| Which Kimber comparable to Acoustic Zen Satori Wkass, Did you report this to the Audiogon moderators? | |
| Help on ancient Audionics CC-2s Thanks for the read about Bob Sickler. The CC-2 amp was indeed very special for its time. | |
| Best Overall Value in a KT-88 tube Shuguang KT88-98 or GEKT88. Buy from a reputable dealer and make sure a pair or quad is matched carefully. As for dealers, I recommend Doug at Dougstubes.com | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Rhyno, Rolling tubes in 2 and 4 also made a difference to my ears. Joseph told me from day one that 1 and 3 were more critical to the sound, but 2 and 4 also play a role in the overall sonics, IMHO. (o: | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier The only float I use(if you can call this a float) is a suggestion that Pat(Rx8man) gave a couple of years ago by using small o-ring gaskets between the screws and the Pcb. I think this is just an isolation rather than a true float. I'm not sure i... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Oops! I just looked at my e-mail from Victor and this new tweak will be a bi-metal wiring harness said to "give the music more warmth, richness and purity of tone". Cost is estimated at $300-$350. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier You are right on about experimenting with different tubes in the AH preamp. I just bought a pair of older(1958) Amperex e88cc I am going to experiment with. I found that so far my preamp sounds best with a pair of early 60's Siemens Cca in locatio... | |
| LUXMAN T-117 You might want to contact Joseph Chow. He is an expert with tuners. http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/dad.pl?misctunr&1292425763 | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Agreed. Most everyone knows that although Siemens made the E88cc and cca identically, the cca were specially selected for the post office back then. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I don't know the seller, but he's selling here on the Gon a pair and a quad of Siemens E88cc. The quad is relabeled CBS, but they look like the real McCoy to me. I'd be curious of what the date codes are. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Keep your eyes open for a few German dealers on Ebay. Occasionally they come up with some nice Cca tubes for a great deal. The ones to look for are the early 60's with grey plates. I just got in a pair from one dealer for $150.00(1960 dates) and a... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Oops! I meant to say $45.00 /each for the Gold Lion Genalex tube. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Due to the poor economy, I believe, you can now find a good pair of NOS Siemens Cca for $150-$200. Still expensive, but better than the $300-$400/pr. from not too long ago. I have been reading that the new Gold Lion E88cc/6922 might be a good new ... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Well, I finally won a cheap old tube tester on Ebay and I'm glad I have it now. When it arrived a couple of weeks ago, I tested my Siemens Cca tubes and although they both measured over 85% good, they both tested gassy. I bought a NOS pair of Cca ... | |
| cable burn-in / system burn-in I think he meant 200 hours of continous signal in the system, not the cable cooker. |
