    Vintage fivre Wege high tubes Zetopak Also another account.. cartago_delenda_est I know of at least 4 accounts he has on ebay. That's how it all started, he has some odd tubes that would be good to add to a collection but most not working. Having a high price means they never really get sold...

    Tube rolling mishap with my Lampizator.

    Same experience my end, he sells defective products and when you bring it up, it becomes a really really unpleasant experience. Someone like that has no place in our community, I hope the moderators can review this whole thread and protect the community. I was hoping that I would be the only...

    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    2 pairs and it was a crazy experiment. Knowing how much each costs imagine if one tube blew or cracked. Thankfully it was safe and not only that it worked very very well :) I tried it a few months ago over August and September last yr. It is indeed an ultra high end roll. I don't think anyone on...

    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    Thank you:) I think the difference might come down to the upgraded caps and chokes I have. The Svetlana is a good one. More recently I have found some prorotype rectifiers that seem very compelling indeed. Being prototypes though, not applicable to the wider community unfortunately

    LampizatOr Horizon - Tube Rolling Paradise

    It has been a while since I introduced the c3g to the forum . Steve is right the Telefunken is special and golum is right the s is special. To answer your question Christoph the e83f can't beat the c3gs, neither can the ef802 or 804. The only ones that beat the c3g is the ec8020 and the...

    Tube rolling mishap with my Lampizator.

    And yes we all know who seller b is. Personally he has sold me dead tubes and make a huge ruckus on wbf when I refused to pay him for dead tubes. The moderators know. I just wished ppl like that were kicked off the forum before more damage is done.

    Having said that the Telefunken mesh is better than the valvo solid. At least the one I have compared with. There is also a brass pin version of the valvo 2504 out there. Sounds different. And no it is not just the plating sanded off. Whole pin is just brass

    CH Precision L10/M10 mono vs Kondo G1000i/Kagura

    I had a chance to listen to Thomas's system recently where Thomas has been a most gracious host. The system running the af0 and the p10 with st tonearm was quite the revelation. This is a highly nuanced system where the kagaras running the rca 211 showed up tonality soundstage and dynamics in...

    Esoteric t1

    Indeed I bought the table without the ikeda arm. My philosophy is that as a source it's role is just to get you details... As much details and extraction as possible.. After that down in the chain you can then change tonality etcetc. Hence currently my primary control fcl with atmc2032 wins...
