in your auction, you state:

"...It sounds good but I was told to change the tubes ever 2 years. I don't have anyone local who can do that. My loss is your gain....."

huh? you're kidding, right? you mean you cannot remove the cover, pull two tubes out of their sockets, & stick two new ones in? you need someone local to do it, & no one can?

read the rewiew you link in the auction. swapping the tubes will make the dac sound a lot better, even if nothing is wrong w/the stock tubes... there's a plethora of 6922 tubes you can swap into this for not a lot of money...

why are you really selling this?

I actually don't know if the tubes are run that hard in the DAC 60, I didn't spot that they were. If they aren't run super hard you should get much more than 2 years out of the tubes, fwiw.

It may be easy for someone who has done it before. I am not about to take that chance.

I read somewhere that the tubes are run pretty hard on this DAC. I don't want to wait till they burn out and then try to sell a non-working DAC.

Thanks for your help and the bump.

if you can change a lite bulb, you can change a tube. it yust plugs in. you do not even need to turn it.

certainly, there are dozens of folks local to you that can do it for you, & they likely won't even charge you anything...

Any of you live near Philly or Baltimore that could help me out ? I am half way between.

I think any of us could help you through this on the phone in about a minute or so, shoot me a PM if you'd like some assistance, it's really quite simple.

I'm one of the least technically inclined people there is (no comments from the peanut gallery please) and I've managed to change quite a few tubes, including in the DAC 60, without any trouble whatsoever.

No question that it will sell. But, (and I doubt the only reason), is tube change, I too would be happy to walk you through. PM me and it's easy to do!

My husband tried to take the lid off today ( he usually has no interest in my hobby unless $'s are at stake.) Anyway long story short he stripped one of the screw heads. So I fired him from the job. I am just going to sell and maybe get a tube free DAC this time. There was just something right about listening to the Dead with this but I have my eye on a CI VDA-2.

I see that your reserve was not met. Was it a happy ending? I assume that you sold it privately. Best of luck in your new digital endevours.

glenda17 · « **Reply #15 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 03:13 am »

sold it thru Audiogon (<asking price)

Thanks for those who offered help.

Now the search begins for a new DAC.
