I'm still loving the Super Tube Rectifier. I did have a Linlai 845 DG start to chatter, I'm now blending a Linlai 845-T and 845-DG and it's working well.
I was skeptical about the Shuguang tubes too. I ended up buying a quad for my amp too. I bought them from thetubestore.com.
My brother was over and asking if I have tried the KT170s in the TRP and 6CA7-Ts in the amp yet and I have not so I'm going to try that. I did enjoy the KT170s however I found them a little too clean and precise. I like a bit of sexy swagger.
Hey Groovy-
Can you post a pic of the 6CA7 you’re talking about? I have a set of PSVANE 6CA7-TII but never pursued making a quad due to lack of availability. I hear so much crap and bad experiences about PSVANE and Shuguang that I don’t even know what to think anymore.
If you’re experimenting with Chinese tubes which supplier have you found to be the most reliable source?
