I haven't posted here in a decade+ Still find the Sylvania range rules, including their 5687WA power tube. Rock'in the L'il dot to it's finest, as always.

Not in the US, no customs fees from China. You might consider hard about saving up an extra $45 for the MK III though

Jeez P, the guy bought a very fine amp. No need to treat him like a jilted lover.

If you want to explore different highly regarded power tubes, the electrical equivalent’s are the E182CC, 5687, 7119, 7044, 6900 tube varieties. They are plentiful. See : http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f5/rev...ifiers-301219/

Akai CD-A7 - Ha! I owned one back in the mid-80’s, it was my first CD player. I can’t really comment so much on its sound quality, it’s been too long ago now… but the program logic was way cool. BTW, you can skip songs by clicking the >> button, or hold it down to FF Here’s what was so...

Matched vs. not matched… I’ve bought or traded for more than my fair share of tubes, mostly out of curiosity. What do they sound like? Are these the hidden gem I’ve been seeking?… So I’ve collected about 12 or so varieties of driver tubes. As Penchum says, it all depends on the price and...

It's a shame, I probably would have gotten along swimingly with the cookie boy. After a fifth and a few burritos.

I tried to hire the Keebler guy but couldn’t afford him, and Santa’s boys are too frickin’ loyal

He just left and wouldn't tell me why. Guess he was just tired of the slave wages.

Whether you want to just replace the resistor, or add in a switched resistor, the soldering is the easy part. The difficulty is in the one piece chassis design. The beautifully beefy toroidial transformer has several 20 gauge wires grouped into two sets of twisted pairs. They enter the chassis...

^ x2, I'd also add that I've yet to hear an overly warm EF95. Even the warmer EF92's aren't grossly so. It helps to read tube observations with a point of reference. With two or three in your collection, my veiws and other's here will be easier to understand. Though you may decide we're all...

You're welcome to send me a pair

Back on 3/09/08, I posted Part I of a comprehensive tube shoot-out. With best intentions, I promised a follow-up in a week or two. More tubes were on the way, and I wanted to include impressions using the 6H30 power tubes. I took my time investigating mods vs. adapters (do I really want to void...

P, @$169 delivered, I'd say you're already in the great buy side of the bell curve.

Raytheon is a division of Western Electric. If you install two different driver tubes left and right, your amp will spin counter clockwise and tangle up your cords. Reverse them if you wish it to spin clockwise to untangle the mess.
