| Streamer apps critical Audirvana is another very nice app, I used it for years, thought sound quality just a bit more analog in direct comparison to Roon at the time. I've also used my Euphony OS Stylus app with present setup, sound quality about on par with Roon. I... | |
| Western Electric 300B problem Forgot to mention. No white, flaking on getter, I too have seen this with some 101D tube failures. The other thing which I've failed to mention is mechanical noise from failed tube when first picked up, not that this is completely unknown previous... | |
| Western Electric 300B problem Transparent blue glow that's generally found at top of tubes is something I often see. This was a sudden flash of extremely opaque or fog like blue that enveloped entire tube, this accompanied by a loud pop through loudspeakers, I wasn't going to ... | |
| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? Long, long road to get here, two things stand out for me. Number one is I wasn't equipment churner, first thing was finding sympatico amp/speaker, from this foundation I built out systems continually seeking out the weakest link. Weak links discov... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship Seems to me issue you're having most likely pin wiring issue within Gaia or 006, suspect this to be non issue in regard to sound quality. May want to try another example of Gaia or 006 if it remains bothersome. What Tubulus model did you order... | |
| Western Electric 300B problem Upscale states on their website and with a sheet I received with tubes, "Every power tube is burned in for 72 hours before matching", I believe this based on my initial listening session. Having forgot this I was extremely surprised on 'mature' p... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship Misspoke, meant to say phase, memory of that issue came from my Joule. Back in that period of time was using highly modded Merlin VSM, Bobby and Judd's creations were very sympatico. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship If this messing with timing I'd expect you'd hear the difference when changing pin configuration. Cool, running Joule Electra. I ran LA-100 MKIII some years ago, swapped all the stock Solen caps for Jantzen Z Superior coppers on signal board, ... | |
| Western Electric 300B problem @antigrunge2 WE does test each tube and provides a test certificate with each tube, my test date 9/18/2024 so these quite recent builds. Further, Upscale claims to burn in all power tubes for 72 hours. If this true, I was hearing these tubes with ... | |
| Western Electric 300B problem I have contacted Upscale, immediate response on a Sunday! Explained the symptoms and sent a photo of tube, Jordan supposed to get back with me tomorrow. WE states returns should go through dealer if purchased at a dealer, returns direct to them fo... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @car123 Your pin settings are correct for both configurations, you should not be inverting channels. Are you sure your pre doesn't invert channels, some do. In any case I doubt the inverted channels should be introducing any extra timing errors. ... | |
| What Speaker Cables Taught Me About Audiophiles I auditioned over a number of years many brands, price levels of IC, speaker, power, digital cables through lending library at CableCompany. Cables certainly don't all sound the same, price may or may not correlate with superior performance. Beyon... | |
| Western Electric 300B problem @jayctoy I purchased these through Upscale. In ruminating on this overnight I've pretty much decided to forego another attempt with these tubes for the following reasons. 1. On considering odd smell on startup this may have been burning in... | |
| Western Electric 300B problem Thing is I heard WE had recently improved evacuation equipment, this failure betrays that. This also not the first I've heard about gassy WE300B's, red plating has also been an issue with higher plate voltages of some amps. Max rating on Acme 480... | |
| Western Electric 300B problem Forgot to mention unusual smell at both initial start ups, don't know if this from the single bad tube or both. |
