Some listeners find the LS2 (and other ARC mostly-solid state models---the LS2 contains only one tube) to sound a little "dry" as well as bright (leading to their sound being characterized as "white"), so a tube that helps the pre achieve a more "liquidly transparent" sound is worth looking for. Which such tubes are I don't know.
tube for ARC LS2B II preamp
Hi,
I'm looking for advice as to what might be a warm sounding 6922 tube for my ARC LS2B. I've recently begun listening to a lot of jazz and I'm finding that the sound is a bit bright for my tastes. I'm currently using a Tungsram tube which sounds good while listening to most types of music, but not jazz. Perhaps a single tube will not help with the brightness but any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
My equipment in addition to the ARC preamp: Bel Canto Ref500 amps, Cayin CD-50T, Vandersteen 3A Signatures.
