If you need 5b/254m to 6L6 adapter, Deyan knows because he has made it for me and it works.

Whether it’s to 6L6 or EL34, it will work in Ulimate because Eric tie the pins for the power sockets. 5b/254a needs it’s own adapter. The pins are the same as 807 but the top cap is smaller, similar in size to 5b/254m.

5a/152m can be use as driver or power tubes with suitable adapters. Just like c3g.

All these tubes except for 255m have been confirmed as working correctly and sounding great in Ultimate.

It’s fast track now. I am picking up the amp tonight. UntilThen lives in a fast pace world.

These days if I needed my amps repaired I will see Eric of McChanson amps but he told me he won’t repair amps not done by him and I respect his wish. Nevertheless I bend his arm and got him to replace the headphone output on Darkvoice.

As I said before, documenting the adapters from xulingmrs is pointless because she is no longer on eBay. Please see @Deyan for your adapter needs.

When I went home I power on GOTL and sure enough it works and sounded better than before. 😊

I know of a very good audio repair shop in Canberra. The engineer’s name is William who famously told me ‘I won’t tell you whether McIntosh or Audio Note sounds better, that’s for you to decide. I will however repair your amp to be better than new!’ That’s what he did to my GOTL replacing 7...

Refer to this post @Zachik They are power tubes.

That is a great pairing for sure.

These are on it's way to me. Standard Telephone and Cables Pty Ltd.

In the early days after the Oblivion became mine after the review, Tomas ask if the light is too bright or perhaps change the colour. I wasn't going to ship my amp back to him just to change the light. So I left it as it is. Mine is the original Oblivion with the big fan underneath. It is...

Odyssey and Oblivion were the most photographed amps when I was in Canberra. You can see Chameleon, @rollinbr KT170 amp on the right top shelf. I was testing it before shipping it off to him. Still had He1000se and LCD4 then. Even Elekit TU 8200R. There's the Axis Voicebox S on the desk and a...

Mine never varied in intensity. It didn't bothered me because all the gear there are putting on a light show.

It's confirm. I will be picking up the KT170 amp on Thursday morning and will only keep it until Sunday morning. I ask Eric why it's call KT150 amp instead of KT170 amp. Eric's reply is that the customer ordered it with KT150 tubes. So it could be call whatever because it will handle KT170...

Ok I am mistaken then. Interacted with too many people. Ask the other 2 from Germany. @Deleeh I am sure will volunteer the information.

Finally the Silk transformers from https://www.sacthailand.com/ arrived for the KT150 amp. I may get hold of this amp for an audition on Thursday or Friday.

Ask @jonathan c . He's in the UK and he had a Mini Ultimate once. I know 2 other guys from Germany and they can tell you whether they pay import tax. @Deleeh and @albertmuc. There are many US customers.

Love the sound from these ITT 5b/254m tubes and the amazing adapters from @Deyan. First time I'm hearing these 5b/254m in Odyssey. I have been listening to them in Ultimate all this while but they sound great in Odyssey too if not better. Tomas told me to use 5U4G rectifier for 807, for lower...

There were nights where I dreamed that Telemachus turned up at my doorstep. Odyssey greeting his son Telemachus. What a sight that would be. It's a wishful dream only.

Started tube rolling again on Odyssey. Bought 2 pairs of GEC 807 - ATS25 and VT60. Or rather they were birthday presents. Have GEC 807 ATS25 in there now and it sounds incredible. Odyssey's bass is very strong and sounds really good. Drivers are Telefunken EL11 and using Woo Audio 596 rectifier...

I wanted to be very clear that I didn't do all these for the community. It was all a part of my audio journey - Odysseus journey. If others benefit from it, then that's a bonus. Oct 2019, Tomas wrote to me out of the blues. He ask if I could review an amp he is building. No obligations he said...

You didn't tell us the price for the AudioNote caps though and FYI, I am not offended even if you say Mundorf is crap because I chose Mundorf and Miflex based on how much I wanted to spend on the Super Ultimate which came to a princely sum all in. Mundorf is also not Eric's choice. His choice...

Likewise Lory. It is a pleasure knowing you. Similarly I can say that I know you more than most people do and in a very short period of time. I am sure you've bought things from the supermarket and you check the 'use by date' on the item. Well my 'use by date' in head-fi is over. :relaxed:
