Hey, did you ever think about getting a turntable?

tzh21y

Have you ever tried now tungsol 6550 in your amp?

tzh21y

I used to have it on the 4 ohm. It is currently on the 8 ohm. Maybe I will switch again to see. When I was using the 805's, I always had it on the 4 ohm tap

tzh21y

Lapierre, do you use the 8 ohm tap or the 4 ohm for your speakers?

tzh21y

I switched out the phillips 12at7s for the Siemens ecc801s. They are very quiet sound very nice. They need at least a couple of days break in

tzh21y

I do not have 2 mc275's so I did not know that. On mine, it made a huge difference over the stock tube

tzh21y

it was trial and error. The GE's sound better than the Phillips 12at7's with either the mullards 12ax7's or the Sylvanias. I also had used the teles and they did sound good, but I like the RCA's just a little better. The tele in the no 1 position made a huge diufference. If you can get a hold of 1 you might want to try it there. It works very well with the RCA's.

tzh21y

It just seemed like something was missing. I cannot explain it. When I added the 12at7's it was better, but not what I wanted. Right now I am pretty happy with the sound. Have you ever tried the teles?

tzh21y

I am currently using tele's. I have the mullard copies and did not like them very much. i may have to try the old mullards someday

tzh21y

I love the amp platform I would like to get it. Also, how do you like the Mullard's in the preamp?

tzh21y

Hi lapierre, I love your 275's I just bought my first one. It is fantastic. How do you like the Genelex Gold Lions conopared to the stock power tubes? Did you notice a big difference?
