Good point, I doubt they spent the time or money to engineer the materials to have similar coefficients of expansions.

I have a few tubes with loose bases. From what I have found, most people use superglue. Does anyone have any experience with superglue? I also found a product for this specific problem, 2A3-Mesh Datasheet. Emission Labs. Has anyone use this?

I read that people were considering an ecc2 adapter for the extreme. Did anyone get it and how does it sound with 6DJ8/6922? -David

I guess I haven't owned a tube amp that can heat up a room . My only other experience with tubes is my Woo3. Since the tubes buzz when the amp is warming up, I'm sure it's tube warm-up. Thanks for all the replies.

I just got the stock Extreme and I have a several questions about it. I'm using a pair of Tung-Sol 5998 and a Sylvania 6SN7 GT. How much heat is it suppose put out? My Woo3 gets warm with the WE 421A and Phillips E88CC's but the Extreme is quite a bit warmer. During startup do you experience...

I'm intrigued by the GE 6DJ8 grey glass because of jamato8's recommendation. I noticed there is also a "clear" glass version. Are there sonic differences between the two?

Is it ok to mix lead solder with lead free solder? I want to do some soldering on a PCB that was soldered with lead free solder but all I have is lead solder. Thanks

Mini-mini me! Thanks

I assume I sign up with a post. Thanks for the great offer.

Herandu, Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give them a try as soon as I have time. It's good to know it could be the remote and it's not me going crazy. -David PS: I originally thought it was the batteries but new batteries didn't help the situation.

The remote to my NAD C 521BEE cd player has always been acting weird. For some strange reason after a few days it'll just stop working, the LED won't light up when a button is pushed. I would have to reset the remote by taking the batteries out or fulling powering down the CD player. Has anyone...

I already have the KSC75. They are better than the Sony but the Koss don't travel well in a backpack because the clips sometimes pop off. They are my beaters.

I have a pair of Sony MDR-G52. I like them because I can throw them in my backpack without worrying about breaking them. One of the rubber ear piece broke because the rubber aged and got brittle. Does Sony sell a replacement ear piece and if so, where can I buy it? Thanks -David

I recently saw this product called Monitor Saver. Does anyone have any opinion on this product? Does it help with storing IEM's? Is it over-rated? -David

I'm looking for a new case to store my Shure e4. I don't like the case that came with the e4's because it's too small; I have to coil up the cord tightly to make it fit in there. I need something that's durable because I'll have the case in my backpack. The Ultimate Ears metal case looks...

I was in same situation. I had my ER6 for a couple of years now. When I recently removed the ear tips for cleaning the silcone sheathing slid off. Basically, the sheathing was getting old and there were cracks in them. So I emailed Etymotic and the Rep, Rick, was very cool about it. He sent me a...

The decals are underneath the clear silicone covering, that covers the earphone. They have ER*6, L or R written on them. I know they won't affect the sound. The reason why I would like replacement decals, if possible, is so i can tell the left earphone from the right one without having to use...

When I was removing the eartips for cleaning, the sheathing on the earphone body slid off. The decals underneath the sheathing came off with the sheathing. Has this happened to anyone else and are replacement decals available? Thanks

I recently bought a used MS2 and one of the pads has a cut. It looks like it was done by a razor. What can I use to glue the cut?
