Where are people finding these horns? I didn't think klipsch sold these loose.
-
You can find bad reviews on most. you just need to give them a try and see.
-
Yes, i read that on his page. Looks to have a large selection.

I bought a quad of KT77 GL from upscale and a quad of JJ from viva. I like the EH 6ca7 as well and may pick up a quad of those as well.

I agree and not to turn this post to politics, but we are where we are at by design not happenstance. What a shame we were in such a good place 2yrs ago.

Thanks, i forgot about him. I bought from him before. I checked his list and didn't find what i was looking for. I'll keep looking.

Whats going on with the prices and availability of the vacuum tubes now days. Haven't bought any tubes in a couple years. I'm now looking for a quad of KT77. I like the JJ's, But are hard to find from a good dealer. I did order a quad of KT77 GL from Kevin Deal, but still looking for other KT77 in a good price range. Where are you guys now buying your tubes? I was also looking for the psvane MKii gray glass, but can't find any in the states. Who do you guys by these from?

New Carver Black Magic 25 EL-34 Based Tube Amplifier $1995
mopardave replied to jjptkd's topic in Talkin' Tubes
Well, i'm really happy to hear the Carver 275 is a very good amp after all, I had my mind set on that amp for a while because i just could not afford the Ayon spirit V at $6000ish and really wanting the Triton at $10,000plus. So the Carver fits my budget much easier and i hope to be an upstep to my trusty old modified Audcom Chinese amp of 20yrs, which sounds fantastic and proven its reliability. -

Carver does have a very good return policy. -

Ok, so the Black Magic is superior to the 275, but the 275 really is a good amp after all? Glad to here that as i really like what i read in the good review of it and its a very nice looking amp as well. -

I'm a bit confused with the Carver275 being a good amp. I had it on my list of amps to purchase and after more research including a thread on here, i found 1 long positive review on it and a bunch or really bad reviews. A glued in meter, an output transformer no bigger than an autoformer and an output of about 20w/ch after testing. Rated at 75/ch, so i moved on to looking at the Ayon amps once again. so can someone clear this up as to the 275 being a good amp or a not so good amp? After reading this post it has me wanting a Carver again, just need to know the outstanding models to buy. I'll keep on eye on your post for awhile. Glad you got a good one. -
Yeah, looks like i will never be able to get a pair of Khorns and the Jubes will take a sizable lottery winning.
-
I agree. Those aren't worth $500.
-
Now that my system is in a much bigger room, i find 80-90 is good. 70-75 used to be the norm.
-
Those amps are simply a work of art. I would love to own one. I will be replacing my 20yr old Chinese EL34 amp with something new after Christmas. I have the Tool Shed, Ayon and Bob Carvers Crimson 275 on my list. The Crimson looks like a bargain compared to these other 2. The Ayon and 275 are rated at 75w/ch. The TS is 8w/ch i think. I'm driving a pair of CornScala's using B&C mid drivers. Can 8w's drive these to 90db levels with plenty of low and mid bass punch?

Just tried the tung sol JAN 12SL7GT. Dont like them. I have to twist the volume up quite a bit to hear music. JAN 12SL7 sound pretty good, these are a metal can style. I just need to find a real good pair.
-
Ok, Thanks. Will see what happens. When the MM cartridge is ready for replacement I will be stepping up to the MC.
-
I dont have the ART9xi. I have the MM Ortophon Black 250, which i think sounds very nice, but with be moving up to the AT ART9xi hoping for a bit more clearity or more life like should i say.
-
The gentleman tells me he ran a MC Denon 103 cartridge which has a similar voltage output as the ART9 with this phono pre amp and had no issues doing it.
-
Absolutely. It will be done real soon. I bought another stereo rack to match my current one. This way i can get the TT together with the rest of the audio equipment.
-
Tung-Sol JAN-12SL7GT VT-289 Black Glass Round Plate Tubes NOS. These any good?
-
Ok, i see what i can find in the SL tube. Any brand ok?
-
I understand. Mine is still a work in progress.
-
Thanks guys. I will be spending alot of time down there.

I agree, Higher end equipment is needed to compete with digital. The sound is a bit warmer with vinyl as well. I went thru quite a few albums this past weekend and the only one that sounded compressed was Rolling Stones sticky fingers. I think i will be with vinyl for a long time.
