    3210 vs 3203; seeking opinions....

    I had the 1x12 combo artist and I'm sorry but I Hated that amp easily the worst amp I've owned.The OD channel was woofy bassy mud Evan with the tone dimed and the clean was ice pick city.I traded it to a music shop with some cash for an AVT 20 much better so are the old Lead 12s

    1983 50 watt JCM 800 or new silver Jubilee?

    IMO the Jubilee was the beginning of the new Marshall voice.The 800 will be the classic marshall type sound.Even the channel switcher 800s despite having diode clipping still have the older voice(but like with a tubescreamer built in).The Jubilee I had(2554 combo)had that gain fizz newer sound IMHO

    Current New Production Chinese 12AX7?

    Shuaguang makes the classic 12ax7 with the silver shields around the plates and they also make GTs 12ax7m mullard knock offs,seen um online with other logos and white boxed. Btw EH is not shuaguang it is a new sensor product

    Currently using the Mullard 12AX7 CV4004 as Phase Inverter, is this ok you think?

    Seriously go ebaying for a few old tubes.old tubes(nos) seem to always sound bigger and richer and most have better harmonics. Buy cheap used ones see what ya like then buy nos of what ya like.

    JJ E34l vs Shuaguang EL34B

    I think the JJs have a bit more low end that takes away some flow from lead lines

    JJ E34l vs Shuaguang EL34B

    So the JJs showed today I installed them and set the bias using the transformer shunt method.There seems to be a bit of a spread,I settled on 72 percent disp but the other side is reading 62 percent. I know some like a little spread but is 10% high for a "matched" set?

    JJ E34l vs Shuaguang EL34B

    Yea I like the shuaguang tone allot.very swirly and nice. Appearantly I won't get these till the 27th and I'm anxious to hear the JJs.i hope they aren't wooly mushy. Yea I thought about the kt77 was just worried about it being to far removed from traditional el34 tone

    JJ E34l vs Shuaguang EL34B

    What's your guys'es opinions on the JJ E34l both tone and reliabilitie?? I just bought a pair from amplified parts cause they burn um in. Now I've had shuaguang in my 2210 for years and thought(at least at the time) sounded better than the rfts they replaced. But that said shortly after had one...

    DSL50 owners - tube recommendations?

    Lots of stuff online saying the cp tung-sol 12ax7s die early in a cathode follower stage. IMO weather using nos or cp it's best to buy a couple 12ax7 and roll um. :laugh2:(not that kinda rolling)

    Best NOS dealers? I've had allots good stuff from terry Kilgore if he's still selling tubes.good results with kca nos also hear great things of hitest

    Problem with my Silver Jubilee 2554

    Try a jumper wire between send and return on the fx loop.Thats a known problem with the Jub loop getting dirty and causing issues. Can't hurt to try

    Nastiest sounding tubes for JCM2000 TSL602?

    +1 Rfts are very nice in a Marshall. GE longplates are nice too.

    JTM 60 tubes and diode questions

    Well so far I backed the bias down slightly and it stopped red plating. I played it a few and it didn't red plate again so I adjusted it by ear and now I'll check it with one of the above methods(prolly the orange wire seems easiest). Either way it needs tubes these Rubys are lookin tired and...

    JTM 60 tubes and diode questions

    Is there a way to check the bias on this thing with a multimeter? I opened it up and it is a friggin nightmare in there. Does it have a 1ohm resistor already and were should I test from,it's crazy trying to get to the sockets. I can't tell on the schematic but I'm guessing no resistor. And it...

    JTM 60 tubes and diode questions

    So we have a sick amp on our hands as I found last night.Well I got an old Bel 12ax7 so I decided to try it out. After tryin it in couple spots I stuck it in V1 and jammed for a while. The amp seemed noisy so I decided to try the old tube and I realized it was a tube socket contact issue. Now to...

    JTM 60 tubes and diode questions

    Thanks Murray,good info. I heard bout the overheating issues.My amp shows signs of heat on the back faceplate it's more brown near the power tubes than gold.evan the front is slightly darker gold on the one side. Also what KT77s are you using? I was thinking of trying gold lions.also tempted to...
