WOW! When you got 'out of tubes' about 8-10 months ago you REALLY got out of tubes!!!!!!!!!

BOY OH BOY! I can't wait to fire some tubes in this thing!

It responds quite well, and if one is sticking with 6922 variants, the Sylvania 6922 D Getters sound incredible.

Got some 12au7 adapters coming. My favorite 6922 variant of all time is Valvo CCa(Heerlen). Second is 2492/2493 Brimar Rochester plant(KB/AD).
Still shopping around lol. I'll look into the Sylvanias.

This!

...Second is 2492/2493 Brimar Rochester plant(KB/AD)...

Except for me the 2492s are tied for first w/ Siemens NOS CCa, which I have got to get out of the amp before I consume all their goodness, since I only have one pair.

Swapped Nickel transformers back into my DSHA-3F, so back to Brimar for the LP. I always like to have one tweaked ‘warmer, bassier, fuller’, while the other is ‘airier, crisper, leaner’. (Re-reading, I need to clarify, CCa are the warmer tubes, while 2492s are airier.)

Small differences, but it lets me pretend to be master of my domain

The Brimar is my second favorite, and a great place to start. The Sylvania 6922 D Getters, have better bass (deeper and tighter), and are more transparent than the Brimar, while still being totally non fatiguing with a bigger sound stage too.

Liquid Platinum is on sale from Monoprice for only $550! New, NOT open-box. Good enough price I practically want to buy another one. I love this amp.

Cant find the warranty on this amp, on their website. Oops, big graphic, it Seems people have problems with the power supply going bad or frying amp?

Actually, I had my first LP fail, but I really don't know what the story was.

I turned it on one day and got no sound, no red LED (to eventually turn white) on the amp, and no tube glow. But I did get a blinking green light on the power supply.

I don't know what that meant, and Monoprice never responded to my query regarding that. They just said 'return it', so I did. Got a brand-new replacement pretty quickly.

I will say that I live in a rural location, and it was stormy around that time. So perhaps a power hit took out the power supply. Or ... I really just don't know. So my experience should go into the 'Unexplained failure' category.

No problems with the replacement BTW.

ETA is Monday, so I guess I'll soon see where this particular rabbit hole leads on my LP rig.

That's the right one. I saw that listing and that was just a single?

Seems that’s it’s only one tube, too high of a price. What if fails ?

 

[sahmen]

Well, it used to be single, until it wasn't I contacted the seller to say I wanted a pair, about a week ago, when he had only one of them. And he promised to let me know when he finds another one. Well yesterday, he did find another one, and send me an e-mail. $140 for the pair was the offer I made, which he accepted, and the rest is Sylvania D getter history
