Funny that the shipping is half-again the price of the tube itself! LOL FYI - I purchased my 4th Frankie earlier this week; I think I’m good for a while!😉 -Kev

Yeah, that is other worldly kind of stuff! Whether it’s the Franken tubes that be Bcowen turned me onto or the 7A4’s that Old Deaf Donkey loves, they’re both more than enough for me; and at $10 a pop why would I spend hundreds an hundreds more?

ODD - Yes, that is the configuration. @Deyan - glad you saw this! I continue to be very happy with both this dual as well as the 7N7 adapter you did for me as well. To all that see this, Deyan is a great guy, quality adapters and both shipped out and arrived REALLY quickly! Mucho recommend...

It was this one...

As I'm still in my 1st year of ownership of my Vali, and just a newb to this entire tube rolling hobby, my opinions are to be taken with a pretty small grain of salt I suppose. I have thoroughly enjoyed researching and experimenting with the dozen or so different tubes I've purchased thus far...

Hey there, ODD - I hope you are safe and healthy where you are at! I had wanted to ask if you ever looked into the same dual adapter that I had @Deyan create for me a few weeks ago? It has been working great for me and I believe it was you who had asked about it. Same goes for @bcowen I guess...

Hello all, I have a question about how to stream the best audio from my iPhone/iPad to my Auris Blume HD wireless adapter and was hoping someone here could chime in and either solve my dilemma or let me know why I might not be able to do so - thanks in advance for any replies! :) I am...

It is one that a fellow forum member that @bcowen referred to me that originally created a direct 7N7 > 6922 adapter for the Vali. After I saw the price of the ones on the interwebz, I asked him if he could do one that directly connected the dual 7A4 tubes to it as well - and he delivered! :)...

I love it as well; glad @bcowen mentioned it! The biggest advantage in my eyes (literally) is the visible line mark to let me know the volume level. I might paint my own on my Loki equalizer as those are even more dependent on seeing where the levels are. Even in a shot this close, I can't...

Mine simply pulled straight off; wasn't anchored on at all. Just make sure you dial it all the way down and try to match the same alignment of the mark if you put a new one on. -Kev

I'm in the same boat as oakparkmusicguy above; picked up my Vali 2 amp a few months ago now and have nearly 15 or so different tubes to try out. A couple adapters for the smaller tubes and the larger 7N7/6SN7 ones as well. For a pretty small investment, it's a blast to swap them out and...

Good advice; I’ll give it a try and let you know if it does anything. As you say, for $10, there are bigger deals for sure! Sorry to hear yours was kinda cruddy too! -Kev

Well, I just experienced my first "bum" tube. Purchased a 7N7 from a guy on eBay and put it into the Vali and only one side of the headphones worked. Put in another that I have to confirm and it worked perfectly. I doubt I'll bother to return it as it only cost me about $10 (it was the one I...

And as I am doing more research on this, I "think" that the music on/from the Amazon HD music player/site, DOES indeed both play as well as download in FLAC format, but conceivably would "disappear" once you stopped your subscription. This is basically the same as Apple's Music concept (the...

I admit I could be completely wrong here; you guys know a lot more than I about this stuff. I know it says it's "playing" in lossless FLAC when I click on the little HD/UltraHD icon to indicate it's sound quality, but can't guarantee that the same holds true once it's downloaded. Apologies for...
