Beautiful work!

Note: Can be pair either with their supplied cable or wirelessly. Happy New Year!

<<<SOLD>>> Hi, Selling a pair of KEF LSX powered monitors in excellent condition. These have AUX(analog), SPDIF(optical), Bluetooth, and Wi-fi connectivity plus a sub out. They are officially "Roon Tested" and show up automatically in Roon as an available endpoint. They are a true value for...

Must have interested someone. It is already sold!

Excellent buyer. Thanks a lot.

Selling a Bendix Eclipse Pioneer 12AU7/6189 triple mica tube. It is my favorite 12AU7. I had it in a Single Power amp briefly before I sold the amp. I bought it as NOS and only put a few hours on it. Eclipse Pioneer is Bendix's aviation division. It is a rare tube, as in not often seen. Asking...

Selling a NOS pair (2) of 12SN7 Tungsol black glass round plate tubes. These are the 12v heater version of the famous 6SN7 TSRP. I have owned these for a several years and but only put a couple of hours on them. I do not have the original specs but I always buy either NOS or used but test new...

I am using a Lampizator Baltic 3 with my LTA Ultralinear Integrated. Most owners of a B3 will tell you that those percentages do not represent reality. I would say that the manufacturer is making a mistake by even making that statement. They also say that there is no need to change out the...

Swap the tubes L to R. If the issue follows the tube then you know it is the tube, not the socket. You could have a cold solder joint in a tube socket connection. If the tube is not lighting up you might still have HV going to it which is bad for the tube so you might not want to spend too much...

Give Nicholas at LTA a call. He is great to work with and can give you very informed feedback on compatibility. He would never steer you to an amp that would not work well with your Audeze.

Not sure if anyone is contemplating a purchase from LTA but they are currently having a sale right now. 15% off with code FALL15 for everything on their web site. I have no affiliation with them but have owned a bunch of their equipment and still use their Ultralinear Integrated Plus in my...

I have a Modi Multibit and have always thought that it must be one of the best deals in audio. Very good sound for a fraction of what other well received DACs cost. To help give a reference for that statement I have also previously owned two Yggy's and now a Lampizator Baltic 3. I notice that...

Thanks. I have a Lampizator Baltic 3 DAC which uses 5v rectifiers. I have been using a Sophia Aqua 274B rectifier which was designed to handle a larger first capacitor than a normal 274B. So far it is the best rectifier that I have rolled. Currently I am trying a Brimar KB/FE 5Z4GY (CV1863)...

Glad to hear that. Perhaps recent circuits tend to have a slow turn on feature which avoids having the first capacitor pull too much current to charge it which then exceeds the specs of the rectifier?

"in which the reservoir capacitor should never exceed 16μF" I would imagine that this would limit it's use in many modern circuits in the same way as a 274A?

Thanks for that. I know that I feel a lot more like I do today than I did before!

I am a bit confused. Since the 7N7 and the 6F8G have a completely different structure I assume that you describing how they sound? I also have never seen or heard of a round plate 7N7. I have a pretty big stash of both 7N7s and 14N7s but never have run across one. I know that does not mean they...

Looks like the Mojo supplies are out of stock and "on hold" for a while. I would get LTA's LPS and spend money on rolling some NOS tubes :wink: Better yet, try to find their preamp on the used market. It is an advanced version of their MZ2 and also has a headphone output. LPS is built in...

+1. They do get in trade-ins.

You just described LTA equipment perfectly. I would describe it as the best of both worlds...

Wanted: I am looking for a pair of NOS, or test as new, E80CC tubes. These are near equivalents to a 12AU7. Preferred brands would be Tungsram, Philips SQ, or Siemens labeled Tungsram. Thanks.

I have a Bendix Eclipse-Pioneer 6189/12AU7 triple mica black plate tube. I bought it as NOS. I used it for a very short time in an amp that only needed one input tube. I now have a DAC and also an integrated amp that both use pairs of 12AU7s. This used to be my favorite 12AU7. For the past...

We are very short on good audiophile shops in the DC area these days. I ordered my Lampizator through the distributor who is in New Jersey. I am however very close to the Linear Tube Audio shop and they have a Baltic 3 to demo their great gear. They are the company that now makes a lot of the...

Good point. Some expensive tubes get consistently good marks by many and are also good sounding. Some are overrated due to hype. Some are overlooked and are cheap. I am currently rolling a bunch of 6SN7s and 12SN7s in my Lampizator Baltic 3 DAC. I own some of the fabled versions but so far I...

Interesting idea... My wife is a realtor. She always says that a house is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Since the best sounding NOS tubes are getting scarce, and new production tubes are mostly(not always) a pale reflection of NOS, then "what they are worth" will keep...
