Have any TP owners experimented with placing a Shakti Stone on the TP? Thinking about trying one out and I was curious if anyone else already had.
Yes, I've had a Shakti Stone on the left side (over the PS) for some months now; it was a significant improvement in background noise reduction and overall blackness, as well as a perceived gain in resolution.
Greg,
I've commented a bit about the mod and it's SIGNIFICANT change in tube rolling on the mod thread, but to summarize:
* mod adds significant weight and overall solidity to the sound; it blew my DR's out of the TP though...too much of a good thing with them being also in the 36.5.
* I've now settled on some Emerson (RCA) black plate 6CG7's and love the sound. The Raytheon black plates are close but a bit too forward. The mod tends to move you up several rows.
* I've left the metal base in as rectifier. Anything else is a compromise for me.
Net/net, listen to David. He is spot on regarding leaving well enough alone and enjoying the mod before you add too many variables.
