Rip Van Woof needs catching up . . . (Read 5021 times)

woof Ex Member	Rip Van Woof needs catching up . . . 08/31/09 at 17:13:45 My gray chassis Select has been in the closet the past few years since I switched to a speaker that was just 86db! So, I have a question or two: What about the "new" SV83's from New Sensor? Are these a new run and have the same spec as the NOS? Is there any new mod for a gray chassis that improves the sound? Thanks.

A mod for the Select would be the CCE mod, which in your amp will only work with the SV83/6n15n tubes, it will have no effect if you use the EL84 tubes. ZYGI

You could still use EL84's with no downside if you liked. It's just that SV83's would freakin beat the pants off the EL84's, if the CCE mod was in place.

The Select sounds FAR more powerful with the CCE mod, but the laws of physics would still likely come into play with 86db efficient speakers (agreeing with Lon).

By all means try the 6n15n's (military SV83's). Very little investment and much to gain over the lightly built Svetlana branded equivalent.

When I get a different set of speakers I will probably shoot my gray chassis CS on up. Question: Is it okay to send my amp in without tubes? It's nearly impossible to get the 5U4 in the foam.
