Very cool, thanks!

I got #4. What's the difference between the two? (5, duh)

Meanwhile, this just arrived from the Czech Republic. You guys have to stop posting about all these tubes, as I have no self control!

Yesterday I received the RCA Command 5670 tube and gave it a listen last night. After 2 hours, I got so lost in the music that I forgot I was supposed to be comparing tubes, haha. The RCA is great, but a slightly darker and smaller headstage than the GE 5 star. If I had to choose my favorite it...

It just arrived today and I'm letting it cook. I will give it a listen later tonight and report back.

RSL just released the Speedwoofer 10E and it's priced at $299. Quite a bargain for a brand that most people love.

Vali 3 all day long over the Piety. Currently using GE 5* tube and it sounds amazing! Bifrost 2 > Vali 3 > hd58x = bliss Edit- I'm not selling the piety. It's a great amp. I will find a use for it, or give it to one of my kids.

I completely agree with your assessment of the GE 5* and the uncanny headstage it provides. Quite often, I think someone is in the room with me, only to realise it's just background vocals behind my head. Please let me know if any of your other tubes are able to beat the 5*.

Thanks. I am awaiting your report of the tube variants before ordering. I currently have an RCA Command inbound, and am looking forward to comparing it to the GE 5*. The sound stage with the GE is so good that I'm not sure I want to take it out.

Where did you score that adapter?

Exactly. I had a Vali 2 a few years ago. I tried a few tubes and they all sounded pretty much the same.

I have not had time to compare directly to the Piety, and I'm not very good at describing comparisons between amps. I mostly posted my thoughts to let people know that the Vali 3 responds well to tube rolling. If I have a chance later this week, I will make some notes comparing the two. Only way...

I thought I would take a moment to share my experience with the Vali 3. On a whim, about 10 days ago, I drove 30 minutes north to the Shiitr and bought a Vali 3. I’ve been using Magini Piety, which I love, for over a year. So I don’t NEED a new amp, but, you know how it is. Chain is Bifrost 2...

Can confirm. I just bought a Vali 3 there yesterday!

This survey about mauals is great. I can now confidently guess everyone's age in this forum, haha. The younger people don't care about manuals because they know everything is available online forever. The middle age people still prefer a paper manual, but aren't scared to get online and find...

Like others have said, be prepared for traffic. Even on Sunday. Probably 3-4 hours each way. I would suggest spending some time at the greatest tourist attraction in all of L.A... The Shiitr! Seriously, you should plan on hanging there for an hour or two, and play around with all the equipment...

Soon enough, AI will be churning out phrases like "a veil has been lifted", "punches way above it's weight", and "I'm hearing things I haven't heard before", and it will seamlessly blend in with every audio review ever written. :joy:

Will it be less finicky? I loved my Aegir, but very dynamic tracks played at louder volumes would sometimes trigger protection mode. This is with efficient Klipsch and Tekton speakers. I tired of worrying about it and switched to Vidar 2, which I also love, and never shuts down.

Great transaction! iamjaymo was communicative and shipped promptly. The item was exactly as described. I would buy from again.

Sent pm.

Are McRibs considered Carolina or Texas BBQ? Asking for a friend.

This might be the best Pantera to own.
