Great; I know that Dan had confirmed it was safe to use in the MW Transporter.

I have NOS TSRP's, as well as some Ken-Rad's, that I will try, but I was really impressed with the Black Treasures in my MW Transporter.

Thanks,

Randy

I am using TS BGRPs in the LS-100 and Treasures in the MWTP.  I just rolled Sylvania Bad Boys in the MWTP to see how that sounded.  Too early to report anything.

BGRP's? Does that mean the Round Plates? Wondering what the "BG" means.
I have TS RP's, I take it you are enjoying then in the LS 100?

BG = Black Glass ...if I am not mistaken
RP should indeed be Round Plate

Tung Sol Black Glass Round Plates is a just little bit more typing than TS-BGRP

Hey Dan, 

Just a post to say the new preamp is beautiful and sounds great.  I was at Echo Audio in Portland yesterday and they had it on display playing in the listening room.  It sure looks great with the cool blue back lighting and new chassis architectural metal work.  Very nice :thumb:

Thank you so much Vlasis!  You are a true gentleman!  I appreciate your support and that you took the time to put together so much information on the Greek forum.

For the record!  Vlasis is NOT on the MWI payroll.  He is just a happy customer and a very gracious person.

Take care!

Dan

Just a quick note on the LS 100 phono stage. I installed the phono stage last week. Had a pin misalignment on the first try (old eyes), but no harm. Reinstalled it correctly the second time. This is a "must have" for those of you with both vinyl and an LS 100. Comparing it to the tubed Oppo, they are much more alike than different. The differences are only the standard analog vs. digital differences. The phono stage bests the tubed Oppo in width of soundstage and treble purity. The Oppo besting the phono stage in bass and clarity. My phono playback uses a Rega 25 and Grado Sonata cartridge, no special cabling, so I'm fairly certain that a better vinyl system will remove the slight veil that's only apparent when switching to the Oppo for comparison.

The really great part is that the sale of my old phono stage, it's pair of interconnects, and it's power cord MORE than paid for the phono stage.

It's a tribute to Dan that my old $60K system is now a $30K system, and sounds so much better!!!

Dan selected a couple from his collection. Not sure what they are. I'm using his 12AU7, but I put a NOS Mullard CV4004 in the other spot. Didn't really take the time to compare since I needed to get things put away for the Christmas family dinner.

Interesting since I just bought the Mullard CV4004 for this.  I am going to be using a Tung-sol black plate 12au7 with the Mullard.

Can I put the LS100 into standby mode with the KWA150 powered up? Does it turn off the tubes?

Is it recommended to leave the KWA150 powered up 24 hours a day?
