Is anyone currently making a tube of this type that rivals the performance of the best NOS Mullard tubes? I'm surprised that Sophia, Psvane and others appear not to have offered this tube. Suggestions?
I preferred the JJ Audio tube over the NOS mullard tube for all the reasons posted above for my Modwright PS 9. I have not tried the Create rectifier yet.
I'm new to this so I'm still experimenting, but would like some expert advise. So I can start in the correct direction and not waste time and money.
Wig, I have not heard of the Ked Red VT231. Where is the best place to get a pair to try out and even buy? What do I look for? On e-bay? BIG Thanks!
Bigkidz, same question, as for the NOS Tung-Sol 6SN7 Where is the best place to get a pair to try out and even buy? What do I look for? On e-bay? BIG Thanks!
I just ordered a Gold Lion Genalex Tube from E-bay but it has Cryoset Deep Cryogenic Treatment. Do you have any opinions on this tube and its Cryro treatment? I'm going to use it in my ModWright Sony 5400. Its going to replace my Mullard Blackburn 1972 NOS Tube. Here is the link:
Also, I'm using matched pair of Sophia Electric 6SL7 Tubes on my ModWright Sony 5400, which I love totally. I'm very happy with this pair and have no desire to try and roll and compare any more tubes in that category. LOL. :-)
Wig, I e-mailed Dan at ModWright this week about the upgrade to the PS 9.9 because I was curious since I have the PS 9.0 on a ModWright Sony 5400.
Dan responded with the prices for the upgrade and told me "The new supply, being tube regulated AND tube rectified, adds much greater harmonic content and a broader soundstage. It is a bit warmer and much more 3-dimensional."
I'm sure I will upgrade sooner or later. Sounds like a good upgrade path to me. ;-) Joe
