Hmm... everytime I discover that I have used the same tubes so long that they must be my final choice... everytime I then post that on here... don't you know that is the cue for me to start rolling again.
I really like my Valvo coinbase as driver - and unfortunately it does not go well my Philips E188CC. (Wierd soundstage). So I am trying it now with my matched Electro-Harmonix 6922 Gold ouputs. These are new tubes that I bought for about $56 a pair, half the cost of the TFK PCC88s.
The EH are good tubes. I did not like them with an EH driver so much but with the Valvo I am getting crisp dynamics, wide precise imaging and a versatile signature from hard through folk.
It shows again how important the driver tube is. I can't wait to try the Blackburn Microtech Solutions' TechTube brand E811CC when it is finally released. What if they go well with the EH 6922s? Wouldn't it be great if you could get excellent sound from the EMP with all new valves?
