Amperex Orange Globe 6EJ8/ECC88 are beautifully warm and beautiful (but I wouldn't call extremely syrupy). I have a clean matched pair in original boxes that came to me NOS (1967 or 68) last year and were very briefly used in a VAC preamp until I switched to Soviet 6N23P's. I have extensive...

If you’re close enough to visit Lampi and handle the cost, you might want to see if they have any Golden Gates that have bern traded in.

I suspect those settings determine the amount of voltage going to the tubes. If so, I wouldn't think it would be a matter of different circuits.

You didn’t say if these are NOS or used and, if the latter, when last used. In either case, an extended burn in period is needed for them to stabilize sonically. 150 hours at least for used and 275-300 for unused. That’s not playing time but time on, which makes it easier. Patience counts with...

Yes, the Horizon's over USD 30k, like ~$51K ;) The semi-Legacy models, such as the GG, are an option. Looking at HiFi Shark, there are two earlier GG's at decent prices, both parts upgraded by Lampi and with VC, and one balanced. Both seem ripe for the GG3 upgrade (Engine 11). $5K according to...

Just had an exchange with the Pres. of PCX about why no more Elrog. He said, "Silly long lead times… Very difficult to deal with (his way, or highway)"

Do you need a DC Blocker or EMI filter for a specific component? For sale is the Core Power Ground Zero in very good used condition. This is a good plug-in DC Blocker / EMI filter. Reports say far superior to the ifi DC Blocker or the Audio Lab DC Block. Best for large transformer amps and...

Thanks. Are they still selling in North America? Parts Connexion doesn't list Elrog anymore. Or did you go direct?

ER? TM?
