This listing looks very old. Are these tubes still available?

I upgraded to the DAC3 modules on my Pavane earlier this year. They were in business then. As an aside, I read a lot of comments about the Pavane being laid back. Interestingly, I think that's what I like about it. After owning the Schiit Yggy, I realized what it did very well was not my...

I have both and Atrium is getting all the attention right now. I agree with almost all above comments but in general, when I compare the VO and Atrium - the VO sounds very refined, the Atrium sounds more natural. I love them both.

Glad to hear someone weigh in on the BE2 pads. BE2s are my favorite on the VO's but got the feeling the stock Universe pads were the best on Atrium. I will have to swap even if it means changing pads on two sets of phones. And, though I'm better at it now, it still can be a bit challenging for...

Looking through another post I see that KR makes /made two versions of 2A3. The KR2A3 and KR2A3HP (for high power and sold only in US). I wonder if the HP is the model out of spec. I will check back to see what genefruit finds out.

Good to know about the KR2A3s. I have used them plenty with no problems but probably shouldn't push my luck with this new knowledge.

Comparing EML mesh 2A3 to Acme 2A3. - to my ears Acme is airier but thinner (not necessarily brighter). EML seems more natural, more body. Pairing Acme with EML 5U4G seems a good balance. And pairing EML 2A3 mesh with U52 maintains EML body but adds some airiness (my preference). I have had a...

So, to end this, I got an email from Jac this morning saying he was sending me a replacement tube and gave me me the tracking number. I still don't know where he planned on sending it. He admitted the internal parts are different from the tube that went bad so, clearly, not a match to my...

The email from Anthony was very clear that Jac would be sending the tube to me. When I responded to Anthony that Jac doesn't have my address Anthony never corrected to say the tube was coming to RAM then to me.

Update on experience with EML tube warranty - Today I received an email from Anthony at Music Reference/RAM Tubeworks where I purchased the tubes. Anthony went above and beyond trying to help me, though there was little he could do. He is a first class guy and would recommend to anyone. But, I...

Well, I've been waiting since September of last year without any communication whatsoever (not that I haven't tried). So, I wonder what "a long time" is to Jac. Maybe he plans on waiting out the warranty period and then claiming its out of warranty. I've never felt so angry and screwed by a...

I've given up. I've had no response for 4 months with regular email inquiries. For those who want to buy an EML tube - good news: they are great sounding tubes and I've never had a problem until now; bad news: there is no actual warranty if you encounter a bad tube.

I agree with claud W but be careful of EML tubes. They are expensive and if you get a bad one their warranty is worthless. I know.

At least I know someone else has had a bad experience. I just hope enough people read this that they aren't fooled by the warranty they offer. Their warranty appears to be useless.

I have had a similar situation with EML and Jac. Dealer I purchased from pushed me to Jac who agreed to replace a bad tube (300b 2.5) and then has shined me on ever since. Good sounding tubes and not likely to go bad (I have 2A3 mesh and 5U4G mesh with no problems). But, if you get a bad tube -...

Interesting to read of others experience dealing with JAC for EML tubes. I have had no luck at all get him to honor warranty on a tube. I bought pair of 300B 2.5 and after short while one tube started low level sputtering. Sometimes immediately on start up, other times after an hour or more...

I had LCD3 for about 4 years before getting VO. At first I was surprised at how similar they sounded. When I went back to the LCD3 after listening to the VOs for awhile the LCD3s sounded a little unnatural in comparison. I should mention, I really enjoyed the LCD3s for many years as my only...

Has anyone had any luck contacting the EML directly without having to deal with JAC Music? I ask because I was told I needed to go through him for a warranty issue and have found no other means of contacting them. After brief contact with Jac in September (2020) I was told a replacement tube...

I never made the connection that a "weird impulse sound" might be what I call sputtering. If that is the sound, then like others I have experienced it. I am waiting for a replacement EML 300B 2.5 that has that problem. And, I had a lot of problems with Psvane tubes having that issue. But here's...

I know there are many (including me) who have used the EML 2A3 meshplates in the Stratus without problems. I have had the same pair for a number of years and used on and off without any problems. One of my favorite tubes. That's a real head scratcher if other 2A3 tubes work fine but two...

I received a response from Jac asking for more details about the problem and the serial no. of the tube. I provided that this past weekend and waiting to hear back.

I have been using the EML 300B 2.5 for about a year now, on and off in my Stratus. I envy you Stellaris owners. I find it to be a very musical tube. It's very rich sounding and, imo, a more refined sound than the Sophia 300B 2.5. I'm listening through ZFM Verite and very enjoyable - in the...

I finally purchased a pair of these from Grant. I don't have many hours - maybe less than 50 at this point but I am hoping they will gain a little more body. Paired with a KR 5U4G and one of your 6N1Ps the clarity is astonishing. So much so that I hear artifacts in recordings that I'm not sure...

I am interested in swapping out fuses on Metrum Pavane. Does anyone know how to take the cover off to access?

This is not a reply to anything in particular but rather to share something I have experienced with tubes in my Stratus. I went through a number of Pvane WR2A3s with most making weird squeaking, ticking etc noises. I found a pair that was quiet after returning at least 5 tubes. Eventually those...
