Title: anyone using Sophia mesh 274B rectifier in a CSP? Post by gnat leader on 08/04/06 at 17:02:33 I picked a Sophia mesh-plate 274b with low hours (supposedly) on Audiogon. I haven't recieved it yet, but I'm gonna try it out in my CSP preamp to see how it differs (if at all) from the non-mesh TJ 274B i'm currently running in it. Also, have a TJ 274B in my TABOO and have been using them happily for years. anyone using the Sophia mesh 274B in a CSP? comments? via CSP doc... Quote:

Title: Re: anyone using Sophia mesh 274B rectifier in a C Post by gnat leader on 08/08/06 at 17:50:39 Well, on first listen the the Sophia meshy (in my CSP) is only subtly different sounding than the TJ solid-plate. I think just a hair smoother. The TJ's sound a little brighter in the upper treble. Will know better with more listening and breakin.... I bought the Sophia used off Audiogon but the tube doesn't look like it's been used at all. The seller said it has low hours - which is obviously true. So this tube may still need to be broken in. |
