Cal Blacksmith Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I am fairly sure the wife has not planed anything for me on the 20th, so with a little luck, count me in. I could bring the VTL Ultamate pre if you would like me to, it has a nice phono section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeritageBob Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Guys, do me and yourselves a favor... I've been rolling different output tubes into the VRD's lately, namely some EL-34 variants and I have been loving the sound and results of different tubes. If you guys have some time and different tubes lying around that others can bring, I would love to hear some reviews on everyones opinions of different output tubes in the VRD's. I am sure a good bit of power tubes could be scrounged up for this party if many attend to do some A-B'ing and let us VRD owners know what is good out there to purchase.

HeritageBob Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Pirahna, I would love to know how your Sony 222ES modded sounds stacked up against your 333ES. I have a 333ES that took a major dump on me laser wise and in turn got a sweet deal on a 222ES that I currently use. Out of the two right now I would say I liked the 333ES better sound wise, but as I said it is inop at the moment. Do you think me spending the coin on a 222ES mod would bring it above the sound of my stock 333ES I had? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Tube rolling is not really advisable with limited time and confusion of a Audio meeting IMHO. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeritageBob Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Hmmm, maybe even a worse idea if beer gets involved.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Hey Edwin, Dee, yeah...I'm purely a solid state and reference guy so far, never before entered the world of heritage or tubes. So this should be a REAL eye opener, figuratively and literally. Pirahna, you're right. I own RF7's, 2 pairs in fact, along with RF5's, RF35's, RB5II's, RC-7, and RC-35. Good memory! Andy, if you guys are still in need of one, I could bring my CD player? It's a Classe CDP-10, and I use it with a PS Audio xStream powercable. I also use PS Audio XLR's with it, but I have Kimber Hero RCA's if that's better? Let me know if you want me to bring it, k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKubicki Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Nick, Go ahead and bring the CDP if you don't mind. Tom is mainly interested in hearing the amps through KHorns, I'm interested in the amps and the Sony CDPs, but if I can check yours out as well why not?

They are very similar in sound after the mods. Personally I think I'd try and pick up a used, or b stock 333ES. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piranha Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I was kidding and just saying that because of all the gear that seems to be coming. What time do you plan to end it? I only ask because after it's over I will need to take my gear back up to Pasadena, drop it off, pick up a suitcase, and then drive out to Vegas on Sunday night. I have business in Vegas at 8AM sharp on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piranha Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 With VRD's, that could happen pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Who else is bringing a CD player? Just wondering what sort of variety my Classe is going up against. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Well, I do beleave I will be at this shindig. Along with the VTL, I can bring my Sonic Frontiers Power 1. It would be interesting to see how it sounds compaired to other equipment on the Khorns. Please PM or email me directions. I will probably be there between 1 and 2 depending on what time we leave church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 All your heads are going to be spinning with all that gear being rolled in and out. Been there and done that. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Maybe everyone should bring one piece of gear, and one CD or LP. Kind of like a potluck. I'm sorry I'm so far away (CA is a big ol' state!), or I'd be showin' up with a piece myself (Fisher console )... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
