So when you say new wooden case, you mean a new Pendant….or just the wood case surrouns?
new wooden case. i got the og pendant with the stock black case, and i got my hands on a wooden case to upgrade itSo when you say new wooden case, you mean a new Pendant….or just the wood case surrouns?
The RFT EZ81 is a great tube and especially for the money, but it's not in the same league as the U709. The U709 is the king of the EZ81 family.But I would pay and have paid $25 each for four RFT EZ81 foil getter rectifier tubes…
When I want some killer bass, I throw in some Tungsram EL84 Foil Disc Getters for power tubes, or a Mullard EZ81 Square Getter for the rectifier, and for the driver tube I like the Brimar CV4034.Is there a tube I can roll for moar bass? Right now I have the stock ZMF JNJ tubes, plus the ZMF NOS tubes, plus a few RFT input and rectifier tubes.
Wow….I never knew that. Thanks @Wes SWhen I want some killer bass, I throw in some Tungsram EL84 Foil Disc Getters for power tubes, or a Mullard EZ81 Square Getter for the rectifier, and for the driver tube I like the Brimar CV4034.
Also, Sylvania EL84 Black Plates have some killer bass, but they are a bit hot in the highs for my preferences.
The High Z was changed from 300 ohm with the OG to 100 ohm with the SE, depending on how old the OG is.I am lookin to get a used pendent OG. does anyone know what is the difference between the og and se except the lower noise floor.
My wallet shudders with every one of your posts, lol!Rolled in an old favorite driver tube of mine last night, and as expected it did not disappoint. This tube was one of my favs when I had my BHC, and I stashed them so well I had forgotten about them. Well, after what I heard last night I sure am glad I finally remembered about them. The Sylvania JHS 5814a Triple Mica Short Grey Plate Square Getter 60' is another outstanding tube in the Pendant, and gets an easy rec from me if you are looking for a well balanced tube that makes music sound organic/lifelike. This tube has a very unique sound in that almost every song no matter the genre sounds as if it is being performed live. The tonality and timbre is incredibly natural and the vocals are forward and clear and as lifelike as I have heard. The bass has really good punch and dives deep with really good detail and texture. The imaging is tight and the stage is more on the intimate side yet still sounds spacious enough when the song calls for it, and has the 3D effect going strong. The highs are smooth but don't sound blunted at all, and detail top to bottom is as good as I have heard. If it's in the recording this tube will let you hear it, but it does not force it down your ears either. This tube combines detail with such an organic/natural timbre, and works well with all genres. Another thing worth mentioning, is this tube is very quiet and rated for longer life, due to it's more robust construction compared to the civilian version 12AU7. This tube pairs incredibly well with my Atticus. . . in fact I think this is best I have ever heard them sound.
Here is how I found out about this tube years ago, and I concur with all said.
