I'm 99% sure nobody tried 604 or 186 yet...but yes - would be nice
5V, 0.25A?Has anyone tried a 201a or 301a? Is it definite that these will work?
That was a pair i wanted to get - quite rare coke bottle 604s and he told me they are tiptop...Your man Luke has just listed some 604...
Matched pair arriving from cold Canada ... intriguing Northern (Western) Electric DX-235, which is supposedly Western Electric's attempt at a 112/201A and advertised by them to be less microphonic than what the 201A and 112A variants were at the time.
Finally someone posted on the diff of those two! Thanks!Comments on KR242 Vs RK242 versions using the GG1 , resting on Shunmook Giants... Powered with a Stage3 Concepts Leviathan PC , fed from a TAD D600 as transport. Recti used : RK5u4g
Those familiar with the performance envelope of the KR242 may want to shift their goalposts as to what is possible with the RK242 . Significantly raises the bar and is a superior tube in every parameter . The heroic build and better QC seems to promote in the RK242 a more current rich ,tonally pure sound with a significantly more varied tonal palette . Headroom limitless, Gargantuan drive cloaked with a velvet glove. No slowing of tempo and flow due to its superior density and image weight , much much better 3 dimensionality to image and stage. Superlatives all !!! yes ...but is just the case... Going back to the the KR242 ( never thought would be saying this) seems almost anemic in nature and greyed out in its hues. If the 242 works in your system, hard to imagine any other tube coming even close. Regular KR242 users should definitely investigate. Thanks for reading.
Lol. I went back on eBay to buy that pair and realized it was gone. Glad it went to you. Keep us posted.Matched pair arriving from cold Canada .
Thanks for the tip..
