I don't like the way KT88's break up in power tube distortion. 6550's are much more pleasing when you get a head into power tube distortion. Some amps rely on preamp distortion and KT88's work well in these amps but KT88's sound like shit when they break up. Not many play loud enough to get them...
You cannot get Jon Scaffer's tone without a LARRY Amp. PERIOD. You can get close, about 75%, close but that's it.
A Splawn will not get you there. I don't care what Jon said about Splawn. He was talking out his ass. He knows damn well you can't get there without a Larry.
A knock out punch does a much cleaner hole than a drill bit. Order a knockout punch on Amazon, punch your hole, and return the kit for refund on your Prime account LOL Yeah, that's what I did.
Harman Kardon Citation One here. I have rebuilt three of them; one with Jupiter copper and foil caps. Killer with all vintage tubes. I also own 4 Braun Lv-1020 Triamp speakers. I have replaced some transistors in my one pair. I have an amazing speaker guy near me who does work for the CEO of...
That does suck. He should honor it like I did. Sounds like a tool. Actually Ebay makes you wait now until it delivers. At least they did for me when I shipped overseas. Took three weeks to get paid.
Our ears get adjusted to the effect a boost has on our amps. When I used to boost, my amps didn't sound great without the boost. After a little time my ears adjusted without the boosts. Some amps need a boost but not a 5150. It's a matter of your preference but you should play your amp without a...
Me too but you might not know but their are cats that very much act like dogs. My one Bengal yells at me because he wants his belly rubbed. He will follow me around until I go to the day bed, or bedroom, where he will jump up and roll right over on his back for belly rubs making all kinds of...
Goes both ways. I knew three people who are now dead and were not vaccinated. Another Guy, not vaccinated I know just got out of the hospital after being there over two months with Covid. I know no one who was vaccinated that died or even had to go to the Hospital. I know many who had zero...
I cannot stand any of the PPIMV types. I installed them several times and tried a few different variations. They overdrive the PI tube so you do get more gain but it imparts a very specific type of tone I dislike. It also neuters your power tube saturation which is a bad thing. Most cannot tell...
