MAW valves and PVAK

Post by Tubaman22 »

So this is probably a really stupid question but I thought I would ask. I have heard great things about MAW valves and the PVAK system. Has anyone ever tried using them both? Is that even possible?? If so, how did it sound?

If I understand correctly, the PVAK kits are for proper alignment of the valves. This would be necessary regardless of the type of valve in question. The MAW valve "system" has to do with the design and construction of the valve. MAW valves must still be properly aligned.

I sold just about everything last year but, for six years I had a Thor. Used the PVAK for quit a while and the last year used both the PVAK and MAW on the horn.. All was good.
