    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    How does the Mullard CV6 compare to the National Union 7193? Your description of the Mullard suggests it's similar in sonics to the NU.

    How have you liked the Belden cables so far. Did you get interconnects, and did you build them yourself or purchase them already made?

    Farad or Sean Jacobs LPS for M Scaler

    At one point, I had 4 Farad Super 3s in my system using custom built DC cables to power various network devices. There was a significant uptick in quality when I added a Sean Jacobs LPS. I've since upgraded that to a Sean Jacobs ARC6 and not looked back.

    What is the best 5U4G ?

    Almost every non-adapting 5U4G variant I tried was objectively better than the Tak 274B for me simply because of its overly emphasized mids, and artificial tonality across the frequency spectrum that sacrifices transparency. If that's the sound you need based on the context of your current...

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    I believe any rectifier that can't be used on a Pacific or Horizon can be used here as well. The Zebrano wood looks scrumptious.

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    PM me. I have non-TP adapters that Laszlo was providing with the PT-14s before they developed the TP adapter design. I have a pair but others have pairs and quads they'd be willing to sell as well. Just know that going the TP adapter route is inevitable;-)

    Wait until you change the adapters to TP adapters. At this point your rectifier might be the weak link

    Whose setup is this? Is there distortion in the pic or are the outside curves of the bass horn wider than the insides?

    You started it here with this post: https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/set-amp-owners-thread.27070/post-941205 You were trolling and got a riposte and took offense?

    SET amp owners thread

    But it's also in the SET subforum of the site. Not sure why this should be where an OTL vs SET debate has to be flared up by an OTL manufacturer. A separate thread in this subforum, or even better, in the general forum might be more appropriate.

    Here I was thinking this was a SET amp appreciation thread. Hopefully we can go back to it being what it was created for. If only hinting would suffice.

    I don't feel that phone recordings/playback convey anything worthwhile besides the enjoyment of hearing wonderful music while looking at images in video. They might convey some relevant datapoints of a system before and after changes are made, but even in that case, there are too many variables...

    It's coincidental that they have the same color scheme as the Wyetechs. Will they eventually be a match made in heaven? Who knows?

    Anyone have any experience with the Wyetech Labs Ruby XR300b? I have it in house currently and was wondering if there are any tube upgrade experiences to share. It goes without saying that these monoblocks are leagues better than my Line Magnetic 508ia. All the Altec talk is getting my juices...

    LampizatOr Baltic 3

    I've tried both National Union and Tungsol 6C8G - they have similar gain, maybe just a smidge more than the ECC32. No issues with them.
