  ^^ You both are in for a treat if you haven't owned the mjo2 before. The dynamics and slam on this amp are some of the best out there at any price. Good tubes bring refinement and proper tonality to the dynamics which make it pretty darned special. Enjoy!!

 


TK's waiting on the MJ2, I'm waiting on the Yggy.

I can wait for the Schiit I guess waiting on some balanced cables for my cans. Hope you like the Yggy. Thats pretty much end game there.

Oh, did not look at the seller!, BIN is crazy, so is the opening bid.

I've had the Reflektor "HGs" and his Vosh "HGs" before that. Just never heard the magic. But Rob loves his Ruskies and I'll give him this...he's done a helluva job creating a market for them. To each his own.

The 75`s were too forward sounding for my HE560`s, think my head would of exploded with my HD700`s. I liked the 74`s better.

I liked the 74's better too...better bass for sure and less shrill on top.  But I sold them too.

To me 74s def have better bass but the highs kill me with them . 74s also completely devoid of musicality . 75s were superior to my ears with the music and equipment I have. But.... not worth $300, both have a brittle treble. Good tubes not in Cca or even e188cc territory . That said , I still have both vintages and don't really think about selling them. Since I changed amps my rolling is in my dac. I haven't even considered using the russkies over my Heerlen tubes. Even my Blackburns get a nod every now and again. They were $60

Same experience with the 74`s, better bass but very unmusical to my ears. Highs were better than the 75`s but too much for my taste. Hell of a lot of detail with both vintages, but not for me, I like chucking some Blackburns as well. Helps out with the HE560 and its bass.

Ok I've just received my first pair of tubes.
 
Two Reflektors "X 72" and "I 72" that I bought for 23,49€

Certainly a difference versus the stock canadian ones.
I've read many posts talking about noise / microphobics. I don't really now about the status of these tubes...

But now that they are over 60ºC I think they sound even better than 2 hours ago.

Nice find, think I would want a pic of the actual tubes, somebody can get a good deal here with the best offer option.

Yeah I wouldn't pay $250 for silver shields and certainly not for A Frames. Heck I wouldn't pay $250 for grey shields. $200 to $225 for greys can be had.

Also concerned with those perfect print ones, with the CCa close together, seller from Poland has them all the time. Leery of those.

I was thinking the same thing Bill. Silver shields. Kinda high for so little info too.

Ive never read anything definitive on greys being better than silver. Some rankings have the grey above and others have them equal.

Brent jessee told me me he has hasnt heard opinions based on listening that the grey are better

I know i am a huge fan of my silvers but never heard the greys

If anyone has had a fair bit if use of both then do let me know

Maybe the silvers being usually cheaper than the greys is a nice benefit on tubes that dont have much/any difference
