AMR CD-77 anyone tried rolling the tubes?
I've not heard of anyone getting a player with Brimar EZ80, Mullard M8162 (12AT7) and GE 5687. I have heard many are now getting La Radio Technique (grey plates with mica spacers that have two small holes in them) labeled Brimar, GE 12AT7 and GE 5...

My system is now updated. I've done a lot since the last system listing in 2004 and I simply forgot to keep it current. Thanks for the heads-up! 
AMR CD-77 anyone tried rolling the tubes?
I have had a CD-77 since the summer of '07. Since that time I have tried every tube I could find in it (mostly because it is my nature to tinker and discover). In the end, the stock tube compliment that came with the player, Tungsram EZ80, Mullard...

What were the differences in each cable? Did you prefer one over the other?Strengths and weaknesses. I know what I heard.Currently you can purchase an Ultra Khan Statement II Revised/Revelation new for less than a Dominus.

Flex,The differences physically are 25% more foils (both Silver and Copper) in the Epiphany and thus more current capability and greater expense and hassle to manufacture for Electra Glide. Sound wise, the Epiphany has much more of the UK Statemen...

Mejames, don't worry about it. We are all adults and Michael has been responsible enough to verify my statement as true. It's all good.And...I still hold to my original thread. That is, to me and my ears, in my system, with the power that is provi...

By the way Mejames, as Michael Wolff knows, I live in Coral Gables (Miami), FL and have been cooped-up in a storm shuttered house since Thursday afternoon. Does that qualify for 48 hours? Actually I've been at this for more like 72 to be precise, ...

Bhouser,I find the Electra Glide cables best on the source components / front end gear. Are your Elrod Signatures 2's or 3's? If they are 3's use them on the amp and if you have a 20 amp iec, on the BP3.5 as Chris recommends. I have the same BP3.5...

Albert,First off, I'd like to take this opportunity to complement you and your Porter Outlets. The two I recieved over a week and a half ago better the PS Audio Power Ports by a good margin. When I need more outlets, I'll be back!Now back on topic... 
Electraglide Ultra Kahn / Shunyata Anaconda vx
Audiofrankj,I agree completely. I use to mix and match like a mad scientist trying to get the right balance: add a little NBS for extension and soundstage, an Elrod for bass and midrange balance and put the Electra Glide Ultra Khan on the tranport...

Good one Mejames. In the past 5 months I have purchased two Elrod Statements, an EPS-2S and an EPS-3S, Michael's cable (which was actually on a free trial basis which he will see when he checks his records and which I have the FedEx return slip to...

Michael,I did get one of your gain cables about 3 to 4 months ago I believe, I live in Florida. I had it on loan for a good week and we discussed getting source cords next if I liked it, but I decided to send it back. It just was not better then t...

Electra Glide Ultra Khan Statement II without a doubt. I have owned both cables and the PAD is just too dark. To me it sounds a lot like the Elrod Statement, great full bass, excellent mids, but a little rolled-off on the top end. After a little w...
