Glenn, it is great to see you back here and able to work on amps! I hope your health continues to hold steady.

I believe (and hope) Glenn is still around. I know Stavros speaks to him regularly but I haven't spoken to Stavros in several months. Glenn has had a lot going on in his life in additional to his health struggles. I just wish he could put a label on the box and ship it back to me.

I wish I could be involved in the discussion but Glenn has had my amp for 4 years now and I don't think I am ever getting it back. :disappointed:

The Horizon is a huge step up from the Pacific which is great as well. I traded by Pacific for an Horizon and am very pleased.

What is the best way to fix a loose tube base? The tube works fine but the base moves. I assume I should use an epoxy or silicone? Can someone recommend something?

I still follow the thread but I haven’t had my 300B for over 18 months now. :sweat:

A lot of those DHTs look like RCA/Cunningham 112A, 01As, etc. Those are really nice tubes and are very cheap. I use them in my DAC.

If I want to measure the amps and volts a 300B tube is pulling would I use a meter across the 2 heater (large) pins?

Anyone heard from Glenn recently? Just hoping his is doing ok.

Ahh!

Balanced power is still 120v. It just runs 60 in each direction without a neutral. The difference between 60 and -60 (so to speak) is 120.

New I think they are $10k. I got it used, deeply discounted. Some guy bought one and never used it. It weighs 450 lbs. Cost me $400 to have it shipped but it was a big bargain when you think about how much power conditioners cost.

Instead of using power conditioners I installed one of these which supplies power to any outlet in my house which has audio equipment. Equi=Tech 10WQ.

Darren, great job on this. Cables matter and they sound different in every system.

I actually sent you 3 USBs.

I have a Western Electric 422A tube that I am going to sell. If someone here is interested please send me a PM. The tube tests over 100+ on both sides on my Jackson 648.

Are you going to run into copyright issues if you post this on youtube? I find it close to impossible to gain meaningful sound information from low resolution youtube videos. Maybe you can find a way to make this work. Or maybe the video could just be to show the cables and talk about the...

Hopefully you will post some comments including which cables you are auditioning. Recently I purchased a Sablon Audio power cord. Most of the power cords in my main system are Audioquest Hurricanes and they are great cables. The Sablon cable may be better. It is too early to tell but it made...

I would get a pair of Mullard CV4004s. They sound great and aren't too warm. Another option would be a pair of 5751s. They have a lower mu so I would make sure they are ok. Here is a nice pair...

No. The Aurender has not been programmed to be a Roon endpoint. I have been running Roon for 9 months now. It is the best program I have used which includes Aurender's software and jriver.

The website should be working now.

For some reason the web site has been having issues. Likely an issue with their host. I have the unpowered one. My Big 7 doesn’t require power. I think the cost of the Sablon cables are 50-60% of the FTA.

I have never tried them. I am partial to Audioquest cables. They just work will in my system. There are tons of good cables out there.

What interconnects did you order? I liked the FTA USB but I didn’t think it was very different from my Sablon Audio USB.
