Post Subject: Tubes from the 20's & 30'sPosted by guy sergeant on: 2/2/2007
The 112's on my amplifier were made in 1926. I think they sound good but I actually chose them because I wanted low gain. Regardless of that there is a certain different pleasure to be gained from playing modern recordings using tubes made over 80 years ago. If anyone then thought about it at all, I suspected that they might have expected us to move on from that techology by now. I suppose I could switch to a TriPath or B & O Icepower based digital amp but I'm not sure its progress.
With regard to my earlier posts I was trying to describe sound. Making references to specific musical pieces isn't necessarily helpful to those people who don't have the same pressing, in the same condition, of the same piece of music, played back on the same turntable through the same phono stage etc. Its like me trying to describe the sound of my mother's voice to you. I could but you'd need to hear it to be able to recognise her.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
