doctorcilantro Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Ciao I have a bunch of nice classical vinyl I'm sifting through right now, so PM if your interested. I'll be adding putting up pictures and listings on my web site this weekend.I'll also be adding more pics for the items below. Audio Metallurgy .5 meter cables WBT plugs (one has small scratches onit but overall like new-re-wiring my tonearm so I don't need these):More info:Audio Metallurgy GA-0 ic'sThese aren't very flexible so plan accordingly. 185 shipped (retail 325)----------------------------------------------------------------------Zaolla Silverline RCA cable - locking plugs, solid silver core withcopper hybrid. 37" tip to tip.

Brand new 6922 EH tubes test at 75. Ialso have some NOS Amperex USN-CEP that test at 77. I posted at Audio Asylum and received this response: " You can pretty much guarantee that if never restored the caps etc. onyour tester are dried out or drifted, the meter may be our of spec andif the Eico uses tubes, they could be old and worn out also. If your new tubes test at 70 I would use that as a baseline, which means the older 12AX7's are about 3/4's good. Don't forget small tubes last a long time, so well not new, theycould have a long life ahead of them. Always keep some of the olderspares around. They usually were made better and in applications likepreamps will probably sound better. "I feel confident that the tester is testing correctly, but hasdrifted because I have tested a matched trio of new 6922s and another6922 that was purchased with them but not matched (for use in a phonostages infrasonic filter). The trio sit at 75 and the extra 6922 is at71. EH 6922 (4) brand new from Jim McShane. Matched tube trio w/balanced sections.

" I do believe that was me and not some unwashed barbarian from Audio Ayslum.[] I see you are not following my advise to hold onto them and are selling them anyways. Shame.

doctorcilantro Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 LOL, sorry mate. I looked at that thread and didn't see your post so I assumed it was AA....I'll have to check on that. Maybe I posted two threads about the Eico. thanks for the heads up. don't worry I have some reserve tubes, and I really want to check out this DA-10. cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
