Dubstep Girl's Massive 5AR4/5R4/5U4G Rectifier Review/Comparison! (Rectifer Tube Rolling thread)
What should I expect switching from 5U4G to 5Z3 in general? Is there a specific 5Z3 family sound compared to 5U4G?- babyoh

Dubstep Girl's Massive 5AR4/5R4/5U4G Rectifier Review/Comparison! (Rectifer Tube Rolling thread)
My 300B amp uses 5Z3P rectifier stock. I'm rolling 5U4G right now without issue. Should I assume the older 4 pin 5Z3 will also work too as long as I use the necessary 4 pin to octal socket adapter? Both 5U4G and 5Z3 have identical max operation numbers. Thanks.- babyoh

Dubstep Girl's Massive 5AR4/5R4/5U4G Rectifier Review/Comparison! (Rectifer Tube Rolling thread)
Is there any reason to avoid weaker testing vintage rectifier tube on fleabay if you can have it for a song? Can a barely "good" testing 5U4G do any damage provided it has no short, let's say seller says minimum is 40 and the tube tested 47 / 48?- babyoh

Sennheiser HE-60 ''The Legendary Baby"
Are you using the HEV-70 amp? Probably one of the aging drivers need more time to fully charge up since you haven't used them for a long time. I wouldn't sweat about it if they sound good after warming up. It could also be dust. Try very very gently vacuuming them to see if it helps.- babyoh

Has the K1000 market cooled off? Low $1k-ish seems to be the norm these days for most K1000s.- babyoh

Sennheiser HE-60 ''The Legendary Baby"
I'm looking to pair HE-60 with an aftermarket amp and checking out this e-stat amp spreadsheet done by another HFer. What are the maximum "safe" RMS and peak voltage numbers I need to keep under so I won't be able to overdrive and damage my HE-60 by accident...- babyoh

The earpads and headband of my HE-60 dry rotted. I got the replacement parts. How do I perform the "surgery" or just pull them off gently? Thought I ask before doing any damage. Thanks.- babyoh

I read the ERA-1's sonic signature is modeled after the ESL-57 electrostatic speakers. Should I even bother with ERA-1 if I already own the Baby O?- babyoh

Unfortunately I don't have a Stax amp for testing. The pads on mine are dry rotting. I suspect some of the particles may get on to the panels and causing issues. How can I make sure the panels are clean?- babyoh

Sennheiser HE-60 ''The Legendary Baby"
I have a set of HE60 and HEV70 that haven't been used for a couple of years. Is it normal for the HE60 to give loud scratchy sound with pops and ticks? It was really bad the first time I fired them up again. Now the noise only happens during the first 5 minutes from a cold start. After that...- babyoh
