    Feliks Audio Echo (new budget OTL amp)

    Same I really like the amp but it did take a while to get it setup nicely. Better tubes helped. What DAC are you using and have you modded your HD800 to remove the 6k issue (if not maybe try a little EQ to remove that bump)? I had a Sabre and had to change the filter as well as the tubes to...

    Matrix Audio X-Sabre Pro

    Looking at the Matrix Sabre Pro MQA and probably top of my list but wondering other peoples thoughts and how people think it compares to a few other DAC. Matrix X Hear as a DAC the Sabre is better but not by much and the amp in the X is average. Mytek Boston DAC+ Heard it and it is a good...

    Feliks-Audio EUFORIA - A Wolf in "Sheep's" Clothing...

    I cannot try one at a dealer as live in Australia and no dealer here at all, would have flown to Singapore to try one but alas Rona. I like the look of the Elise better for me from reviews and it's half the price of the Euforia AE.

    Feliks-Audio EUFORIA - A Wolf in "Sheep's" Clothing...

    Why the AE edition, that one is twice the price of a Elise? Is the normal Euforia not worth it?

    Feliks-Audio EUFORIA - A Wolf in "Sheep's" Clothing...

    Yeah I know most don't seem to use the cross talk feature. I have some Siemens 6922 A4 tubes for my Echo which improved it immensely. So is it better to get the Elise and upgrade the tubes or is the Euforia fundamentally better then the Elise due to improved internals?

    Feliks-Audio EUFORIA - A Wolf in "Sheep's" Clothing...

    I had a similar question as was looking at a upgrading my second amp and already have a Echo and love it so wanted to stay with Feliks Audio, I was torn between the Elise or the Euforia. So the Euforia has a few upgrades from the Elise but is the Euforia a step up in terms of value for money or...

    I got mine from the Sony spare parts Australia, I am not sure what the comparative Singapore store is though but Sony Care might be able to help you. https://www.speedyspares.com/shop/sony/4007-sony-ier-z1r-balanced-headphone-cable-s0191277421.html?search_query=sony+ier+z1r+cable&results=2565

    Feliks Audio Echo (new budget OTL amp)

    Got to try some new driver tubes. Two versions of the Siemens CCA and I think it was a Russian 74 or 75. The other Siemens Rohre come in a slightly darker blue box, would not recommend for the Echo as its a bit more brighter and was not a good match, whats the difference between the 2...

    Feliks Audio Echo (new budget OTL amp)

    Yes you would probably not get the best sound quality. It will probably have background sound which would affect sound quality. I have heard some people do use lower impedance headphones on the Echo but technically not recommended. The Elise goes down to 32 ohm but it's double the price. I...

    Feliks Audio Echo (new budget OTL amp)

    I like the Feliks better then the Woo Audio but I think you would be limited to the Woo Audio based WA6 on impedance of your headphones. The Hifiman and Aeon will work on the Feliks but it is not recommended, didn't check the impedance of your other headphones just knew these would not be...

    Feliks Audio Echo (new budget OTL amp)

    I was looking at upgrading both tubes, was thinking Gold Lion for driver and power as https://www.evatco.com.au/6h30pi-sovtek Any other recommendations? Is the 6h30p interchangeable with the 6h30pi? Also is the also have the same question with the 6n6p and the 6n6pi?

    Tube Amp Recommendations

    I personally would stick with Woo Audio or Feliks Audio around that price. I am currently deciding which Feliks Audio to get next as have the Echo atm so I may have a bias. I like Woo Audio but prefer the look of the Feliks but either seem to be super popular. I think the Elise is considered...

    Feliks Audio Echo (new budget OTL amp)

    Hmmm, bought the Echo about a month ago and love it so far. Having to use as a preamp into my SMSL SP200 just so I can use my XLR cable as my single ended is terrible and ruins the experience till my new cable comes in. Thinking about rolling tube but I like the sound atm and don't know better...
