I've very much enjoyed the impressions of fellow Zana Deux owners on the ZD tube-rolling thread. I've tried many tubes I wouldn't've otherwise, as a result. So it seems natural that Craig's next iteration, the Balancing Act, should have its own tube-rolling thread. In Craig's own words, "Just like the 6SL7 makes a difference in the ZD, the 6SN7 can change the character of the BA. The NOS 6F8G's are all really good and worth the pain of using an adapter."
I like a Brimar in the ZD but I'm hearing that the 6SN7 Brimar can sound thin in the BA. Presently, I am listening to a NOS Russian 6H8C, and enjoying it immensely. A Brimar, a couple Tung-Sols, and an RCA or two are on the way.
Please post your impressions freely, as we are all very interested in trying out new ideas to optimize the BA.
Best to all,
