    Default My lovely new valves

    Two weeks ago i rolled the valves in my Icon Audio PS1 and they seem to be comming alive now. Bought a Mullard cv 4024 and two JJ ECC83s and they are a big improvement. Lots of detail and huge soundstage compared with any thing ive used. Dead chuffed. Thinking about their Jenson cap upgrade they offer though i should really spending the little cash ive put away on a RCM

    There's many here who go dewy eyed at the sight of a few new, or NOS, valves. They'll have to close their eyes and imagine for the timebeing!

    I've just bought about a dozen NOS Mullard, Phillips and Siemens valves from eBay as spares for my valve tuners and to try a little tube 'rolling'.

    Photos will be sent under 'plain brown cover'.

    I also have just bought some NOS Mullards for my pre and power amps plus some stunning dark glass NOS Ken Rad 6sn7's and RCA's. I will try to post these with my first ever embedded photos once they are fitted next week.

    Hi Nick

    I tried to post pictures of my current set up this morning except when I came to view the photobucket upload - it didn't - just a 4 line string. Is this right? It did not show what it would be like even in preview - so I abandoned it. Any advice? Cos I feel like an imposter here being unable to show even my modest system and my latest valve purchases.
