6922 Tube Review - 17 Top 6922 6N23P E88CC CCa 7308 E188CC tubes
Amperex Orange Globe 6EJ8/ECC88 are beautifully warm and beautiful (but I wouldn't call extremely syrupy). I have a clean matched pair in original boxes that came to me NOS (1967 or 68) last year and were very briefly used in a VAC preamp until I switched to Soviet 6N23P's. I have extensive...- highstream

If you’re close enough to visit Lampi and handle the cost, you might want to see if they have any Golden Gates that have bern traded in.- highstream

I suspect those settings determine the amount of voltage going to the tubes. If so, I wouldn't think it would be a matter of different circuits.- highstream

6922 Tube Review - 17 Top 6922 6N23P E88CC CCa 7308 E188CC tubes
You didn’t say if these are NOS or used and, if the latter, when last used. In either case, an extended burn in period is needed for them to stabilize sonically. 150 hours at least for used and 275-300 for unused. That’s not playing time but time on, which makes it easier. Patience counts with...- highstream

Due to water damage, my living room became a storage area for a couple of months. I found the Orange Globes too warm. I’m back to the 6N23P, with current WE300B’s in the dac, after frying some excellent EML Anniversary 45’s with the wrong voltage setting.- highstream

Yes, the Horizon's over USD 30k, like ~$51K ;) The semi-Legacy models, such as the GG, are an option. Looking at HiFi Shark, there are two earlier GG's at decent prices, both parts upgraded by Lampi and with VC, and one balanced. Both seem ripe for the GG3 upgrade (Engine 11). $5K according to...- highstream

Comment by 'highstream' on listing 'Western Electric 300B (Matched Pair) - Trades Welcome'
Just had an exchange with the Pres. of PCX about why no more Elrog. He said, "Silly long lead times… Very difficult to deal with (his way, or highway)"- highstream

Thanks. Are they still selling in North America? Parts Connexion doesn't list Elrog anymore. Or did you go direct?- highstream

SOLD: Upgrade your system from its OEM fuse. SR Quantum Orange fuses: 6.3A & 12.5A small, slow-blow (20 mm). Many audiophiles prefer these over the later Purple version. I strongly recommend going up from the component spec at least one, if not two amp values, or 25%, as they are not made to...- highstream

This is a hum that seems internal not external. Today test: I pulled the back tubes, left the recti in, killed and unplugged the Regenerator, which turned off everything else, and plugged the dac into the Regenerator's wall outlet. With ear to the dac, then a few feet away, the hum was still...- highstream

Good to know, although the meaning is not clear for current owners. If it’s correct that he’s gotten all that can be out of the SET design, as he’s said and is the apparent reason for designating them as legacy models, what significant can be gotten out of new parts and designs is not obvious...- highstream

I read the statement to the effect that wouldn't be the case, i.e., what "They will not be - from 2023 onwards - developed further" means in plain English. That's the whole point of legacy, that they are no longer in the main lineup and so don't get treated as if they are, for new or upgrade...- highstream
