Regarding the Russian 6DJ8, that is what Leonard told me years ago when I first discussed replacement tubes with him. Yes, one tough 6DJ8 for sure! You have the right of it with regard our discussion .......

It's now been three weeks since I finihsed replacing all the SCR mkp caps in the signal path of my ARC SP6A. The bulk of the caps are now AuriCaps, with the coupler between V5 and V6 being a Jensen co .......

Fred, Apples here are orange and the oranges are red. You definitely have three push-pull pairs in parallel. To prove it, pull V7 and V10. I'll bet a date with Christina Applegate, that the amp will s .......

146: ARC SP10 - tubes! (2.02)
Posted by Bambi B on 2003-09-15, 07:38:19 (67.73.15.59)
seesaw, I've been using an SP10 (an SP8 also) since 1985, 99% phono, classical. The SP10 is perhaps still one of the most refined phono preamps ever, but as you have heard already- difficult for tubes .......

Hi Bambi - Thanks for the reply, I appreciate your opinions and hard work at this! Most all of my listening is CDs, I haven't rolled and don't plan to roll any in the phono section. Also for the sake .......

Always happy to lend my .02 worth, Bambi. As always, YMMV :) In my experience, the white label 6922 is the best tube sonically for V9/V10, but the most fragile and microphonic, so I use them sparingly .......

Posted by Bambi B on 2004-03-11, 05:18:33 (209.179.140.25)
Robert, The REF 1 is quite an amazing unit. I'm a bit confused though when you say "eliminate those tubes used in the phono stage" as the REF1 is a line stage without a phono section. The matching pho .......

MB3045 Tube Biasing RE-ADJUSTMENT Re-adjustment is necessary when the 6240G (V4) and 8045G are replaced. It is not necessary to re-adjust when the 12AX7, 12AU7 or the 6240G (V3) are replaced. On the C .......

Analog Scott, I think we have some similar points to our systems: for my main system since 1987, I've used an SP10 (SP8 85-87) and D115, Vandersteen 2CE, Oracle III/SME V, (no CDP). Since the first da .......
