Havi B3 Pro-1 Impressions Thread
Hi neospider! Yes, i can comfortably wear them for hours, i can even sleep while wearing them haha. Their sound signatures makes for a really comfortable listen and i feel that i dont have to turn the volume up as much as with my old sennheisers. The many tips included in the package should...- CollectoR13

Wow, those chathams look great... So, hypothetically, what do i need to make my 6sn7 sockets ready for those 6as7s? I know I need a external power supply, but what exact board do I need? And do I have to short one connection in my adapters and wire it to the power supply? Is that how you can...- CollectoR13

I tried fuses myself, they make subtile difference, but increase transparancy a bit. But i got them for free, i would never pay so much for such a subtile change, maybe it was only autosuggestion? So i am definitely not a "fuse-believer" lol And re power cables, the only power cable that made...- CollectoR13

Hi hypnos! No, i have the mkiii. I might try some 6as7g in the future, but for now, i seriously don't feel the need to upgrade any part of my system. It sounds just perfect to me, i can get lost in the music for hours lol! Btw, did i post some pictures of my adapter? Don't remember, all...- CollectoR13

I have some sylvania black plates from 50s with 3 holes on one side and 2 on the other which are sounding perfect! Got them for around 30$ Here is a link of how they look like and a review: http://www.tubemaze.info/sylvania-6sn7gt-black-flat-plates/- CollectoR13

Absolutely right, i've made the same experience. To gravit: have fun with those 6hm5, they will sure be a upgrade from the voskhods (which i also had and loved, till i upgraded lol)! But remember, these are also more neutral than the voskhods, so they might sound not as exciting at first, but...- CollectoR13

Hi gravit! After my long abstinence here, i have to say that i found my endgame tubes. Many have now found that the Siemens c3gs as driver tube outrule most other tubes in areas like tansparacy and neutrality. I also listen to much rock and i have to say, neutrality is not bad for rock at...- CollectoR13

So quick update now for the C3GS. I put around 50hrs on them now and they changed kind of noticable, much more rounded and dynamic. All I have to say is: endgame. As hypnos said in his first posts about these tubes, they are some of the best to put in a little dot. I think they are totally...- CollectoR13

I have to say that I also think that the 6sn7 is the superior tube. In my setup its simply a huge step up from the 6n30s... Sound wise I experienced more space and ambiance (soundstage) , better control and dynamics and a definitly cleaner top end with better extension with the C3gs. And I...- CollectoR13

Thanks hypnos, very kind words. I look forward to some tube burn in, experienced it often enough to believe in it. Oh, and as you can read in my profile, I use to have kind of a budget setup, so I thought silver plated copper was resonable enough... I am only 17 years old, close to do my...- CollectoR13

So, the adapter is half done, its usable but not pretty, have to tidy up the wires and such... ;) But I can already say I am really impressed! I got the siemens C3g-s as driver and sylvania 6sn7gt (bad boys???) as power tube and i have to say that the effort is more than worth it. This...- CollectoR13

Great to read good comments about 6sn7 as power tube! My parts finally arrived and i am going to build my clean adapter in the next days. Would you wish to see a picture by picture tutorial on how to assemble? I think it could serve newbies (actually i am a tube wiring etc newbie, too XD)...- CollectoR13

Glad I bought c3gS... I think I wont be disappointed with the change i plan to make to the tubes. Btw, do you think the 6sn7 as power tube does make big difference vs my 6h30? Oh and forgot to thank for the explanation of tube pin abbreviations!- CollectoR13

Ok... And if I would try the same method like for the c3g, like hypnos adviced, means taking some copper wire of 1mm and manually wiring from every socket to a top socket? How should I wire from 6n30 to 6sn7?- CollectoR13

Thank you guys, i will start searching for parts. But what about the 6sn7? There should not be a high risk to use them as power tubes, since the stock ones draw similar current, right? Does anybody know another readymade adapter?- CollectoR13
