Wow! Great to hear you received your Elise! Congratz.
I also own a T1 and would be very interested in your impressions. Yes there is a euphonic type of warmth but I think the Elise is still a very neutral amplifier.
Enjoy listening!
T1 pair wonderfully with the Elise, I did some test with the Ethys ER4 PT-S and Elise drive correctly the 100 Ohms version but not the 27 Ohms.
After a complete string (guitar, mandolin, harpsichord, violin, bass and finally piano) listening session, i really enjoy the Elise. With the visseaux 6N7GT moving quickly from 6H13C to GE 6AS7GA opened the resolution like removing a veil. I enjoy a lot what i listen ! I even re-discover some piece specially when the recording is very close to the musician or live recording.
The warm sound is still present but dynamic and precision increased a lot in only 5 hours of listening...After strings yesterday, tonight i will switch to more complex listening with more instruments, choir, and wider spectrum with organ music. What really impress me is that I'm able to identify each instrument and recreate the scene like if it was 3D.
I'm using my SMSL M8
travelling DAC and the result is astonishing...
For now I enjoy a lot the music, i will play with tube later.... Thanks to Feliks family, Visseaux, GE and all the musicians
The recipe seems easy : wide spectrum with precise and dynamic response !
