I just got my pre-amp/headphone amp back and they did not send my tubes back to me.  I only have 6we7 and 6de7s.  I emailed and called the manufacturer, but they can sometimes be hard to get ahold of.   Thanks   Edit:  The socket is the same, but I don't want to burn up my amp or the tubes.

What's a currently manufactured turntable that would allow me to grow with it. I have a used turntable, and it's a peace of crap. When it sounds good, I like vinyl. It has too much semblance (don't know how to set the cartridge, if it's even possible), the counter weight broke off in shipping (I...

What sounds absolutely best (sounds good or is cheap) on vinyl? I like just about anything. I was probably going to start with Radiohead, "Kind of Blue" or Bethoven, but I thought it might be a good chance to expand my musical horizons. Any suggestions of what would be "best" on vinyl? PS...

Is Stax the only company still manufacturing electrostatic headphones? I would like to get into electrostatics, but it seems I'll be limiting my choices of headphones to one company. I know there are used phones out there, but they seems hard to come by.

I was looking at an amp I never heard of, and I couldn't find a picture of the back. I had to download the user manual.

I'm thinking of getting a better amp, but I got to thinking that it really will just make it sound better not different. I don't really like my main two headphones, but I'm not ready to give up on them. Can a balanced amp make a change in the sound? It's hard to explain, but it sounds...

I would like to try out a balanced amp, but I think I would need to get better than the WA6 (what I have) to hear an improvement. The WA22 would do it, but it's too much. Would a LD MKVI be better than a WA6? What about SS amps? Something with a good resell value, or used maybe? I...

I do not have a DAC, but I have a good amp (WA6). I want to get a DAC, but I want to go either balanced dynamics or electrostatic in the future. My question is, can I go from XLR to RCA? Is there an adapter? Will it hurt the DAC or amp? I can get a DAC that does both, but it limits my...

I got some RCA and Zenith 6EW7 power tubes for my WA6. Does anyone know anything about the Zenith tubes? Are the Zenith tubes made by someone else? I haven't seen anyone mention Zenith tubes in any of the tube rolling threads. Both the RCA and Zenith are fatter than the GE's that came with the...

I'm looking for pair of head phones that sound sort of like the DT770 but open and with more sound stage. I don't care about bass, I just think the highs are easier to listen to than the AKG K701. I like everything about the AKG except, sometimes the highs, especially brass sounds harsh. Even if...

I have a tube amp on order (should be here in about 3 and a half weeks). I need something to tied me over until it gets here. I would prefer a desktop amp. I don't need a DAC. I want to order something today and have it shipped today. It's to drive AKG K701s. Thanks

What's the cheapest amp to drive any headphones? I know some amps sound better with some headphones, but I want one amp that can drive any headphones I get [not including elctrostatic, etc.]. If you need a price say $200. What's your desert island tube amp for around $1000-1500? Again that...

I'm looking for a good starters amp and headphones. Mostly want to listen to classical, some trance [mostly bored with trance]. I have Grado SR60 that I like, didn't like the PX-100. I like the look of tube amps, but I have never heard one. I can spend as much as I want, but I'm not...
