I just had one of my audio buddies stop by to listen to the new tubes. I walked away to let him get into the music. Hr listened to Lee Ritenour first. He got so excited and emotional while listening to it that he just wanted to describe his experi...

The tubes are excellent. I am really very happy with them. The only thing wrong is some crackling in the right channel during warm up. I am going to call Tube Depot and talk with them today.Otherwise, I am am just letting the music take me away ag...

Hello again.I just swapped the new el34l's into the amp about 15 minutes ago. I am initially setting the bias at 110mv for the time being. I will let them burn in for a few days and then check to see if the voltage had drifted at all.By the way......

Hello Doctor. I did order the blue ones. I also rearranged my listening environment to an area that has no hardwood reflection. The one thing that I feel is lacking is the sensation of being in a totally black void and just having the music sudden...

Thanks....It it really sounding pretty good right now. It might be interesting to see if it can be safely increased to 140mv or so. I am not concerned with tube life, but I want to avoid burning something else.I will increase it as soon as I hear ...

Trelja-I tweaked the bias up to 120mv and everything opened up immediately. I backed it down to 115mv and it sounds great. Lots more midrange detail and air. Bass seems crisper also but not as strong as kt88's as you mentioned.Should changing the ...

They are still breaking in I believe. They did seem to start filling the room nicely a few days ago ( about 100 hrs ago), but they have paused short of the kt88's at this point. I have tried swapping out the TungSol with Mazda 12ax7s's and EH12ax7... 
Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help
Very interesting .I will check out those 12ax7's. I just bought these Tungsols but I am going to take your advice on them. The Mullards have started filling the room and the lesser bass has become a nonissue. I am going to run it mostly Continuos ...
