Hi,
I am a newbee on Bottlehead forum and I came across 2 pairs of Paramounts.
One with Soft Start Kit installed and another without the Soft Start Kit but with some upgrades (All Nickle Magnaquest transformers, Mundorf Silver/Oil caps, upgrated connectors.
Paramounts without the Soft Start Kit sounds more dynamic and silky, but with a little more pronounced upper midrange and treble. Since my speakers are already bright sounding, I would like to have the frequency balance of the Paramounts with the Soft Start Kit.
Can anyone guess what can be done to make them sound more relexed in the highs?
I was considering it may be due to the following:
12AT7 tubes (Telefunken, Mullard, EH, Amperex 7062) vs Soft Start Kit 5670 (GE 5 star),
or Mundorf Silver/Oil,
or Magnaquest Transformers.
I know I have to try to be sure, but if anyone can guess right it will save me money and time.
