Vali 2 tube rolling
I used it when I had a Vali 2. It's not bad. I liked the Gold Lion 6922 better but it makes the sound a little V shaped.- Keno18

That's the sound I prefer, the EH sounded harsh to me. But that's why there's tube rolling! Right now I'm listening to a bright sounding tube the RCA 12au7a clear top.- Keno18

Balanced yes, but still not a great tube. Of the 2 6922s I have I prefer the Gold Lion.- Keno18

I briefly tried the Vali as a preamp a while ago but was not impressed. Less bass that way. I will give it another try.- Keno18

I've been using the EH 6cg7 lately because I've been listening so much, I hate to burn up the Tung-Sol 6sn7s or Brimar 6bq7s. If the EH goes oh well, just buy another.- Keno18

Vali 2 tube rolling
Went back to my old standby the Tung-Sol 6sn7gt mouse ears. Forgot how good it sounds in the Vali 2. Also had to switch from Qobuz to Amazon. The Qobuz app when trying to listen to a hi-res 192k 12 minute long track insists on first downloading the entire track instead of buffering. This...- Keno18

Please see the first post for version 2 of the install instructions. They've been simplified (I hope) to make it easier. Comments are welcome as are suggestions for improvements. New version 2.1 includes a limiter upgrade.- Keno18

There is no real go to for the 6sn7. It depends on how much you want to spend A good starting point is a JJ 6sn7 new production tube. $15.95 plus shipping from tubedepot.com Or a Tung-Sol 6sn7gt mouse ears vintage, $25-45 on ebay. Been happy with both IMO.- Keno18

Vali 2 tube rolling
Congrats on your first post. Welcome to tube rolling. You're off to a good start. I never liked the 6922 EH myself. Wait till you start rolling the 6sn7 and varients there of.- Keno18

The equalizer I'd recommend would be the Equalizer APO. But you'd have to upgrade the dac first because the APO installs into the dac's device. I'm using a system similar to what you're proposing. If you want a recommendation for the dac I'd have to say the ifi zen hands down. I use the ifi nano...- Keno18
