs Have you checked the set screw on the knob? Sounds like knob is pushed in to far and knob has friction with faceplate. If you loosen set screw pull knob back very slightly then tighten down set screw knob should move freely. I’m not familiar with ... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? Glad to see I’m not the only one still enjoying their old cables. I still rotate my Audience au24 speaker and interconnects, Bob Crumps TG Audio solid core silver speaker cable and silver power cords. XLO signature interconnects, JPS power cords, ... | |
| Can a tube short without blowing? I had a Mullard xf2 with maybe 1000 hours glow bright red and left channel went out. Opened amp up it was a blown fuse. Did not have extra fuses so called Conrad Johnson to order some. What shocked me was CJ told me to put the same tube back in... | |
| Help with Cary SLP-98 I have some 6sn7 socket savers but they all seem like not the greatest quality. Garage 1217 makes some very nice quality tube adapters, ceramic and gold plated pins. Not sure if they have socket savers. I had their 6sn7 and 6922 adapters for a MHD... | |
| Preamp has too much gain I had a preamp with a Goldpoint stepped volume pot with too much gain and installed Takman resistors on the pot and fixed the problem. | |
| Any love for the Gentalex Gold Lion 12ax7 gold pin? I’ve spent some time with the GL gold pins now. Why when something is new it is exciting to listen to only to discover with time and comparing back to back to well regarded vintage tubes it is lacking. The GL is not a bad tube but compared to Tele... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. Dehavilland Ultraverve, 6sn7 preamp if you can find one. | |
| joule la150mkII- preamp If you still need help cal Rich at Signature Sound he has taken over the Joule line. Real nice guy he will be glad to help you out, he’s very familiar with your amp. | |
| Any love for the Gentalex Gold Lion 12ax7 gold pin? After spending a couple days with the Gold Lion started noticing soundstage was more focused in the center. Put RCA’s in and soundstage went beyond speaker boundaries and that’s no warm up, maybe I posted to soon. I still like them but better than... |
