I think i missed the red Sylvania, I have a couple of yellow and some White ones. The green one has light green letters and black plates. I also have a couple of black plates RCA, very nice and full sound. I used them a lot before I changed my Ifi Idac to Arcam IrDac, that combo became a little...

To me its the other way, I prefere the 6V tubes. The only exeption is The 12BH7 family that someone here recommended, but that's good that we hear different. Then we don't try to outbid eachother on fleabay. I bought a real expensive 7308 2 years ago and I put it back in the box after a couple...

I though so to if I remember corect. I have a lot of different ones. The sound is almost the same in everyone but my favorite was the one with the big halo getter. Second was the D-getter. A complete tube and it tamed the harshnes in the he-400. I still have my 12bh7 Green letter Sylvania as my...

Was it a 6dj8 or a 12ax,y,u 7 tube. I only have the 6dj8 version my self, bought a whole bunch of them for my he-400. After upgrading to he-500 they didn't get to many houers in my ember, maby I should try them again.

Congrats to the new baby. Can you hear any differenses between the vt-231 and 6SN7 Ken-rads? I've been told that it should be the same tube but The VT should've been manufactured with better tolerance. I can't hear the differenses but you're a little bit younger so might be able to tell the...

The left one on the pic is the real deal. Be careful out there, lots of fakes. And watch out for your self, the road to "tubeohollic" is fast and slippery and really fun. Johan

Congrats to a very good amp, you won't get disappointed . The best recommendation for impactful base would probably be Ken-rad VT 231. You can always do a search here in the 6SN7 thread. Regarding the Sylvania I prefer the black base, I think I put up a pic earlier in this thread. I would also...

Day 2 with Audyn true copper cap 0.22 uF as coupling cap and 0.33 uF as decoupling to my KT88 push pull class A amp. I can't stop listening, missed my youngest sons football match last night (sorry son but daddy had to work late). A huge step up from the Ruskie Pio I've been trying . I suddenly...

I will pass by my post-office later today to pickup 2 pairs of MBGCH-1 0,22 uF that I bought from fleabay. I must say that I appreciate the time we are living in, I layed in my bed a couple of days ago and read this thread in my phone. 5 min later I had ordered and payed for four caps from...

Thanks for the link, I've heard the same about higher voltage rating. I'm using a K75-10 as decoupling now and waiting for K75-24 to try out. Just have to wait and listen for my self. Using a Audyn true copper as coupling cap with good results. It's very transparent in that position and at the...

Hi does anyone know if there is any sonical differenses between K75-10 and K75-24 or is it only the voltage rating that's different? Johan

The supercharger allows you to use tubes that will draw up to 1000mA on the heater. Without the supercharger you're limited to 500mA. If you would like to use 12bh7 that needs 900mA on the heater you need the super charger. I have V1 but bought the SC and soldered in myself. If you're in to tube...

Arcam IrDac works with Sony Experia Z3 compact trough UAPP. NO success with Hiby musicplayer. Edit. Success with a splitter and external power, hiby and Spotify works now. Runnig lollipop 5.0.2 and everything seems to works well. Have to write to Arcam support now and tell them that they...

Happy wife, happy life...

Don't know yet, haven't studied the schematic so it's hard to tell. Must be someone here who knows, otherwise we have to ask Jeremy. I'm still trying to find out a way to get my wife out of the house so I can start playing with my toys. Johan

Sorry for no response about the Ken - Rad. Been playing with my latest build. Have to second Connieflyer, it's al about the base. And the clarity, space, realism and tone. It's the perfect alrounder. Sorry but did I tell you bout the base:-) Kind of 2-3 db increase in the 30-100hz area but...

My latest persuade. Ken-rad 6sn7gt and Philips 6sn7gt. It's going to be a good long night.

I couldn't resist the jan chs 6sn7wgt after all the prayers. It's extremely airy and 3d in the soundstage. The other one on the pic is also a Sylvania, don't know how old it is but it's a 6sn7gt. It has the same 3d but not the same airiness as the jan, but it has more body, feels a bit warmer...

Got my Cossor 6sn7gt today, it's warm and intimate with a good base. More tubey than my Magnavox/sylvania and only cost me $ 9. If you're looking for something warmer to put it your Ember this one is definitely worth the low price. IMHO of course. Now I have to wait a couple of days for my new...

Well I hope you got it, I stopped my bidding at €50. If you won and it was for a pair send me a pm if you wanna split. I was bidding on a pair of ken - rad vt231 at the same time but I rest my case. They're up in €61 right now and that's to much for me, especially when I only need one. Next...

Let me know if you want to get rid of one. It seems like I'm losing my bidding on fleabay.

I've spent the whole morning with my computer listening/watching HD live concerts in different changers. The realism from the 6SN7 tubes is incredible, the timbre, separation and soundstage is in another league compared to my 9 pins. I'm bidding on a pair of jan-chs 6sn7gt sylvania so please...

I'm totally sold, there's no going back to 9- pins. Thanks Jeremy and Garage 1217.

First pic of the new family member. Welcome home 6sn7gt It's to early to review the sound but my first impression is more organic than my 12bh7a rca I've been listening to under the weekend. This is a Sylvania labeled Magnavox. Everything about rolling is nuances, some tubes have bigger...

If you would like to try the 12bh7a or 6n6p you need the super charger. They will draw up to 900 mA. The 6sn7 only need 600 mA, but if you install the supercharger it will start up a little faster and you are on the safe side if you would like to go crazy with the tube collecting. It's fun and...
