    Any opinions / reviews on Gemtune APPJ PA1502A

    If you're handy with a soldering iron you can make your own 6BG6 adapters using this kit (http://www.vacuumtubes.com/6BG6.html). The seller will sell the adapters separately of the 6BG6GA tubes he's selling, and may be able to assemble them for you for a fee if you ask. The SND Tube Sales...

    Guitar-fi anyone?

    My stuff. I'm a rank beginner, so right now I can only play some basic chords and vague-ishly musical sounding squanks! Ibanez RGAR42MFMT Sano 16WR Fender Vibro Champ XD

    Fostex T-X0 Massdrop edition

    I added a set of Dekoni sheepskin earpads to my T-X0 cans that I currently listen to through a Project Sunrise III hybrid amp. I think the pads help out a lot with making the bass less muddy and more accurate.

    Any opinions / reviews on Gemtune APPJ PA1502A

    I have some that will sell for decent money on the auction site and am posting time when I have time. However, I've many more, mostly TV, tubes that are nearly worthless nowadays. I have an e-mail out to a local electronics recycler to see if they will take them for disposal if I decide to go...

    Any opinions / reviews on Gemtune APPJ PA1502A

    I've hopped onto the 6BG6 bandwagon. I bought and finished building a pair of 6BG6 to 6L6 adapter kits from SND Tube Sales, then scrounged up a pair of strong-testing Tung-Sol 6BG6Gs from my stash. One is relabeled for Emerson and the numbers don't match, but after a couple of listening sessions...

    ECC31/ECC32/ECC33/ECC34/ECC35 Tube Addicts

    I don't think true ECC31s (also known by the British military designations NR73 and CV1285) were ever made by anyone but Mullard. Someone in the Feliks Elise posted a photo of a QTL-rebranded Mullard ECC31 here...

    Any opinions / reviews on Gemtune APPJ PA1502A

    I've discovered another reason I like this amp - it can bias and operate with some very weak preamp tubes. I have an authentic Telefunken ECC803S in my tube stash that tests extremely weak for emissions on my tube tester. Like, almost dead. It works great in the APPJ and sounds just as sweet as...

    Sipping a little Green Spot Chateau Montelena at the moment. Lovely stuff and a great addition to the Green/Yellow Spot family.

    Looking for Surf Metal

    I don't believe such a beast exists, though undistorted metal sounds a lot like surf rock. Especially black metal. There's a few of these undistorted metal songs floating around YouTube. Played straight Sacred Reich's Surf Nicaragua and M.O.D's Surfin' M.O.D. are the closest things I can...

    Project Ember Tube Rolling

    Any ECC88/6DJ8/6922/7308 will work in the Ember. 7DJ8/PCC88 too. 12DJ8/8416 will not work since those are 12V tubes. I haven't had any channel imbalance issues when using 6DJ8s in my Sunrise except when there's a major imbalance in emissions or transconductance between the two triodes, but...

    ECC31/ECC32/ECC33/ECC34/ECC35 Tube Addicts

    I have a Mullard CV1285 (military ECC31) that I sometimes use in my Project Sunrise III amp. At 950mA the heater draw is a little over the 900mA rated supply current of the Sunrise, but so far the laptop-style power supply is holding up. I use a ECC31 to ECC88 (6DJ8) adapter to make it work in...
