Has anyone had any experience with 300b tubes and 45 solid plate tubes? Although I've fried a pair eml 45 mesh plate's I've gone ahead and ordered a pair of eml 45 solid plate's. I do love the sound of the tj300b's that came with the Cabernet, but until they went south, the 45 mesh's were sweet. Very lush and warm in the mid's and top end. Is their another 300 tube that sounds different, not necessarily better than the tj's? I'm realy looking for a variety of sound to play around with.
Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody
I will have a Supratek Chenin in my set up in a day or so. Since so many folks are rolling tubes around here I was hoping to garner a comprehensive list of everybodies favorite tube compliments. Be it NOS or NIB or WLATB (Whatever's layin around the basement)
Being that the "Deal of the Century" thread is a little more like a novel I figured this would be a good place to post questions and answers related to one subject of Supratek amps and pres.
On to the subject of me. I don't have immediate plans to swap tubes as I've figured that Mr. Maloney would supply us with something listenable for the break in period. But, since so many have reported such dramatic improvments I want to ask this question:
What is your favorite compliment for quietest gain and dynamics in the phono stage?
I will be using the Chenin exclusively for vinyl ( I don't have a CD player) and listen to loads of early rock and roll and Jazz bands, smaller jazz bands mostly, quartets and quintets. Some classical, the usual Beethoven and Mozart, but usually just a lot of loud garage rock.
Ok, now lets see what happens.
