| Help me mod my tube amp @bryoncunningham you don’t need a preamp then, unless you want some coloration between the DAC and the amp. | |
| Help me mod my tube amp @tablejockey I like the tidy form factor of a well built integrated amp. No extra cables to consider. And no extra shelf space needed. If I go separates, then I’d go all the way with a pre and dual monoblocks, which would multiply number of c... | |
| Help me mod my tube amp This capacitors shootout with sound clips is worth checking out. See if the differences are noticeable to you, and see what your preferences are. For me, it’s not a piece of music I’m familiar with or a piece that I’d choose for this type of te... | |
| Help me mod my tube amp Yeah I’m pleasantly surprised and grateful the Hovlands have lasted this long and still sound so good. Tubes may cost more than caps, but much easier to swap for sure. For the longest time, I thought the Amperex’s warmth and sweetness was about ... | |
| Help me mod my tube amp Yes, the vintage Hovlands still sound quite musically in mine. I am afraid that if I get greedy and ask for more with newer caps then I might get less in return. I also understand that a better rated and more expensive cap doesn’t mean it’ll alw... | |
| Capacitor upgrade for prima Luna dialogue premium HP I still have Hovland caps in my PL for 18 years and they still sound sublime with RFT Siemens EL34s, and a mix of 12ax7 to roll for gains: Mullard box plate, Amperex Heerlen, Telefunken, and Tungsram. | |
| Help me mod my tube amp Byron, it’s been a few months now. The caps should be well burned in. How are they holding up and how are you enjoying the sound so far? Is the sound stable with different temperature? Do you wish the sound can still improve a bit in a certain... | |
| RCA 6SN7 grey bottles Thanks for your input | |
| RCA 6SN7 grey bottles @billpete Good point about hunting and gathering. | |
| RCA 6SN7 grey bottles @buellrider97 Thanks. Great feedback. I am surprised that this pair is offered by Brent Jessee. Didn’t think he’d sell such a mixed pair, unless he’s really low in stock for those tubes. There are much better looking pairs on eBay. 🤷🏻♂️ | |
| RCA 6SN7 grey bottles They seem to sound fine, for now. But if there are better visually matching pairs available wouldn’t you rather have those instead? | |

| RCA 6SN7 grey bottles How do these look? | |
| RCA 6SN7 grey bottles Ok, good to know. I guess for music applications it’s mostly cosmetic. For military purposes back in the day it might make a difference due to all the other electronics cramped together. | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC That’s interesting. The baritone solo in the “Estuans Interius” track of the Carmina Burana album is right to the center for me, not left. I double checked to make sure my connections are not flipped some where in the chain, and they’re not. Th... |
