He is single-handily supplying the whole Transporter crew He is the same seller I got my Tung Sols from back on Feb 3.
I won a pair of RCA VT-231's from him Feb 3. They arrived in Cleveland OH on the following Monday, Feb 9!!!!
I think the NOS 6SN7 tube dealers owe Ted, David and George commission for creating a market for these tubes in the Transporter. Ken
Guys I just had the pleasure of meeting w/George, my EXTREMELY local EML distributor. I emailed George today to order thinking it might take a month and here I am listening and loving this new tube a few hrs later. I knew when he knocked on my door sporting a NY Yankees cap and and hand delivering a big beautiful EML box, I would like him. Although only 100hrs on MWTP, that GE rectifier is history except for dual with the stock transporter after 200hrs for all of an hour probably. Almost pointless since I'm enjoying my EML way too much already, but I did say I would do it. The EML (mesh version)immediately transformed my MWTP into a much better component. Although still not broken in, the thinness is GONE! The musical resolution has increased greatly and just very impressed how much of a change this tube has made. The mesh version I read on here is more laid back, but with my Merlins, works great. Now the EML will break in with the MWTP and should settle in nicely by the time I get the Octals with TS round plates in there , wondering how much better this is gonna get
Ted tells us that the EML coupled with the 6SN7's are the killer well, by the end of the month, a few more of us will be enjoying this combo .What comes next?
Guess we'll lock the thread! Power cords!!!
Moving away from power cords One thing I do notice about the TP with the EML tube is that I'm starting to enjoy live concerts more than studio recordings. For example the live bonus disc with Adele's CD, 19, I found was on the coarse/shrill sound, now it sounds like you're on the front row at the club in which the recording was made. Anyone else have the same experience? Or any other topic to move away from pc's that we can share?

Or any other topic to move away from pc's that we can share?A couple of my favorites with the EML Mesh tube are live recordings: Grateful Dead - "The Closing of Winterland" and The Dave Matthews Band - "Weekend on The Rocks." I was thinking when I listened to these recordings today that they sounded really special, just as if I were attending the concerts. Ken
The Kaplan Cable 3amp conditioner cord is excellent on the Modwright TP. aa
As is the Lessloss. I've found a new fave, thanks to David, the non-ferrite version of the Cardas Golden Ref pc. Wow, great wide bandwidth yet smooth and lush. No sense of rolloff or accentuated bumps anywhwere. Two on my Spectrons, one on my 36.5 (oops, i keep forgetting, that one's David's. ). I have a couple SR Tesla cords in for demo now, the active T2 and T3. I will see if either knocks off the Cardas, then try the Cardas on the TP.
Wow, that is wild! Wild, that you guys are talking about live recordings and the EML (and octals ). I noticed this tonight and realized I was really enjoying ambiance a whole lot more...live recordings from the Village Vanguard (Bill Evans, etc.), Patricia Barber stuff (Live Fortnight in Paris, Companion), a couple of Mapleshade live jazz recordings, etc. Phil, as el presidente I will officially say that this tube rolling thread cannot get hijacked by power cord discussions, ok? Hell, you were the one who asked the musical question "what comes next".
