Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

[Gryffles]

Exactly right, there is no other way to know which tubes work best until we try them.

My GG uses the older 5942 engine so perhaps that has something to do with it vs the newer versions.

I would have tried PX25 except I’m limited by the combined heater current draw with this balanced model

I would like to try the KR 242 however I’d only try used as the success rate is 50/50 from what I’ve read.

You shouldn't listen to valves/tubes.

It's long been known they are rubbish.

In many respects they are.

But you have to sit there and listen.

Then, somehow, all the faults seem acceptable.

It is curious, I agree, but for me it does seem to be true.

Just spent a month on post #1 of this thread.

Those EML AD1s ring like fuck. Forget pre and post ring. They just ring like fuck. Bad boys, no question.

Like your fave sounding fucked up scratched to shit record, hard not to love when you compare them to other stuff because they really are ace sounding at times, even with all obvious flaws being apparent.

Time for a roll now, though.

All comments in post #1 still stand.

Very introspective! Good to go with what you know to be sure. I’d also like to add that UFO and Space 1999 RULES!
