Sorry for the delay, I've been real busy. Like I said he is low on these tubes, but you're right he does sell them for 59$. I didn't mean to list them that high; maybe I had four tubes on the brain...I only have three! I'll offer anyone here 130$ with free shipping in original boxes. Sound better? thanks Jon

Kevin is low on these tubes...the closest match he has is too far off in bias. I'd keep them but I'm hoping somone has a need for three, I don't. I wish I could keep them or find a match for these, I think these are all matched to a bias of around 48. DC

(3) KT-90 EI Type III from Upscale Audio. Matched quad but my PC keyboard fell & broke one while I had the cages off my Quicksilver amps. These have a max of 200 hours on them, killer tubes that are as good as the type I & II. Fully tested by Upscale Aduio in Tubezilla and matched by them. 170$ shipped

I'm looking for a power amp to run (1) klipsch AW-800 outdoor sub & (1) AW-500SM outdoor stereo speaker. I just enough juice, nothing special. I don't even need a sub output. looking to spend 150-70$ max.... Any suggestions? thanks! DC

Got some static on the right RF-7 tweeter, in addition to the tube hiss that is usually present there and on the left. Here' what I have done so far: Switched the power tubes between amps > static remains. Replaced with a new 12AX7 on offending channel > static remains. Switched RCA cables outputs at preamp > static moved to opposite channel. Switched RCA cable outputs to Main Out 2 (in same L/R config)> Static remains on opposite channel. STATIC IS PRESENT WITH PREAMP IN ALL MODES: CD/TUNER/PHONO ETC. It seems like the preamp is to blame, but I don't know this stuff well enough. Is there one tube (1 of the 3 6922s) that would be in use for all the modes? thanks DC

Thanks for all the good information & ideas all. And yeah, I've got "thingamabobs", so this isn't right, right? [] I'll discuss much of what was mentioned here with the electrician; he was out here once to fix an outlet (it was wired incorrectly) on this line, the 15A for this room; he's a pretty knowledgeable guy. We talked about some audio stuff when he saw the stereo. cheers, DC

This problem recently started and I have been here two years. The Brickwall is a pretty wel designed piece of equipment that is supposed to protect from some pretty fast transients. I need to have my wife trip the AC on while I watch the voltmeter on the Panamax to see if this is a surge or drop. DC

I am getting a power spike on my stereo when the AC kicks on. The circuit for the stereo is a 15A line and all my stuff is pulling about 5amps. Everything is behind a Panamax 5510 which is plugged into a Brickwall Surge protector which goes to wall outlet. I don't understand why this spike is making it "into" my system. Archiving vinyl & I'm seeing a spike on the VU meters and when the speakers are on I hear a popping and pulse. I am worried about my tube amps and other gear & planning on calling the electrician. The Panamax has been good about completely shutting down when "unsafe" voltage conditions occur. So maybe this is a drop in voltage when the AC kicks in? Thus forcing the Panamax into a momentary lapse? DC

Thanks Scott. Email sent with total; packed and ready to go! For the record, this is what has been keeping me happily occupied (the baby's nice too []): Jon

Curious what KT-90s you were using... thanks Jonathan

Fanfare FT-1 FM tuner 395 obo or Dynalab Etude 600$ shipped Anyone had any experience with these models/brands? I have to sell my Sansui because it doesn't fit (now that my wife hath forced me to purchase......a DVD/VCR combo!) v/r DC

I am confused as to what this is http://www.zaolla.com/zaolla_product_audio_interconnects1.html All comments aside regarding Zaolla PR; I'm concerned with the cable construction (not if it was designed with low noise in mind). What is this cable accoding to both the diagram (linked abive) and this comment from them: "Our analog audio cables have oxygen-free copper braided shields. These are terminated to ground and conduct no signal. Analog audio interconnects benefit from having some copper in the signal path, so the solid-silver center conductor is surrounded by 37AWG Ohno continuous-cast copper ancillary conductors. We believe that this produces the best balance between the sparkling highs of silver and the powerful mids of copper. Zaolla Silverline digital audio cables, video cables, and speaker cables contain only silver, no copper, in the signal chain." I was under the impression that the copper shield here carries the signal as well as the silver core. Granted I have a sub-rudimentary understanding of cable design/geometery. But I have haerd mention of gorunding only one end (uni-directional cable). Hre is one comment from another forum: "That is simply not true.If the braid is connected to the ground,then it does indeed carry the same signal as the positive conductor." v/r JC

Do you know the date codes for the ones you have tried and liked of this tube? thanks! Jonathan

Any tubes in this beast; worthy amps? http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/1704482 Jc

What pieces of old gear are liekly to contain 6DJ8, 6922, & 7308 tubes? v/r JC

Question: Which tubes are more sensitive to noise. Amp input tubes, mine are 12AX7s, or the line stage tubes in my Sunfire Preamp, 6922s. Phono needs real quiet tubes but I'm wondering about the aformentioned. thanks JC

How important is it to buy line stae tubes matched? The used ones I can get are tested but not matched (i think), whereas there are some others I found NIB for less. Siemens CCA for 110$ NIB (2). JC

Craig, I take it you want a shot of the innards? Open up the chassis and take a picture right? JC
