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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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)"

Do you need a DC Blocker or EMI filter for a specific component? For sale is the Core Power Ground Zero in very good used condition. This is a good plug-in DC Blocker / EMI filter. Reports say far superior to the ifi DC Blocker or the Audio Lab DC Block. Best for large transformer amps and...

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

ER? TM?

Congrats. So tell me about what you’ve liked and not about the Elrog MO?

For sale are two 6' WyWires Platinum Juice II power cords that I no longer need, as I'm using almost all WyWires Diamonds now. In very good used condition. $490 each or $960 for the pair shipped in CONUS. Use PP f/f or fees on the buyer. See my feedback here, Audiomart, Audiogon, Audio Asylum...

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...

Cleaning house. Left are two SR Quantum Purple fuses: 12.5A small, slow-blow (20 mm). I used these two in JL Audio subs that take 10A fuses. 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 industry spec and are known to...

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...

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...

Mike is a good buyer. Asks good questions and accepts fair pricing without needing to dicker or low ball, and pays promptly.

You two are talking about different things.

Engine upgrades have always been in the 2000 Euro range. Engine 11 plus the JL Sounds upgrade will come to 2500 plus $250 for shipping.

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...
