I am using JJ E88CC Gold Pins cryo treated from Cryoset Tubes.
http://www.cryoset.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_24&products_id=410&osCsid=imjsd12vvisqgi5gogsl7acub6

And the rectifier is a Scott branded Mullard copper plate 5AR4 from the early 60's.

Since I haven't rolled any caps I do not know what the effect of them is.  I just went with the Mundorf Supreme S/G/O as that's what is recommended for running fully balanced.  Plus the previous owner had two already installed for single-ended operation and he bought them from SonicCraft so it was easy to get two more well matched ones as they had all the data form the first pair.  All four caps matched to within 0.02%!
I took your advice and bought those JJ's. I got the super cryo ones but not the gold pins. I like them very much! :D Probably have about 25 hrs. on them. Nice to have quality current production 6922 tubes.

Hey Roy,

Glad you like them!

The current production vacuum tubes have taken a beating from critics and I think it's a shame because that conveys a bigger, overall message that it is junk when it's not.  I love tubes but can't afford the expensive NOS tubes and it would be nice if there was a review source just for the current production tubes.

NEW G2G ON THE HORIZON :thumb:

Hello All!

I'm happy to announce that I will be hosting a G2G on Saturday February 24th at Woody's Garage. People are welcome to show up at 11:00 and stay as long as we can stay awake. Many of you have been here before so welcome back. Many have shown interest but haven't made it yet so I look forward to seeing new faces. Let's get a count started to see how much interest we have. I think the conclusion is that I can realistically have 8 or 10 people at once until we just plain run out of room.

You are welcome to bring something food wise to share and of course whatever you would like to drink. I will have some beverages here and will be making something to contribute in the food dept.     

A few people have already offered to bring some really exciting gear, I will let them post here what that is. If you have audio gear you would like to bring post it and we will see what we end up with. I currently have a Lampizator Atlantic Pre-Dac with all the bells and whistles. My speakers are still the Super V's and my source is a mac mini.

If you have any questions you can post them here or PM me. If you need my address or phone number you can PM me for that as well.

This is going to be really exciting. I for one am looking forward to getting together and hearing new gear. It's especially fun with a bunch of obsessed audio guys. 


Happy Listening :thumb:

Oh, Goodness. May I go? 8)

I could bring my D Sachs amp and preamp, and the new Mivera Ice edge1200as SE amp, and a dB Audio Labs SE DAC. If I upgrade the tweeters in my Apollos, I’ll have them as well. However, I haven’t yet confirmed this with Lou.

Michael, that all sounds great to me :thumb:.

Looking forward to hearing the new Miverna amp with my Lampi Atlantic for sure and your new Don Sach amp with it maybe even more :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: And I definatley want to hear your Don Sach amp and pre., together, that is going to be exciting for sure.

Just found out my Servo amps will be shipping out on Monday so I will have them in plenty of time.

Laura

Hi Laura,

I don't have either  :lol:

I only use a mac mini for a source although  I do have a cheap CD player in the room I can hook up. I haven't tried it with my Lampi yet so don't know how it compares to my mac mini.

I would love to get a vinyl rig in there some day but of course no one would want to bring one to try.

Well, as soon as I answer Laura's post Flo offers up bringing his vinyl rig :thumb:.

That would be great Flo, I have never heard vinyl in my system before or in this room.

Well Alan, it would be good to see you.

If you can't make it just keep me posted, my guess is this is going to fill up fast.
