Some of our earlier discussions with all of you guys helped to decide to keep the larger system as-is (sounds nice), not try to replace it, and give more time to the little Inspire stereo amp, as a separate system - no longer trying to ask it to replace the larger system, amps. With the extra gain of the SLP98 pre, and it has two pre-outs, all sources connected there, its now serving as a double-duty pre for both amps. Change of plans. Maybe a LP27A down the road after the holidays. If know if I did that I'd be tempted to acquire a 2nd Hot Rod and go back to the dual bi-amp idea. Holding off for now on all of that. May go back to messing with upgrading a different pair of smaller speakers to try again with little Hot Rod in Sept/Oct after summer is over. Winter project. ...

Just keep buying 27s and 56s. How can your descendants have enough? Image1533672460.479870.jpg |

I went to a radio swap meet last year where a guy was selling dozens of 27 and 56 tubes for $1 each.

27 has been around for almost 100 years. I'm not sure when production ceased. There are still plenty of them around. I don't find much sonic difference between different brands of ST27's. |

I have nothing which uses 27 or 56 tubes. But I picked up 4 each, for $8 total, just in case I ever do.

You heard it here first....
Fresh from the Toy Store...
Brand new LP-76 pre amp, using 76 tubes. 14 db or so gain... Untitled by Analog Addict, on Flickr Brand new improved Original Fire Bottle, featuring voltage regulation, new and improved output transformers and metal 6F6 tubes, although I believe it will play all the usual suspects. 3 WPC with the 6F6s and I was shocked how impressive those 3 watts were.... Untitled by Analog Addict, on Flickr Untitled by Analog Addict, on Flickr Nothing like the smell of the "burning" paint of NOS metal tubes! |
