Gotta have this one so I just ordered it. Thanks Ripper.:relaxed:

Tower Of Power Direct was another good one.

Nasty Chinese knock-off of the Chuo Denshi Japanese original. Phooey. The OG version is fine for a ceramic replacement for old, portable record players. I was referring to that $1.60 cartridge in a previous post.

Welcome to Club Kara

Bird Dog!

And tonight is Margarita night.

And they're rugged as heck. The GE's that is.

The perfect examples would be vintage Dynaco MKIII's and Stereo 70's.

The GE 6550A was the only tube one could use in the Fender 400PS bass amplifier. All others...huge melt down. It's also the best for use in the Ampeg SVT too. Early SVT's ran 660 volts on the plates of 6146B finals. Later SVT's were running 695 plate volts on 6550's!

Finally...This.

From their website... "It was re-established in 1996 for the exclusive manufacture of electron tubes and high-fidelity"

I thought Western Electric was tooling up to start building a series of 9-pin small signal tubes again. Anyone have any news regarding this?

Very different from 1x. I'll post more once I finish my listening sessions.

Listening now to Kara after a 24 hour 4x warmup... She's on 24/7 but on 1x until yesterday.

Oooh, that's real nice.

Good call.

Roger that.

Well, for the first time since I up-graded from Freya S to Kara (11/23), I'm giving 4x a go...

My RCA SHF-3D console was born in 1958

Best to play the lp version:smile:

Me thinks it's puurty!

Needle talk? Really? With today's high compliance, high quality cartridges, styli and tonearms? I haven't had to deal with needle talk since I started using Shure V15's. Oy.

I've been using this stuff for years. Great for cleaning cd's, dust covers, face-plates on gear and your black lacquer grand pianos.
