We all have our pet peeves… mine these days is class D and perhaps amps without tubes in general… perhaps I just like the bias required to run valves lol… perhaps we are all just works in progress.
Sonic preference is very different to all of us.. no matter what. Nothing is right or wrong. Most important is to enjoy what’s sounds best for ones own preference, right?!?Sonic preference is very different from making the same arguments against videos for last 4 years
The Blackburn Mullards or Telefunken ecc82 smooth plate(smooth anode sheets not corrugated) 're the best midrange.I just discovered that I have a variety of 12AU7s to choose from for the VTL pre-amp:

Which of these will achieve the creamiest midrange or the greatest tonal density, or both?
the E88CC are 6DJ8/6922 not 12AU7 also as in your previous post the ECC801S are 12AT7 so you should go with the MullardsI just discovered that I have a variety of 12AU7s to choose from for the VTL pre-amp:

For me better sharing a video on a shared medium like an iPhone than just believing some hyperbole filled self proclamation post about what is happening in someone’s systems… lord save us from night and day differences syndrome…
I very much appreciate even a limited objective glimpse shared in Ron’s video. Btw very nice Ron! Sounding good!
yes this has been documented by you for four years to the point of boredom and zero value addition to the forum. Welcome back to your disruptive ways of derailing a thread! Every time you promised you wouldn’t do it again…well leopard and spotsAnd those videos almost always turn me off.
Mildly surprised by this as I have invariably found Telefunkens to impart a somewhat more * Brightly Lit* presentation especially where compared with Mullards?
With Phil Ressler (213cobra) I just completed my first tube swap: matched pair of Telefunken ECC 801Ss for 12AT7s in the Siegfried IIs.
Well, I hear a difference! The piano is less bright and "tinkly" and more natural sounding!
Now I'm excited to put special Telefunken tubes in the preamp!
Thanks very much to Phil for visiting tonight and hearing the Pendragons for the first time, and for giving me his initial impressions and advice!

Actually, I made a compliment to Ron about his video -- on his thread. No derailment there. Sure I should not have made a snide comment about other videos, but I didn't start a disruptive discussion in defense of those. It was you and others. So if you stop, the derailment of the thread stops.
yes and used that post for your usual agenda. You wished him no compliment, it was a just a conduit for you to say what you always wanted to about iPhone videos. Stop being dishonest
No, Ked, I honestly wished to compliment Ron. I was genuinely and positively surprised about the quality of the video and delighted about what it suggests as to the sound of the system. It doesn't speak to your character if you suggest more sinister motivations.
