Thats great! I have a pair of Raytheon tubes that I have held off cleaning the pins until GG's great kit arrives, thanks again GG!

 

[GermanGuy]

just found out that the
 
DL91 / 1S4 / 1S4T tubes can be modified in the same way as the 1L33 tubes to be used as DL 92 !!!
 
lots of offers on ebay, bought a NOS NIB Matched Pair RCA USA 1S4 Silver Plate Top Fat D Getter Vacuum Tubes for just 5 USD$.
 
will test and report!

 

[ianmedium]

Wow GG, your really opening up the possibilities for this amp, thank you!

 

[GermanGuy]

oh, thanks! i hope (this tubes are the predecessors of the dl92's) they sound even better as these tubes are from the early 40's ? the older - the better!

GG, your package of the cleaning kits has just arrived.
Haven't get a chance to open it yet, though.
 
Once again, I would like to thank you for all the efforts you've done to make it happens.
 
So, for our friends in Asia please contact me if you would like to have the tube cleaning kits by a courtesy of GermanGuy.
 
Cheers...

Yay, just saw my amp cleared customs in Japan and is on the road to Shikada san!

Thank you again also GG, the kit arrived today and I have sent you a PP payment.

Great tracks bmichels. I found this site with music from The Nucc. Interesting site, new to me: http://www.gettyimages.com/music/artists/52000-the-nucc
 
Alex Hepburn is fantastic. Makes me think of what Robert Plant would have sounded like if (s)he were Roberta Plant.

 

[ianmedium]

Agreed, great tracks GG, the second and third are my favourites, the last brings back many happy memories of a brilliant comedy duo who were huge in the UK for many many years. Morcambe and Wise. Here is a link to their version of bring me sunshine and I encourage you check out their other routines if you want a big smile!

[GermanGuy]

great! reading your inventory, isn't there a new player on the list?

 

[ianmedium]

There is indeed GG!
All being well and allowing for customs it should be here on Friday. I thought long and hard about the choice, I was so close to getting the 901 but then a few reviews in the British press and the fact it plays DSD which I have heard on a number of occasions, mainly in the studio tipped me over the edge to getting the 120.

Of course, now I have to wait two or three weeks until my amp comes back to hear it with a high quality amp but I think I can pass the time OK right out of the unit!

 

[GermanGuy]

so now you have the choice between a chateau mouton and a chateau lafite

 

[ianmedium]

Thats a great way of putting it, though the 801 is destined to be given to my girlfriend in Vienna when she visits next month, she loved the sound of it when she heard it last month so it will be a little surprise for her!

 

[Boringer]

Guys, I'm sorry for giving a false information.
 
My enthusiasm colored my logic.
When I received the package last evening, I immediately thought it was came from GG (with couple obvious silly reasons).
I was so excited to bring out the news, hence I wrote the post above.
Never come to my mind to check it once again or to open it last night.
I just kept it for a night and planned to open it this morning.
 
And as you may expected, when I opened it this morning it turned out that the package was not from GG.
 
Oh boy... I so embarrassed... 

 

[Boringer]

Ian, congratz on your new oncoming AK120.
It will be very interesting to see your view soon between the 801 and 120.
