Got my new tubes today.. The sound is different...I think it sounds better now..

Quote: Thanks! found the GE 5654W there for a fairly cheap price.

Quote: Do you have an example or two of places I can get some tubes?  I see tubes on Ebay but they do seem $$$ and come from overseas

anyone use these guys? http://www.vacuumtubes.net/ I emailed them and they said they can do matched pairs for an extra $2 a tube...so $6 a tube plus shipping

Anyone?

ok, I swapped the small tubes and the noise changed sides..So, I guess that answers that..I need some new small ones ef95s   Any cheap but good places to buy em? fast delivery would be awesome lol

Quote: The small tube or the large one? 

Well, I'm going to order some tubes for the amp... The smaller tubes are the ef95 type...was gonna order cv4010's The larger tubes I Don't see anywhere on the forums what they are or what to use.   Looking at the tube I see 6C19-J and some Chinese writing(guessing lol) Will the Russian...

Today, I was listening to music and heard a static kind of white noise on the left side. I have a La Figaro 332S amp. It's has always been dead silent until today.   How and what do I check to see whats up with it?   The source turned off and I still hear the noise. I listen through...

Quote: Yeah, the D1 is great for what I use it..The computer and my blu-ray player for movies..I use the optical input for each as the sound seemed a lil better on the pc through the optical vs the usb   Yeah, later in life I wore hearing protection but by then dmg was done.   ...

hmm, I will try all the way on the Dac...The manual said the rca outputs were for powered speakers n stuff like that..So, I thought it would work but I dunno... I hear ZERO distortion at levels most people would not listen to. Slight hearing probs from shooting guns most of my life.

Another question...I have an Audioengine D1 I am using as my DAC. With the RCA's out the back when I turn the volume on the D1 the sound level changes on the 332 amp on what I hear. I have it at mid level right now on the D1...Should that be max, mid, 90% or until you hear any noise then back...

Gotta thank everyone who said get the DT880. They are very comfy, got good bass without sounding like a subwoofer boom. The highs are nice and tight.. I will find out this weekend how they stand up to 8hr wear athon

Ok, was told they are heat tubes...to get the heat up and away. Can take em off or leave em on.
