In Reply to: RE: Siemens e288cc in a Cary sli-80 posted by johntoste on June 25, 2020 at 11:21:02
I am just curious - why should you use the e288cc tubes if the manufacturer doesn't recommend them?
Follow Ups:
A trusted tube source recommended them. He's been selling them for 20 years.
Since the electrical values are slightly different and they have no personal experience with the particular tube, the manufacturer is reluctant to bless them, out of an abundance of caution.
If a 'trusted tube source' is Kevin Deal, he knows his tubes and knows
the Cary SLI-80 perfectly well.
This is what buying off-the-rack stuff buys you. If you built it, one you might not want to try something else. Or it would have run something else in the first place. You'd also know what 'something else' needs. Or you would be able to examine the circuit you built, and understand what the 'something else' offers.

Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world...but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.
There are only so many hours in the day and most of mine are occupied.
And now we get to hear how you wish to have yer cake and eat it too.
Have to say, it takes very little skill to design and build something that will kick off-the-rack stuff around the block. If you think this is wrong, you have been reading too much audio advertisements. Or perhaps indulging in selling yourself short.

that your smug condescension is world class.
I can't wait to see your self designed and built automobile and cell phone.
By the way, the correct phrase is "eat your cake and have it too," not the other way around, despite rampant improper usage.
'the correct phrase is "eat your cake and have it too,"'
no it's not

there's plenty more links to the correct idiom form
be well,
You have no idea what you are talking about. The age of one man accomplishments went out before RJ Mitchell's Spitfire. Kelly Johnson didn't do the Oxcart; he led the team that designed it. There are near exceptions; the Trieste comes to mind...:)
I am not doing cell phones or cars...tube circuits are much simpler.

AAhhhh Douglas, you are an acquired taste but none the less correct.
It sucks to get old. It really sucks to get old and bitter.
