I can assure you it is a nice warm rabbit hole as long as you have some $$$ or a CC that needs a workout!

I’m not. But I know who is.

 

[paradoxper]

Again, glad they were patient figured it out. Now you gotta get aiming towards the 6J5G rabbit hole!

No, no, you need the TM300B. Trust me.

 

[nwavesailor]

Is the TM300B available to mere mortals or just connected guys like you?

I am working on this for you. I'm also trying to nudge Thomas to the 6SN7. Long road.

 

[nwavesailor]

Thanks!

I'd go for the TM!!!!!! I got caught up in the temporary shortage of the ER300B and ordered a second pair. A little silly with a 12 month warranty. I may sell those backups unused with the remaining 10 months Elrog warranty and snag the TM if available.

The 6J5 are really great tubes. IMO, as good or perhaps better than the 1578. I just got some 1960's L63 GEC smoked glass and some GEC L63 (GT) from the 70's today.

TM much better than MO/ER? What are the differences? Also you are still pairing TM with 1578?

Add me to the TM queue if you can

As ER departs from traditional 300B, so does TM depart from ER.

The TM is eerie in vocal production up to all I've heard with far more linearity and clarity than either ER. They're more in line with a 45 or 10Y, the sense of presence is entirely fluid and devoid of coloration with even bigger spatial information and far greater depth.

I always use the 1578 with some varied usage of RCA grey when I pair with Valkryia. But the Trafomatic Primavera is generally my preference.

 

[incredulousity]

Interested in the TM of course! Thanks for the description of their sound. Please feel free to elaborate further.

Curious if you have ever tried 6J5's? I really trust your opinion on tubes and I have pretty much seen all my buddies that used 6SN7's eventually go to 6J5's, so I am curious if you have tried them and then decided to stick with the 1578 and why? I have been watching my man @nwavesailor enjoying them as of late, and as it usually goes I follow his lead eventually and I am thinking of giving them a try.

@paradoxper Taking bulk orders? Haha. I’m sure a handful of us are interested.

You have to hear it similarly like comparing WE vs Elrog, the presence and resolution is another layer more revealed.

Though I wonder if dividing my love among all three types of Elrog would be more polyamory than I could handle.

I do like the 6J5, however, the 1578 is the exception as it's very clearly a special tube. Why I like it aside from being extremely balanced is the soundstage and holography it presents along with the scale of resolution which is most important to me of any sound characteristic.
