In the Thread: A tube tuner? REL Precedent 646C
Post Subject: The damn tubes tuners.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/22/2008
I have no idea where this saga with REL leads me. Even though I do have substantial sonic improvement over the original REL version I still do not know if I like this tuner all together. The 50 years all tube tuner with 17 tubes is very freaky thing. I still have some tuner owned noise that I would like do not have. The damn thing sounds very deferent with the change of the few tubes (particularly oscillator and the last tube of limiter). The tube sockets all are garbage and twisting the tubes in their stockers do changes sound of the tuner to a degree. As now REL sounds more or less OK but kind of unstable. My SS tuner beat if with large degree. Perhaps the REL at this point need a recalibration and viewing by somebody who has more RF skills then I do? I am considering it. At this point REL is more pain in ass then results.
