I'm using 50's RCA 2A3 tubes. I'm done.
Has anyone tried "kr px4" tubes in the lio dht?
Hey Vinnie, What is an acceptable difference in "ma" for a so called "matched pair" of DHT's for the LIO??
What do you guys like about them OR what do they give you over/in comparison to the stock tubes?

Has anyone tried "kr px4" tubes in the lio dht?I remember hearing them years ago,in a eddie current balancing act headphone amp,and they sounded amazing! Rich tonality,extended highs..Any thoughts?
Will the ElRog 300B work on the LIO? Thomas Mayer has recently taken over their manufacture (a huge +) and I wonder how they would compare to the other 300Bs out there (Thoriated Tungsten 300B, drool). However, I think they require a current regulated source. Mayer has just joined this forum, so maybe he can chime in. Shawn
These:https://tubedepot.com/products/rca-2a3-gray-platesI have them as well and really like them! (they currently are in my "favorites" list) Need to find a good source of them - they are rare.Not sure how these RCA 2A3 "gray plates" compare to the black plate version (which seem to be more commonly found).Not me (yet), decur. These are the ones:http://tubesusa.com/KRtubes.html ($732/pair)mmm, more DHTs !!! Vinnie
Vinnie,if i get a pair of the kr px4s for my lio dht,i will definitelly send them your way,to try out
but every time I've heard 300B, there's been a lot of hype associated and I've seen the tubes used in a lot of high-end equipment. I've just always expected them to be some magical tube so would think people would use them in LIO if available?
Does the DHT pre also replace the original volume control?
If you have the DHT pre, can you decide to go without the tubes and jumper something out to continue using the LIO?
Oh I understand. I've always wanted to hear a 300B amp because I was under the impression that they were the king of tube amps but I don't know anything about them. The question was more for my understanding, not checking on other peoples choices. The the listening reviews it sounds like I'd be picking something other than the 300b myself if I had the DHT.
Has anyone tried 45's? I know nothing about them but am looking at some Sylvania 45 Black Plates.
Tom,I have a pair of National Union 45 BlackPlates that you can borrow if you like.George
