Just changed tubes in my Dodd pre...
« on: 1 Mar 2007, 02:40 pm »
I have a friend who has the ability to try many many different tubes in his Dodd battery pre.

I was at his house a month ago and we compared the tubes that I have (amperex Orange) with his favorite...Seiman Gold pins (9622?)from the 1950's....  The Seimans did everything right and allowed more emotion to come through.  More decay in the notes, more air around instruments etc..

I finally got a pair from him and immeadiately put them in.  Holy smokes, it made even more of a difference in my system than I heard in his.

This is a great upgrade.  Highest recomendation if you can find them.

Can you verify the p/n and I'll try to locate some.  Don't have my Dodd yet.  How long have you had yours?

How many do we need to buy, 2 or 4?

Looking forward to comparing the Dodd to my Cary SLP98.

I've had mine about 4-5 months.  You need 2.  The guy I got them from lives within an hour of you.

I'll PM you with his contact info.

I would be VERY surprised if you don't hear a big difference between those two pre's.

Fire sale!! :flame:

oops, better wait to hear it first.

I am selling my Cary 303/300 CDP this weekend.  Believe it or not I got a Raysonic and really like it.  Actually produces more detail than the Cary.  And for less dough!
