All tubes are sold. Thanks all, hope you love them.

All tubes except the 6ar6 and mullard gz34 are sold or pending sale.

There’s some chat about it around post #971 on the aegis DIY thread. Hope that helps!

Hey, all you new Aegis amp owners! Do you have a brand new amp that you love but want to take it to the next level? Well. You came to the right listing. You can do some internet research, and you can also take my word for it, these are some of the absolute best sounding yet still affordable...

Matched pair of USAF 596 Rectifier tubes with complimentary Woo Audio adapters. These were picked up as part of a purchase but are not needed. They have under 100 hours total on them and are essentially new with thousands of hours remaining. Please PM any questions or requests for additional...

Miflex are really big caps. I had a pair in a bottlehead s.e.x. amp and I couldn't really get anything sonically from them. They rate really high, but brought nothing for me. I'd love to give them another chance because the price of the smaller .uf is great, but I'd stick to the big three...

Positive feedback? More like SUPER positive! We did a trade with some cash, and everything was smooth, easy, and professional.

Speaking of choosing tubes, I've got quite a few tubes I was using off and on with the Bigger Ben, and wondered if anyone had experience with them in the Nautilus (or even if they'd work based on the power in the Nautilus). Some have adapters, like the 6ar6 tubes, or the 6889. The bendix 6889...

Matching stabilized wood pipe, with audiophile tobacco.

Let the amp and capacitors burn in for a bit first. My Aegis had a steady improvement for the first two weeks. If you throw in new tubes too quickly you may get a misguided impression of what the new tube is doing.

This is a legit idea! Another thought is matching stabilized headphones and salire stand. And cable. And everything else.

An easy transaction, where everything was as described. Buy with confidence from Colt!

An inexpensive and very solid iem is the truthears zero:red. I got one on eBay for $40 and it is a sub $250 winner for me.

I tell you, it’s getting a little tricky sometimes shopping for NOS tubes online. There’s a listing that looks like a gec kt66 labelled ARS, but digging in it turns out to be Chinese new production. It was too good to be true!

Had some relatives in town for the long weekend. They wanted to hit Seaworld while they were here. For some reason, even the seaworld bmx show is making me miss my new amplifier…

Lol, there should be at least 15 minutes of safety while the tubes are warming up.

Buy once, cry over tube rolling is how it goes, I believe.

@goldwerger Join me, Eyal!

Those iems are on my 'must try' list for canjam socal. I missed them last year and regret it.

Indeed, the Nautilus. It is very long, but not so deep. Basically just a little bigger in length than the aegis, but actually fits just as well on the shelf as the Aegis did. I really need to get a better audio rack/shelf; the one i'm using is a converted bookshelf, and is pretty terrible...

What a great time to have a holiday weekend? Moved some gear around in order to try some new things! This amp is just as good as I remember from canjam socal. Smooth and effortless. Testing out a Modhouse Tungsten Double Magnet and it's weekend fun! On the Atrium closed separation and...

That should be fine, but I always defer to LG. It's a bit more, but I'd also look at: https://partsconnexion.com/collections/duelund-capacitor-collection/products/duelund-0-22uf-630vdc-cast-pio-cu-ag-hybrid-copper-silver-foil-capacitor?_pos=4&_fid=2278feb94&_ss=c

Auteur and tubes is like peanut butter and jelly. They're made for each other.

Only the aegis could justify such blasphemy! :) GLWS!

I haven't been able to demo the E3, but have heard excellent things about it. In regards to the stealth and expanse, I was not a fan of the stealth. I found it completely lacking in engagement, which is unfortunately something that I've found in DCA tuning for quite a while. The expanse was...
