Hello,
could someone help me with some doubts regarding tube rolling?
I have a Cayin A-88T mk2, amp section has 4xKT88 Gold Lions, preamp section has 2x6SN7 Tungsol and 2x6SL7 Tungsol.
The source is a Mytek DSD 192 DAC, speakers are Monitor Audio Silver 6.
I listen to blues, jazz, vocal music, pop, electro... And would like to improve the sound of my amp, and its power since at low level, I find the sound to be a bit blurry, loosing many details, and bottom and high ends are quite weak.
Regarding the amp section, I would like to gain power, clarity and strength in the mids, the most important to me. And I hate agressive highs. For a reasonable budget, what could be a alternative to the Genalex?
Do you think my Cayin can work with KT120 or even KT150? If positive, I don't know how to adjust the bias...
I'm looking for 3 options: to find a better KT88, find a great EL34 (the best possible) and KT120/150.
Regading the preamp section, the Tungsol are ok, Tested a couple of other NOS tubes also (Sylvania JAN-CHS-6SL7GT and RCA-6SN7GTB).
What would be your advices to reach my goal of having more details and creamy middles, lows present and controlled, highs not agressive or shining too much.
Thank you!
Christophe
