Line Mangnetic CD player 515. Tube rolling .


"Line Mangnetic".   Hahaha. Sorry I can't edit the heading.

Hi team... I’ve bought a cd515 and it’s fantastic. It uses 6KZ8 tubes in the output stage. I have some Nos RCA knocking around and I wondered if anyone has made any improvements to their player by tube rolling. It sounds very good with the stock tubes and I’m happy to the point where I may just leave it alone. Unless of course someone has different ideas.... Thoughts please.

Thanks very much.....

Hi there, I've been so happy with it that I decided to leave it alone. I have done extensive tube rolling with my 518Ia and that's made incremental benefits. I've never been happier with my stereo end to end. Both the CD player And my TT are sounding the best I've ever heard them.  
hia guys, I rolled in some nos GE 6L6 and some Nos philips sq miniwatt 12ax7. i tried some nos philips rectifiers 60s age. but preferred  the original ( surprisingly). I also liked the original 845s over the psvane we845s . The GE6L6 gave me a nice bottom end improvement. And the philips 12ax7 gave me a lovely smooth, but still sparkly top end. it’s a great amp.
