Indeed. Thanks.

Hi guys,

The Mullard 6080 have stayed on my system since I got them and they've given me long hours of enjoyment primarily with jazz and secondly with classical. They seem to be less resolving—or rather setting the minor details in the back, as I have found with some tracks in Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique, which I already knew how they sounded through my surgical Etymotic Hf2—, but wonderfully warmish in the mids.

However, I suddenly I got an itch to get me a pair of Sylvania 6sn7wgt from Langrex. Do you guys have any experience with them? If I recall correctly @pctazhp has mentioned having a pair. Honestly it's a gut feeling, partly because I feel like exploring the NOS driver variety sound signature for the Elise instead of the Psvane. Also, should I build my knowledge base gradually by getting me some entry-level $ GTBs and then move on to the more expensive variants, or should I just churn out the big $ right away?

I know it's a big debate, but I'm open to suggestions!

Hi Angpsi

Back in March (a month that later on should be known as the "Dark Age Of Waiting For The EL-Adapters") I was pretty interested in getting me a pair of Sylvania 6SN7 also. Before actually taking initiative and buying them, my adapters finally arrived via carrier pigeon and my plans regarding Sylvanias petered out.
But I did not forget about them Next to the GEC 6080 UT suggested (well and next to some GEC 6AS7G and Tungsol 5998 - if I happen to stumble upon them somewhere and not having to sell my cat to buy them) they are as of now the only tubes I´m interested in adding to my Elise-line-up.


I got a few good responses back then concerning the difference between the brown base and black base, if you (or others) are interested...

I followed this trail and I came across the legendary lyrics to the song...

'Hello Lobster, my old friend. I've come to talk to you again...'

Ok.. Lobster and @angpsi you need to be fast on this. There's only 2 left of these gold nuggets and they are NOS.

It's useful to get Sylvania 6sn7gtb chrome top and Sylvania 6sn7wgt as well. While you're at it, don't forget the Tung Sol 6sn7gtb black bakelite base 1960s tubes as well. They are not expensive but sound very good.

Elise is indeed a marvellous tube amp. I've always said that it will hold it's place in a setup comprising HD800, T1 and now as you eluded to, the Audeze LC3f. Add in a nice DAC and you have a headfi system you can trully enjoy and be proud of.

Lobster, see what I told you then. That was March 23rd 2017 and now you did have a nice DAC and it's all set and just listening to music now.

apsi, I don't like debates but I have a suggestion for you. Buy Yggy and HD800 and enjoy your classical in the comfort of your home with Elise. Or even Gumby.

I didn't get my pair from Langrex, but I really like my Sylvania 6SN7-wtg. Probably about the same as my more expensive Sylvania 6SN7Ws. Personally I recommend getting a pair of either Sylvania and a pair of GEC6080s and be done with it. But, then again, I'm just a poor conductor. If anyone requests I re-tell that joke for the umpteenth time I will, but you will probably be put on some kind of a watch list.

And please understand that @UntilThen's answer to every problem in the world is to buy a Yiggy. I think he supplies Schiit with Magic Yiggy Dust from a mine he owns in the Outback.

It's the best thing that happen to me since I join head-fi. Elise made me chalk up 5000 posts. Yggy will take me to the 20000 mark.... then they will boot me out.

This is now good speakers sound in my head and Yggy is only 8 days 7 hours 34 minutes and 12 seconds since powering up.

There was a story this past week about a lady in San Diego who wanted to marry a train station. It is sure fortunate you are already married!!!

Yes. Just churn it out and buy Yggy.

People have been accused of witchcraft for less, you do realize that?! So please show us (=my wallet and me) some mercy and be careful with your prophecies

Changing the subject (kind of)... I actually just finished reading this last month:



A great, amusing and entirely recommendable book and on top of that you get to read about Yggy in each chapter What more could your heart desire?

UT, I had them noticed even before you mentioned them but they were instantly taken once you did! Someone's lurking in your posts and preying on our loot! Gotta be quicker than that, I guess..,

What about vt-231?
