Post ex-2045 [I see it's disappeared & there's a new one] above is clearly spam & has been duly reported. The French is a random extract from an online contract & the links speak for themselves. Tiresome.- bruce108

70 is very high. Try a higher gain setting, unless you're already maxed out. That should reduce the need for volume - and thr problem. Mine (on about 50, gain setting 5) is dead silent into 600ohm Beyers.- bruce108

Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide
On the Telefunken EK90s. At first, mine were not so much treble-forward as bass-light and overall a bit thin-sounding, if refined and musical (EF95). But after 40-50 hrs they became a dramatically different tube, excellent bass in quantity and quality and well-balanced through the FR. Here's the...- bruce108

Quote: I have Sylvania JAN 6AU6WB/WC and a pair of Mazdas on the way from NOS TubeStore. Those prices are silly: I paid $8 ea. for the Mazdas, $4 for the Sylvanias. Not even sure if I should have ordered them now that my TLF EK90s have burnt in (yes, 40-50 hours). Another heptode...- bruce108

These guys appear to be scrap merchants, which I think means anything and everything, mostly metal. They're way out of whack with the tube market (esp postage) so it's possible that they simply don't know what they're doing.- bruce108

I'm following in the wake here guys, and very grateful to everyone who's done all this awesome work. Graduated from the regular pentodes to Tung-Sol 6AH6WA and thought the performance of the amp went up a whole class or two. Then came the first heptode, Telefunken EK90, and it got even...- bruce108

The Little Dot Mk IV / SE Impressions Thread
Anyone help with a tube question? I have a MKIV SE which came with some tubes marked as follows: 000-4010 CV-4010 KQDD/K 81/27 I understand that these are Mullard tubes, and I want to sell them as such - but they don't carry the Mullard stamp. Is that a problem?- bruce108
