| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp @spacecadet65 I bought a bunch of 12AX7, 7025, 5751 and 12AT7 NOS and a couple new production variants to replace a stock JJ 12AX7 that I also found “bright and strident” in a Willsenton R800i 845. The R800i uses one 12AX7 as the V1 signal tube in... | |

| In the sand box Sand in the bottom of my Vienna Acoustics Bachs made a difference. Tighter more solid bass. There’s a plug in the bottom and a chamber built for sand. The owner’s manual describes what to, how to load em up. Also loaded up bookshelf speaker stands... | |
| The Great DAC Mystery Intense, but might explain why I like my R2R in NOS the best, and the DS in my second rig, that ASR measured @ -123 dB SINAD with filter #4, slow roll, linear phase. The least pre and post ringing mirrored impulse curve. | |

| To all you Cary SLI 80 owners, I'm looking for tube suggestions KT-88, I’ve found Gold Lion warmer vs Shuguang Nature and Treasure. Have a pair of KR Audio 300B, absolutely superb. Never heard their KT 88, I would imagine thar are also superb, however they are pricey. EL-34, I’ve found St Petersburg Svetlana ... | |
| KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes @coppy777 you've got some serious CJ gear! I think you'd really like the KR KT-88. Per verdantaudio the sound signature of the KT-88 sounds (pardon the pun) similar to the 300B XLS, very tight, controlled yet full bass, with clear, crisp, articul... | |
| KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes I think it depends on “how good” your amp is, as well as the rest of your system whether you’d experience any sonic benefit. If you’ve got a super high end single ended with no negative feedback, like Japanese Audio Note, French Jadis, VAT or PP ... |
