The supply of quality old production 6SN7's is pretty small. I have been using the Shuguang, Full Music and Psvane tubes and they simply sound better than old production tubes. If the new production Tung Sol's are working for you epay has become a real tube crap shoot. |

Updates - TJ Full Music: Re-Confirmed. Owner passed away as we heard. As a result, apparently a decision was made by those leading now that 6SN7, 12AU7, some of the other small tubes would no longer being produced. Gotta reply from the factory yesterday. And, a reply from their former largest distributor GD-Parts, today. Checked with factory, and top two distributors in case I needed to buy more leftover supply. The distributor mentioned some of the former TJ Full Music mfg equipment was going to PSVANE, as we heard before, so apparently that's going on. Very little TJFM 12Axx and 6SN7s left, drying up but some of the larger tubes "may still be prouduced", UNCONFIRMED. Former website link still up and old story about owner fwiw: http://www.tube-fullmusic.com/company/e-company.htm Shuguang, Fire last August 2019?: Fire at Shuguang factory reported over on SteveHoffman site on Dec 22. It notes the factory may not be permitted to rebuild or produce tubes in the same location next 18 months. Possibly another building and different location required. A prior TJFM distributor mentioned to me via an eBay message reply that Shuguang may not be producing tubes "for up to 2 years". More over on SteveHoffman site and QRZ site here: https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?thr...t-down.685231/ This kinda leaves NOS for both vintage and leftover TJFM 6sn7s, and of course PSVANE for Chinese 6SN7 and some of the smaller 12AXX tubes. And, the Russian 6SN7s of course. Kinda puts PSVANE in an interesting position IF all of this is in fact the actual situation. Maybe this will force some new options to pop up in a few years in any case. ... Last edited by decooney; 01-19-2020 at 01:44 PM. |

I don't know who makes the Sophia Blue tubes but it can't be TJ. The previous Sophia tubes were made by TJ.

Does anyone know the difference between the LP 3.1 and the LP 3.1a? I own the LP 3.1 and was wondering what upgrades where made to the 3.1a. Thanks

I like it very much. I also own the LP27 which to me has a similar sonic signature. Maybe a tad bit warmer. The 3.1 is a very articulate amp and I enjoy the detail and image clarity. Prior to owning these two preamps. My best sounding preamp was a rebuilt MX-110z, no slouch in the imaging department.
