Yeah! That's what I assumed too. Not his fault for sending me white ones at all; he was totally great. But I should have made that clear to begin with.- DowdyPrime

BTW, if you are looking for adapters, a long-time member of these forums, @Deyan, makes some. He will also make them taller, so they are easier to remove from the LP than more standard, shorter adapters. Dealing with him was super-smooth and fast. My only advice is that you ask if he can make...- DowdyPrime

My power plug looks exactly the same. I assumed this was intended or, at least, a benign use of available but not ideal parts.- DowdyPrime

Thanks! I can use the 12ax7 elsewhere, but the numbers baffled me. Honestly, the images are useless, the guy doesn’t know how to focus :-). I think I may just let this go, since my interactions sine I first wrote haven’t made me super confident.- DowdyPrime

Might you guys help me identify a pair of 12ax7 tubes? The guy who is selling them only takes *really* bad photos, so those aren't of much help. But they have Amperex Bugle Boy logo, and on the same latitude as the logo, two lines of numbers: the top is 65 and the bottom is 27. These seem...- DowdyPrime

Monoprice Monolith Liquid Platinum - By Alex Cavalli
Might those of you with tracking issue post your serial numbers? Perhaps there's a problematic range? Or is this a fool's errand? I received mine in mid-July. There is definitely a volume bump at 10-11. I think there is a small imbalance below that, but very slight, not something I can hear...- DowdyPrime

Could you guys recommend a test track for testing channel imbalance? My unit definitely has the volume bump between 8 & 10 o'clock (and, for now, I use low output on a chord mojo be able to use the 11-2 range). But I haven't heard a channel imbalance that bothered me. Of course, this may be my...- DowdyPrime

Liquid Platinum Tube Rollers.
Hi all. Here's a tube question, particularly to those with some Lyr3 experience. I'm evaluating the LP vs. Lyr3 right now and am completely torn (and can't keep both!). I love the detail of the LP, but the Lyr3 has a smoothness in the upper range that I really like. To my ears, violin solos on...- DowdyPrime

Just an idea, haven't tried it: wrap thin string (tooth floss?) around the top ledge and twist the two ends around one another (like you're tying a knot, but don't tie a knot), until it grips the ledge. Use enough string so that you can pull on it. Then do it again, with the "knot" 180 degrees...- DowdyPrime

Monoprice Monolith Liquid Platinum - By Alex Cavalli
@Sandifop Lest you think you are entirely alone... I’m experiencing (the same?) slight distortion in the high vocal range with a pair of Oppo PM-3, even at low volumes. They are rated at 26 Ohm, and, until a pair of HD6xx arrive, are the only pair I can test. I received my LP from Monoprice at...- DowdyPrime

Right. I'm less interested in particular recommendations but in tube knowledge in general (like features to be aware of, testing requirements, cautions regarding use, etc. like a primer); but I guess I can ferret that out from the various sub-threads. thx.- DowdyPrime
