	Rockitman's System Between the Lamm and Allnic. Lamm seems to get the best characteristics of solid state (super low noise) with the romance of tubes. The Allnic is a bit warmer, richer in its presentation. The noise... posted over 6 years ago	View comment

	Rockitman's System It’s been a while since I updated my system. The American Sound AS-2000 turntable was added over the weekend. My vinyl spinner journey has finally ended. Puts my other TT’s to shame....not even clo... posted over 6 years ago	View comment
	Rockitman's System Lamm LP1 Signature Phono added to the phono stage stable. It makes a nice alternative sound to the Allnic H5000-DHT phono. As such I will keep both units active in my system. posted about 8 years ago	View comment
	Babybear's System Looking forward to your impressions on the WW2 era 5R4GY's Albert. Arnie shared his positive experiences with me the other day. I was reluctant to mention yet another rectifier for the Allnic. I me... posted over 8 years ago	View comment

	Babybear's System I like the current new format. I am sure the bubbling to the top bug can be worked out. I couldn't even update my system on the old format for the past 6 mos. It would prompt me to login then it wo... posted almost 9 years ago	View comment
	Albert Porter's System The best tube in my humble opinion after the WE422A are the RCA JRC CRC 5R4GY from WW2...No later than 1945. They have dark brown bases and most importantly have Double bottom getters. The same tub... posted almost 9 years ago	View comment

	Albert Porter's System Once I started using the tak 300b's for voltage regulation, the gain stage tubes became quieter and performed better. The stock tube was not so good and caused periodic white noise on the Marconi h... posted almost 9 years ago	View comment

	Rockitman's System Hi Albert. Best tube by far and no exaggeration. I could open a tube store for all the different rectifiers I own for the H5000. I bought mine on eBay. The date code is a 4 digit number. The first ... posted almost 9 years ago	View comment

	Rockitman's System System updated. Latest tweak is a pair of "Holy Grail" NOS Western Electric 422A rectifier tubes (Domino style gray plates) made in 1960 which are really a substitute for 5U4G's. They are 5 volt, 3... posted almost 9 years ago	View comment

	Albert Porter's System Hi Albert,I am at peace with the H5000. I may try another reference tube stage down the road....but in general I am very content. posted about 9 years ago	View comment
	Albert Porter's System I now prefer NOS RCA JAN spec 5U4G early 50's era and the recent addition of a pair of 1945 NOS RCA JAN CRC 5R4GY Brown Base. I like the Mullard GZ 37 3rd favorite and the blue print on the base Ph... posted about 9 years ago	View comment
