    And very soon 5A/152M :L3000:. I am missing ECC35 in my inventory. How do you compare ECC35 and RCA 5691?

    I am very interested in the new ZMF Aegis amp and would like to compare it to my Mchanson Super UltimatE. If anybody owns one, please bring it.

    Oh, you got 5A/152M drivers. Aren't they nice? You can get 1 more pair and run them in Sakuma style. Try the EL11 as drivers and the EL12 spez as powers very nice sounds. I love my EL3N in Sakuma style, the tonality is clear, rich, full and very dynamic.

    Very good catch @crakers7. My 2 pairs of Tesla and 1 GE all have 8 pins and a pair of Matsushita has 7 pins.

    Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...

    Thank you for your kind words @TheMiddleSky. It is very hard to compare between 2 amps. The only thing I can say is that Oblivion is a specialist in closed headphones, and has the wildest sound stage. Beautiful and fabulous sounds for my VC, AC and Eikon. Tomas built it with minimal input and...

    That would be a very interesting comparison. I did bring this attention to The (Un)Official Amp Thread For ZMF Headphones. As far as I know, I am the only one who has The UltimatE with 5v and 3Am rectifier, the same as ZMF Aegis(DIY Aegis has 2Am) in the US now. Hopefully, we will have some more...

    Have a chance to listen to my 4 pairs of EL34 together. They all sound great and beautiful. The warmest is Tesla Blue Cobalt, very good for bright headphones. Then the clear Tesla, Matsushita EL34 is very neutral and GE is the brightest one.

    Yes, just plug and play. No adapters needed.

    Comment by 'VanHai' on listing 'Merason Dac-1 - End Game DAC - Mint'

    One of the BEST Dac in my opinion. Currently, in my set up.

    Adapters for 5B/254M are here. They sound very nice and beautiful with either C3G or 5A/152M, but prefer 5A/152M. They sync better with a wider sound stage. I thought my ears deceived me, so i switched to C3G and 5A/152M 4 times. I have accomplished my mission of hunting all the exotic tubes...

    Here El11 with EL39. I prefer EL11 and EL12 spez more, EL11 and EL39 have a little more bass and everything else sounds recess to my ears.

    So an organic combination. Ken Rad 5Y3GT (rectifier), Telefunkun EL12 (power tubes) and Siemens EL11 (drivers tubes). Super smooth, clear, so dynamic, beautiful and harmonious sounds. Listen to this song from the Eagles with this combination is a treat.

    Yes, it is clear. Thanks, Matt. I want to make sure that I have the correct adapters to use EL11 as driver tubes. The adapters that @g0ldl10n built for me should be no problem.

    Hey Matt. Can we use El11 as driver tubes for UltimatE with the same adapters as for power tubes?
