I have an older AmpsandSound Kenzie. I am using matching NOS 1626 Power Tubes with approximately 200 hours on them. Recently, I got a lot of crackling (like intermittent static and popping) on the right channel. I thought it may be a short in my headphone cable because to me that's what it...

Another up vote for qutest. It works great with my original run Kenzie, and I have no intention of changing up once my Agartha arrives.

Re pins - a while back I got a rare tube with jacked up pins that I was very concerned about. Got one of these and now I use it before putting any tubes in just in case. It works great...

Question for you guys with some experience with VOs... Think I might have screwed up my pair, but not sure. I had about 200 hrs burn-in on mine with a mix of actual use and pink noise tracks. Last week before going on a trip for 5 days, I connected them to a dap (A&K A&Norma SR15) with a...

Great. Thank you.

9 pin native. That's really good to know re: 6SN7. I definitely want to avoid paying for an expensive NOS tube and not being able to use it. May be worth emailing Justin on your issue. He's always been very responsive. I just hate to bother him if there's another Head-fier who can educate me.

Ok, one more, and hopefully the last tube question. I am trying to get tubes in order for a Agartha v2. It has 2x 300b's. The input is a 5751/6SL7. Do I have to be wary of low gain variants (12AU7 w adapter / 6SN7) properly driving 2x 300bs? Does the fact that I will be using ZMF's (ie, a...

That's exactly what I was asking. Thank you!!

I have an old 60s telefunken ECC801s that I use with a converter in my old Kenzie. Can anyone tell me whether this is compatible with the new input tube setup. (ie. Bigger Ben 2 / Agartha 2). I saw the list that appears to be expansive which had ECC803S on there, but not mine. Thanks!!

Question for you guys re: an issue I created with the magnesium chassis: I ordered a suede strap for my verites bc I wanted something that would stick to my balding head a little better. For this procedure, I had to undue the screws with an allen wrench (2x per side). On one of the sides...

Hoping someone can provide a little input. I have just received my VO African Blackwoods. Absolutely beautiful. However, sonically, thus far, I haven't been that impressed, which is crazy to me in light of the enormous love that people have for them. My favorite cans are my Teak Auteurs. But...

Update: Website has now been updated to make clear that the one listed is the Rev 2. https://ampsandsound.com/products/agartha Can't wait to see some reviews.

Looks like the new one to me https://ampsandsound.com/products/agartha Price is 6300 and you can see the pots behind the power tubes to adjust noise
