Installed Uber upgrade three days ago.  Run the DAC 6 hours a day or slightly more for two days to burn in.   It took me 20 minutes and fortunately no mishap.  It is obvious that you have to align the LED's first then secure the board to the inner chassis, not connecting the board to its...

I found it.   Apparently, it is back ordered for 8/2!   Thanks for the reply!   Abe

Hi, thanks for the reply.  No, how do I do that?

Hello guys!   I would like to know how long did you guys waited from ordering the upgrade up to receiving it (no installation)?  I am curious as I ordered mine:   Order Number: 8244 Date Ordered: Sunday 14 July, 2013 Detailed Invoice: Products...

Quote: Hello,   I did not say "burning up", I am saying it will not last as long as the GTA/GTB's.  

Quote: Exactly!  Like the VT-231 for example.  If you run VT-231's on circuit with plate voltage designed for GTA or GTB then  your beloved tube will not last as you have expected.

Hello,   OT here but just want to ask if anybody have a lead for a pair of type 26/UX226 tubes?  Preferrably "globe" type.   I posted this here as I figure that enthusiast who collects 6SN7 tubes might know some leads for buying the type of tube I am inquiring.   regards,   Abe

Quote: Go for it!  I have the LD MKIV and the Lyr.  You will not regret the purchase.  Those moments when you want to energize yourself at the very instant, plug to the Lyr.  At times when you do not care about "audiophile" thoughts and just listen to feed your soul, plug in to the LD...

Quote: You are a good sport Doc!   Anyways, please post your impressions using your 650 with the modi/magni combo.  My daughter (pic below) got the bug ever since I let her try the 650.  Big mistake on my part, I guess the SkullCandy I bought for her does not suit her anymore.  I even...

Come on guys....move along!  You got "baited", get over it!  Those kind of post are common to any audio forums.  If you ignore it, it will die on its own.   ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Quote: I do not think that is correct.  What about ECC83 (12AX7 ---> 12V heater), ECC82 (12AU7) etc.  E88CC and ECC88 have differences.  Yes, they can replaced each other but it depends on the circuit.  The 6DJ8 can draw 365mA (at 1.8W), while 6922 draws 300 mA(1.5W).   The difference is...
