I've been convalescing for the past week. 2 separate surgeries on the SAME arm. Plenty of down time to listen...and fuss around.
As a music lover and a gear nut in denial, I "get" the hobby aspect of audio. Wouldn't bother wasting time HERE if it wasn't the case.The more I listen, my adjusting period is starting to notice the positive traits of the old bottles. Bass notes are "rounder" the initially dry mids aren't as dry and highs aren't as distant/pushed back like before.
Haven't decided on vocals yet. Both sound amazing.Update:after replacing the KT77's and listening back to back against
the 6's, in my system,the 6's sound more natural!
This is based on a listenings thru the preferred method-mono record thru tubed phono. I played a very clean 61 Ella Fitzgerald CLHC and 60 LNMWME. WOW! System dependent as always, I use the humble AT OC9III on a VPI Classic. Nothing special, but it delivers the goods.TUBE HEADS: I have an odd ball among the 8. This tube is made by Sylvania and a worn sticker on the glass indicates it was a "select" lab
equipment tube or something to that effect. Also stated its an "experimental" tube. Its about 1/4" taller with stuff going on there.
Any info on this thing?
The rest are like the top pic
