I'm thrilled that so many of you are pleased with the 6CB6A tubes!  I'm happy that after a decade of forum lurking I was finally able to contribute something to such a great community!   After reading many posts here, I believe I'm going to break down and buy a few 6N6P tubes.  Is there a...

Quote:   Gladly .  I bought my tubes on ebay from desireme1979.  I just looked at his store and he currently does not have any more GE tubes, but does have a few Raytheon 6CB6A tubes.   Also, there is an interesting...

Quote: Apologies.  I will try my best as I have never attempted anything like this before...   Compared to CV131s, the treble presented is much cleaner and detailed without much sibilance.  Vocals really shine through.  Bass is present and not muddy or overpowering.  I get a wider sense...

    I bought these little guys a few weeks ago and after 50+hrs of burn in they have replaced Mullard CV131s as my default "go-to" tube.  I have not read much of anything about rolling with the 6CB6A series of tubes and they can currently be had VERY cheap.  I received both of these for $5...

Any opinions on 6CB6A tubes?  I just got a deal on 2 GE NOS tubes that was too good to pass up and am curious if anyone had any experiences.  Been using Mullard CV131's for a couple of years now and am thinking it is time for a change...

Entered.  *crosses fingers*

I absolutely am in love with my DT880's, but the stock wire leaves a lot to be desired... it looks so thin.  Are these worth recabling with canare or mogami mini quad wire?

The iPod ear buds come free.  Also, when all most people listen to are low bitrate top-40 hit mp3 that have probably been transcoded multiple times from some generic p2p program what difference can you really tell with higher quality headphones?

Quote:   1/8 inch just came in.  Just a little bit too small for the 2893.  For anyone interested, looks like 1/4in.  is the correct size    

Thanks!

I was looking recabling soon too.  Very helpful thread.  What size nylon sleeving should I use for the mogami w2893?

I'm glad to see that Nick at Leckerton is still producing dac/amps.  I bought a UHA-3 2 years ago and still love it!  Looks like I could expect the same build quality out of the UHA-4...

Quote: I've had the Little Dot MKIII for 2 years now.  I received the DT880 600ohms for Christmas.  These two sing together.  Mind you, I have rolled to Mullard CV131 tubes but I have used my stock EF95 tubes and they sound amazing with the amp too.  I listen to a lot of live soundboard...
