I actually like the black aesthetic. Silver would fit the silver amp better perhaps.
Agree. Gold is better anyway)I actually like the black aesthetic. Silver would fit the silver amp better perhaps.
I agree silver would just stick out too much, and take away from the look. I try to get my adapters to blend into their surroundings, not be the center of attention. I want the tubes to be the center of attention, I have even considered painting the top caps black. . .I actually like the black aesthetic. Silver would fit the silver amp better perhaps.
This is true, they do have a flavor, but it's the kind of flavoring that makes everything sound more alive and realistic to my ears. They add a bit of euphony and harmonic richness, that goes a long way to making things sound very lifelike. The "flavoring" is most noticeable at first listen, but once your ears and brain adjust, the sound becomes so natural and right it's nuts. The early Mullard "house sound" truly is magical!. . .One thing is, that they are not a truthful tube, they have their own sound, but god damn it's a good sound for my ears.
I really like pretty much all my CV6 type tubes with the WE as well. Thanks for the detailed review.This is true, they do have a flavor, but it's the kind of flavoring that makes everything sound more alive and realistic to my ears.

No prob, and the CV6 really is a special tube. I am so thankful for @jamato8 for bringing the 7193 (CV6) to light for us, with his sharing a while back. I would have never tried this tube otherwise, and now I can't live without it.I really like pretty much all my CV6 type tubes with the WE as well. Thanks for the detailed review.

The CV6 definitely has a special synergy with the WE, with layering and holographic staging to die for, and punch and texture you can literally feel.
Actually I don’t care at all about appearance. After all, sound quality first. But I do insist that black-coloured wire is the worst choice in terms of heat absorption. Any colour is better than black. More heat — shorter life. Please don’t get me wrong, I know nothing about internal structure of these wires — maybe made of heat-resistant materials and will last for years. But with reflective outer sheath it would last longer.I agree silver would just stick out too much, and take away from the look.

I think silver would be too loud for the silver version as well.
To each their own. . .
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.i feel like i might be alone in thinking the adapters from ebay actually look nice in a way
