Husker jeg sjekket litt når jeg hadde en slik, og ikke alle mente det var så mye å hente på andre rør.
Rollin', rollin', rollin'...
I spent a good bit of time comparing the VS.1 Mk.III's performance with its stock Chinese tubes and with NOS Siemens tubes, which Larry Staples had stressed would significantly improve its performance. There was indeed an improvement with the NOS tubes, though a much subtler one than I'd expected. The character of the VS.1's sound didn't change, but there was a little more openness and delicacy in the highs. I replayed the aforementioned recordings of female vocal and noticed that sibilants were delicate and more extended in frequency. I noticed a similar effect on percussion; Ginger Baker's "cymbows" (a Cockney percussion instrument), from his trio's Going Back Home (CD, Atlantic 82652-2), were more detailed, realistic, and less opaque. In short, tube rollers should notice an improvement with NOS Siemens tubes, but I don't feel it's necessary to replace the stock Chinese tubes in order to achieve the essential benefits of the VS.1 Mk.III.
