I wonder why I didn;t steal his Telefunkens also heh !! Craig ---------------- Even so, some fool on ebay would have paid $50 ea for them! ---------------- Ain't that the truth but in a position like mine the people were talking about here would advertise them as tested and gauranteed by NOS Valves even though there worn out worthless junk. Kind of like the tubes in the 233 that is being touted as mint with no disclosure that it needs output tubes before it can be trusted for everyday use. Its all about who your dealing with.

fini Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 ClippEd, Good thing you're not into fishing, too. You'd run short of cash in a hurry! Then you'd have to make some tough decisions next time I called with a tip on antenna poles and buckets of worms at Recycletown. I just hope no kittens get killed...

Deang Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 It's nice to have a computer again. I've missed annoying everyone. Craig's lying. He sent me those Amperex EL-34s. They're sweet. I'm using them as cable holders to keep my cable off of the carpet. Craig does have this wierd habit of yanking the bad tubes, and leaving the good ones in.

Attributes particularly suited to the design would be interesting, too. (ie. the first phono tube would benefit from super-low-noise tubes above any other... that sort of thing) Thanks in advance, Ben ---------------- Ben, Did anyone ever give you any 12AX7 recommendations? Let me say that you want ALL your 12AX7s to be super low noise. My preferences, based on my experience; NOS Amperex BB 7025 Made in Holland or Made in GT Britain NOS Brimar CV 4004 Box plates(military version)Made in Gt Britain NOS Amperex BB ECC83(long plates,17 mm, are almost extinct)Made in Holland NOS Brimar ECC83 (non military version)Made in England NOS Mullard CV4004 long plates Made in Gt Gritain NOS Mullard ECC83 normal,14mm, plates Made in Gt Britain NOS 60's Tungsol 12AX7 Made in USA There are also many 12AX7 equivs. including 5751(US mil ver) These are listed pretty much in my order of preference. I know they can be costly, but reward with great tonal qualities and generally longer life. If needed, email me for possible sources. Klipsch out.

Guy Landau Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I'll add the Tungsram 12AX7/ecc83 to that list (especially for the phono section), and make a small correction that the box plate CV4004 is supposed to be a Mullard (usually very quiet, but tend to be microphonic in the first stage of the phono section) and the long plate a Brimar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I have seen CV4004 branded both Mullard and Brimar. Did both fims make these for the Brit Military? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 like most things, good NOS 12AX7 can run up to $100 each OR MORE, before spending on those at least give try to the EH 12AX7s, for between $15 and $35 each (depending on if you want the gold pins version) you can see if they float your boat before investing big bucks on NOS...also, if you do decide to spend big money on NOS, use them only in the positions that benefit most from it, i.e. phono section. regards, tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that would help relieve all that anger and tension that you have built up over the years doing absolutely nothing? It has become increasingly apparent to me that you have very low self esteem and also that you lack self confidence. I see that you try and boost it by regularly lashing out at people for no reason whatsoever here on the forum. What meaningfull purpose does that serve? Please get the medical help you so desperately need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edster00 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I'm not taking any sides here, but to me it seem a tad premature for a person who has been here for 30 days to pass judgment on someone who has been here over 3 years. That is assuming, of course, that the newbie hasn't changed user names and has an understanding of the vitriol that has been spewed on the BB in the past. Hopefully we can all rise above that and be civil toward one another. Of course, as always, this is MHO and YMMV and all that jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newbie that has not formed any relationships or predetermined aggenda's is the exact person I would respect about these matters. They have the keen ability to look at it from a few paces back and without prejudice. Plus there is a pretty extensive archive that can be read if they see fit for history sake.
