Re: audio aero cryoed tubes

Audio Aero does not use the Phillips ECG 6021 tubes anymore.
I have had two Capitoles and one Prima CDP, all come now with the Sylvania 6021W green ink tube, which is dead-quiet and trouble-free.

There are no off-the-shelf cryo 6021Ws for sale, as far as I know.
A single batch of Cryo treatment for your tubes will cost anywhere from $175 (American Cryogenics) to about $300 (Jena Labs), including shipping both ways.

The standard caps on the Capitole and Capitole Reference are made by Hovland, great caps IMO.
I do not know which caps are employed in the Signature Edition, however, they are much larger than the stock caps, and probably very expensive (said to be Teflon).
The link attached shows the caps.

By the way Audio Aero now offers an optional SE version of the Capitole Reference (at an additional cost), they have incorporated the mods developped by Globe Audio Marketing.
Good luck
Carlos
