    Is there any reason to change the ELNA RJB 3300uF caps to the Panasonic FR?

    Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***

    I just did a capacitor upgrade on my Aune T1 (MK1).   I bought the suggested ELNA Silmic II and Panasonic FR caps, but ended up not replacing the 3300uF. The original ones, labeled ELNA RJB, was in fact bigger than the replacement Panasonic and looked decent.   Some people has reported...

    AKG N75

    I stumbled upon this picture showing AKG N75 beside N90Q       It clearly shows an AKG fullsize over-ear headphone called N75 with a weird looking headband attachment, but I cannot find any info on it on any other site. Personally I hope it's a noise canceling over-ear headphone a good...

    Schiit Vali vs. Aune T1

    I have the T1 on my AKG K550 at work, and it sounds great!   The big hazard about the T1 is tube rolling. Most people will say it is an advantage but I say its a hazard. It can cost you a lot because it is addictive! just look at the T1...

    Five days have passed and no distortion. Connecting the Aune T1 directly to my computer solved the issue. Probably to much data through the USB hub after getting the new laser mouse was the issue.

    I have had my Aune T1 for a year now, and I have been very happy with it. In the beginning I got infected by the tube rolling disease, but luckily I recovered before I ended up buying ridiculously expensive Simens and Amperex tubes :) My main tube has been the Voskhod 6N23P "rocket" and it has...

    Reply to review by 'buestad' on item 'Klipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear Enhanced Bass Noise-Isolating Headphones'

    I have had these headphones for some time, and I don't feel that they are hard to fit in my ears. I use the standard tips and they work just fine. I was concerned about this before buying them because of some reviews, but it was no problem. I would say that they work the best if you sit still...

    Interesting post Salvatore!   I was almost hooked on tube rolling, but I was able to pull my self out of it :)   I realized that the differences between the tubes was so subtle that I really had to concentrate 100% to enjoy these differences. As my setup (T1 + K550) is at work...

    About the amp rolling I have been looking at the millet minimax. It's a hybrid (solid state & tubes) diy amp. Has anyone tested that combo?

    I also ordered and payed for the 6N1P tubes once, but I redecided before they were shipped, so I altered the order to 6N23P through PMs to the seller. The 6N1P are used in the Schiit Lyr by some, so it might not be that bad. The guy I talked to who had tried the 6N1P had a bad channel in the...

    According to Wikipedia 6N1P is a far relative to the 6DJ8. It has been tried in the T1 but not with any good results. The 6N32P from Voskhod (rocket logo) is a better alternative as first tube
