    New preamp tube line-up for my LSS

    Your right about the compression and and head room being polar opposites- I guess I would most like to avoid hard clipping and harsh high end, the end result would allow me to play louder with the tone I am looking for. As for the rectifier tube, I am still using the one that replaced the...

    New preamp tube line-up for my LSS

    V1 Telefunken ECC83 V2 Phillips JAN 12AT7 V3 don't use- still has mesa tube. V4 Mesa tube- this position seems to run very hot-don't want to use a tube I care about (the Mesa sounds fine) V5 Telefunken ECC803S This set-up has given me much better clean head room and the gain that can be...

    rotating power tubes, anyone ?

    I just swapped my 2 outside tubes with each other after 3 weeks of use in my LSS, I plan on swapping my inside tube with my outside tube in 3 weeks- and so on. I guess I feel it is a good idea :D

    Ordering pairs or quads of el 84's

    I was wondering how critical it is to buy matched quads of el84's. I am running a LSS and will be switching between power modes based on the situation. Most of the time I will be in 15 or 5 watt mode. I will probably only use the 30watt mode for clean sound while giging or for louder practice...

    Found telefunken ECC 803S with gold pins in my stuff

    I double checked the tube and it is a 803, I am running it is a Lonestar Special which has a 12ax7 in V5. I wonder if the tube is on it's way out and its output has dropped so it does not act like a 12ax7 anymore.

    Found telefunken ECC 803S with gold pins in my stuff

    I did some experimenting with this tube, since it didn't do much for me in V1 I tried it in V2- not much better. Then I tried in in V5- holy cow :D - the amp came alive- much more detail and responsive without becoming harsh, I also suspect that I will gain some headroom. I will do the high...

    Found telefunken ECC 803S with gold pins in my stuff

    I tried it in my amp, it sounds sort of dead compared to the originals, not a good sign. I'll take it to my amp guy and see if he can test it, but I think it's time has passed.

    Found telefunken ECC 803S with gold pins in my stuff

    I did a search on Google and one tube seller was selling NOS version of this tube for $600 :shock: , could a used one fetch any decent cash. I am looking to tweak the tubes in my New LSS, I may do better with a handful of 12ax7's that are less expensive and part with this one tube.
