Thanks @yogiboy , that confirmed the heat dissipation issue . BTW nice rig , I live 2 hours south of Quicksilver. I was seriously considering their gear until my buddy gifted me a pair of Rogue M-180’s that needed repair. In your post it mentions oscillation due to a poor connection. One of the amps had a bad resistor on the 12AX7 phase tube and when it would intermittently act up it made the most god awful noise. With 180 watts wide open it was LOUD. I need to post my rig , so coming soon. Thanks , and Best Wishes , Mike B.
Tube Extenders Where to find?
Hello, I need to purchase the LISST tube substitutes for my Freya +
They require tube extenders...does anyone know where I may find them? Thanks
from Schiit Audio: they just need to be less than 1.3in or 33mm in diameter, and tall enough so that the base of LISST doesn't have to go through the hole in the Freya's top.

The Freya+ has the sockets deeply extended into the chassis so if you want to change the tubes you have to grab the glass instead of the base. That is why "socket savers", "tube lifters", "tube extenders", etc. are preferred. You can order them from Amazon but they may not be of great quality but on the other hand you can send them back easily. The tube sellers listed above have them. I trust Jim and Charles at Tubes and More to have very good quality "savers", "lifters", "extenders". You may have seen them on their YouTube channel demonstrating how to loosen up the ones they have for sale. Here's their link: https://valvesnmore.com/product-category/speaker-posts/ |
