B1 with Korg Triode

I use Takman Metalfilm 1/2 w. Better then the others. Been there tried them all.


I go with Vishay Dale for now (mostly RN55....learned that from 6L6) but where is your source for Takman? ….HiFiCollective?


When I read how Takman Rex and Vishay Dale RN55 are made they seems quite similar. I have not been able to find out which material RN55 use for the end caps. Takman Rex use brass. Both use copper lead outs and Chrome/Nickle alloys for the element.


Some components seems to have lead outs with some iron in.....else they wont be magnetic I guess…..I suspect it could be some of the small diodes. The lead outs are thin but feels a bit hard to cut.
 
Hificollective or Partconnexion. I think Dale is a little hard sounding in compare.

Try with a strong magnet. Prp is also unmagnetic but is the worst sounding off them I think. This is from hearing when I was a bit younger. Now I do not think I would be able to hear the difference anymore. Or maybe because I do not try
