Hi guys!
As a result, I traded "Inspire SET and LP-3a" on Leben CS600. Last edited by rusmeloman; 07-18-2018 at 01:09 PM. Reason: Photos need to be sized properly |

Anyone every tried using 6SL7 tubes in the LP-3a preamp, instead of 6SN7's?

Yes. I prefer the sn. But give it a try. Also try the 6bx7. |

Thanks for the advice. I actually use 6BX7 in the driver position, but would need to purchase a matched pair to use as the input tubes. I assume Dennis voiced the LP-3a with 6SN7 tubes, making it most neutral with these. I'm guessing using 6SL7 or 6BX7's will color the sound one way or another. It could be a good thing or no so good. Just figured I would ask here first. Thanks again.

message from Mr. Had just now - answering my question about which tubes will be supplied with the Monos, hmmm:
"I love the sound of the new Inspire Universal monos with the TungSol 6550’s. These are the tubes I will be shipping with these amps on an ongoing basis.Get ready for some serious sound in your listening room. The entire presentation is huge life size." .

Thx for the update. During the visit, by chance did anyone happen to mention if other tubes (like KT150s) were reviewed in the newer Universal Monos? Last edited by decooney; 07-22-2018 at 07:09 PM. |

Yeah, I've never heard KT150s in an Inspire amp either. I do have a pair of KT120s which I've run for many hours in my Inspire and I like them very much. Some people like the KT120s better, and they are now the standard power tube in many Conrad-Johnson and ARC amps.

Note: I’ve never had the luxury to hear 6550s in any of the Inspire amps.
Limited exposure other than KT150s in my Inspire Hot Rod Stereo amp.[/QUOTE] The Russian TS 6550's are a fine tube IMHO. They will need some hours to open up. |
