A few years ago I approached Sf direct twice - for spare floor protectors and then a replacement spike. On both occasions they mailed them to me in Australia saying payment wasn’t...

Joe, I sometimes switch in my Viva Solistino to run my Sf Stradivaris (in place of LAMM ML2.2s or Unison Research Reference). The Solistino snaps at their heels and in my 7m x 5m x 4m room has no...

So am I but they do tend to stress the bank though, particularly when you need two matched quads of them.

LAMM ML 3 Signature..............

After only three hours with the Sinos in the Viva this evening - there is no doubt you are correct, they are significantly better than the Solistino's stock tubes. I began listening after about half...

Mike, for your interest a matched pair of the Sino 845s arrived from Tube Depot today and they are (pleasingly) a match for those pictured in your post #26 above. Interestingly, other than the finish...

And Mike, where can they be sourced...............

Confirm the "TAD" stock 845 in the Solistino is indeed a Shuguang - which version? Who knows.........

Sorry - Tube Amp Doctor in Germany.

Thanks for the info.Mike - I think I will get a pair from Tube Depot then.............their pricing seems quite modest compared to most 845s generally available. I like the stock 845s which have...

OK thanks...........

Mike,
Just noticed your "made by Sino I believe" below the pic - sorry. The picture on the Tube Depot site appears different to yours.............gold base?

Mike and Joe,
Thanks for swift responses, I don't recognise the 845 pictured. I doesn't appear to be a Sino.........can you please let me know and also perhaps where they are available.

Many...

Hi Mike,

I recently purchased a Solistino for use in a second system with DeVore Orangutan 0/96s.............so far a terrific match. Just under 100 hours on the amp. Had not come across the...

Well the Elrog ER300Bs do better the EATs by quite a significant margin in my Cary 300SE Signatures - didn't really anticipate the stunning sound quality. Did have one Elrog become unacceptably noisy...

Without reservation, I agree with Kt77's reply - it does run warm but is a superb unit, massively ignored/underrated primarily because of what it is - "just an integrated". Make no mistake, with well...

Hi Mike, the EATs are my favourites at present.............they just appear to be perfect for the Carys, they seemingly give the amps more dynamic drive creating a more powerful or "bigger" feel to...

For anyone interested in my experiences with 300Bs.........in my Cary 300SE Signatures (love these amps) I have used Cary stock valve (Shuguangs??) and moved through JJs,Triode Corpn. stock 300Bs...

Thanks for the welcome Joe and Mike............pleased to see that someone else is also holding onto a pair of Cary 300 SE Signatures!!

Stradivaris driven by Lamm ML2.2s monos/L2 Reference/ LL2 Deluxe preamps and sometimes by Unison Research Reference monos (845)/ Reference preamp (300B).
