I just ordered a C2600 from my local dealer to mate with my MC452 driving Harbeth
M40.1 speakers. Once I get it burned in, I plan to do some tube rolling. I have about 25 years of experience with tube preamps including a CJ PV11, Audible Illusions M3 and M3A, CAT SL1 Ultimate, Ray Samuels A10 and a Van Alstine FET Valve CF. What I'm unclear on is the tube allocation in the C2600. I read an on-line review that stated that two 12AX7 are in the MM stage, and two 12AX7 are used in the MC stage, and that leaves one 12AX7 and one 12AT7 used in the line stage. Is this correct? I've also read good things about the re-issued Gold Lion tubes for the line stage. Are the Gold Lion tubes also very good in the MM and MC phono stages. I play vinyl through my fully upgraded Linn LP12 with Radikal power supply, Keel sub-chassis, Ekos SE arm and low output (about .25mv/V) Akiva MC cartridge. The phono stage performance of the 2600 is very important to me. I would appreciate some insight on using the reissued Gold Lions tubes vs other NOS tubes in the phono stage of the 2600. BTW, this is my first post on AA. Thanks in advance. |
