| Rawson Resale...... Cdc,Tim stays busy with his offerings and may not respond right away. He however will give you any info you need before treading the waters. I may be looking to unload a dual mono bpa 300 shorly. Tim built this special and this version has two tra... | |
| Can a 5z4 tube be a metal bottle? Wow Rodman99999 nice links. I don't know the current brand of rectifier tube in the pre as of yet but if it's not a Mullard or GE,RCA I mentioned it's outa of there. The OD3 you advised will be ordered shortly. Thanks again : ) | |
| Can a 5z4 tube be a metal bottle? Ah the famous Mullard. I have a pair in my current pre (6922,6dj8). Very nice indeed. How common are the Mullard 5Z4 tubes Rodman99999? | |
| Can a 5z4 tube be a metal bottle? Rodman9999 again you come through. I have some tubes I saw on another site that I might try. One is a GE the other a RCA. The pre should be here next week. Stay tuned. | |
| Can a 5z4 tube be a metal bottle? Look like my question went on deaf ears. However I did find two pics of 5Z4 tubes that are in a metal case. Quite different from the glass tubes I'm used to seeing. Now if I can find the subs to these tubes it would give me some other choices. | |
| Unfamiliar tubes for a preamp One other question comes to mind on the rectifier tube. It looks like a GZ30 tube is the same as the 5Z4. Could someone verify this. Thanks in advance. | |
| Unfamiliar tubes for a preamp Thanks Rodman99999 for the info. I knew about the Ecc88 but was in a fog about the others. The 1 in front of the 5Z4P tube was probably given by mistake. I'll check on the RCA OD3 once the pre arrives. Thanks for the link. | |
| Rawson Resale...... Tim opened my eyes to the chip amp experience a couple of years ago and I have not looked back. I have owned several of his amps and a preamp and sold them with no problems. Tim's name is well known as you can see and that's why his offerings go q... | |
| Tube rectification Thanks to Bdgregory and Tigerclose for there replies. I agree that swapping tubes does tweak the sound. Thus far I have tried three sets of nos tubes. A pair of gold pin siemans,a pair of rcas made in west germany,and a pair of mullards. All have ... | |
| Tube rectification I suppose my post made me look a bit uneducated in terms of a tube preamps function. To rectify means to change thus a tube pre can do this with a tube or without as mine does. In any case I'm glad I back with the glass bottle. | |
| The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ? Great thread indeed--Marcus Miller--great bass player. | |
| More pre-amp help....? Feeling lost Robbob, Just picked up a Soundstage two tube pre. This piece was used and modded but you should be able to find a new piece here. Not sure of the origin but I wil tell you that it's a big bang for the buck. Uses two 6922 tubes or the 6dj8. Very ni... | |
| Tubes for a Soundstage Two pre Hi ED,Yes the philips do sound good and I have my eye on some other tubes presently. I'll keep you informed as time goes by. Enjoy the music!Bret | |
| Question on twin triodes Herman thanks for the reply. I'm not sure how this pre is wired. The first owner suggested I try switching the spkr leads so I assume this is a common cathode you decribe. I do know when I did this music comes from EVERYWHERE now. This is one slee... | |
