Sorry I just pop into the other thread to give Mr Tunkejazz some advice. He wanted to deplete the GEC 6as7g even further. Can you imagine that?

Now where were we?

Please..... I spend $15000 doing that stupid deck and you ask me to leave it unpainted? With $15000, I could have gotten Chord Dave and then I would be able to give my Yggy to Pct and make him the happiest boy in Scottsdale.

I'm sure by the time of your next weekly paycheck you'll have another $15,000. I proudly accept all forms of charity. Remember we are brothers in arms - all hail Yggdrasil !!!

UT is always exaggerating lol - AUD15.000 is only USD11.351.........Why not spray paint the deck? Easier than painting by hand - you can buy or rent a paint sprayer.

So far the only 6SN7 tubes I do not like so much are the OEM TS Russian reissue. They sound too syrupy and slow. ATM breaking the rules with a pair of 6SN7GTB Sylvania Chrome Top from 1955 and a RCA VT-231 smoked glass from whenever (possibly 40's) and a pair of non recommended EL12N as powers. Personally, IMHO, the EL12N is a worthy substitute for the fabled GEC 6AS7G.

Who manufactured these British 6SN7 tubes? Mullard?

Sorry if this question was discussed, but as Feliks Audio Espressivo owner, I would gladly like to know if Elise is more suitable for planar headphones? Specific Audeze LCD-2.
Thanks!

Mullard never made the type. Those are Brimars.

Definitely. @HPLobster has been using Elise with his LCD3 and he's raving about it... he's even raving about it to his patients. Poor patients.

Oh how rude of me. Hello Aurimas and welcome to Elise thread. We're a happy bunch.... as you can see.. this amp has some effects

Excuse me Mordy. There's the easy way and there's artistic hard way. I'm thinking of doing to the deck what I do to my lawn.

This is the seller I bought my NOS NIB GEC 6080 from. He's also the one I bought my first pair of Mullard ECC31 but I complain that it didn't look so NOS and he return my money with no questions asked.

So I can recommend this seller. He's fair dinkum.

The goose looks in the mirror and say, 'Hey I look like the swan'.

I have to admit that the bass and punch in the EL12N and likewise in the EL tubes is very engaging. I really think that they will sound astounding in a custom made tube amp for it....

Similarly the 300B tube is not to be sneered at. I would really love to hear a 300B tube amp one day.....

But my point is - you don't cramp all these tubes in Elise..... that's Lukasz point too. He told me, 'UT, I have no clue why these guys says that the EL tubes sound better than 6sn7 in Elise. At least technically they shouldn't...'. I didn't argue with him after that. How do you argue with the manufacturer? The manufacturer knows everything about his amp. Do you?

@pctazhp I think I was born to be a lawyer. Do you think so? Do you think I'll win any case in court with these 'sound' arguments? Please.... I want some honest opinion.

Btw I am really liking my avatar. He's a picture of a serious listener. Look at the concentration.

Alright alright let's not over sell the Yggdrasil yet. We have not negotiated the promotion fee with Schiit. The figure I have in mind is $150,000.

Of which I'll pay you $2299, just enough to buy your Yggdrasil. How's that?

That leaves me $147,701. Enough to buy a boat and sail in Greece with Angelo.

Silence ! Did I kill the thread?

Always wear humour on your face in Head-Fi. Opinions will differ. Have a good day.

Haha we can't all be as active as you, UT.

Thanks for recommending the Fotons and Ken-Rads to me for bass, but what would be your tube of choice for magnificent mids? I want to be able to hear all the nuances in Norah Jones' voice.
