Scott,
No thank you! (Master Thespian) I enjoyed the visit vicariously. I have a later LP-2. It has three 6MF7 and a rectifier. I added the DAC stepped attenuator. Love it. I couldn't bear the risk of upgrading it though. If I were up for the LP-3, I would buy it outright, keep one, sell one. You are a brave man! Dennis hasn't steered me wrong anywhere along the way though. |
Good stories. Between emails, the video recently posted, and the stories shared about Dennis, I feel like I trust his judgement. And frankly, that sense of mischief that true creators seem to harbor. I am pleased with and proud of his products, and I appreciate that they are tweakable, by swapping out tubes.

Interestingly we did talk about. Dennis even suggest maybe buying a new one and selling older one on ebay. At this point I look at my units as a matched set. This is why I decided to go the rout I did. Honestly, it hadn't crossed my mind that I could be making a mistake,... until now. No worries. I'll be in Chapel Hill on Monday and hopefully pick it up then. Dennis is planning to have it ready.. I'll post my impressions. |

I'm fortunate to be in a "content" stage, not looking at audiogon or ebay much and enjoying the music immensely. I'm sure the time will come again though! |
Bear,
What tubes does the stock LP-3 run? I have the LP-27a and it runs an 80, 6SN7, and pair of 56/27 tubes. If it is all octal, I would imagine a 5Y3, 6SN7 and maybe another pair of 6SN7's or 6SL7's. |

I don't recall the rectifier but you are on the right track with the 6sn7 & 6sl7 though I don't recall in which order either. Not much help I know. You can see it on the video link posted a short time back. |

The 6bx7 is not a rectifier. The 80 is. |

In my Inspire amp, a 6BX7, 6SN7 and 6SL7 are interchangeable as input tubes.
