Thank you for sharing. That's a wonderful selection of tubes you have there. Bravo!

Hi, just gathering some info, I do wonder how does the darkvoice 336se stack up against the H5? Does anyone have both as a comparison? Grateful for some insights on how they compare to each other. Thanks.

Sure, I can ask them on your behalf. He too mentioned about the flat plate Raytheon VT231 claiming it to be better than the T plates, however he is out of stock for those for now. BTW I bought another Nos pair of the TS from the same seller as well. I will PM you if I have good news for the...

Hi, thanks for sharing. I have asked the seller who sold me the tube and another seller who claims that it is identical to a variant of the black glass RCA 6sn7gt. The same seller who sold me the TS has the RCA as well. I found some resemblances between the both. RCA on the left, TS on the...

I know full well what a bgrp is, I had a peek into the formation the day i received the tube too. In my limited journey I have not come across any flat plate variants from TS Gt series and staggered for the matter thus asked. To reply to a dialogue between me and another with a description...

Wow, what keen eyes you have! Yes its a flat plate configuration indeed. I found no information on this particular variant either, sonically I like it better than the mouse ears. Thanks for your input.

Hi guys, I am quite sure this isn't a BGRP, has anyone come across this version from the gt series? Any particular info for this variant? Thanks

Just to share, since xmdkq has replied earlier, I have taken the liberty to pm him. Since I am able to converse in Chinese, the dialogue quickly warmed up to be a rather engaging one. From our brief exchange, he shared at his semi retired status, he is trying to focus on the production based on...

Likewise, 336se was my maiden voyage into the world of tubes, what have I been missing all these times? The soundstage generated from tubes remains something truly special unknown to me prior. I concur totally, tubes can be a hit and miss. Finding a keeper would stir me to look for another exact...

Anyone here with the 336se having moved up to the 339i along the way? I am tempted on replacing my Dv 336se that quit on me recently with the Lafigaro. Is there any hum if any? Usually with the dv the hum disappears with usage depending on the tube. That said I enjoy the dv very much...

@mindhead1 Apologies for chiming into an old thread, I just bought darkvoice about a month ag. What an amp! I bought a nos Sovtek russian 6sn7, it buzzes like a beehive still persisting over a couple hours of running in. My other GE 6sn7GTA had a less audible hum it panned out into silence after...

Quote:   Thanks for the info. Out of the 3 which has the edge on the bass extension? I was told Modi's bass is not that outstanding is that true?

Whats the obvious differences out from the two? Thanks for info.

Anyone had any luck using the pre out as a standalone? I am keen to hear the reviews on the pre out quality. Thanks.

Quote: While you have advocated against "fake" items, you then highlighted mods with the "real" stuff based on the so called inferior fake? The saving of 50% on the finished item? Talk about being thick or grateful. The 50% mounts to be around $100 for the time and effort spent by the...

We share in your predicament of buying fake hitachi items off ebay. Certainly it's been a nightmare. Should I be complaining i paid money for my cds and records while none of them sang live in front of me? To illustrate your experience with us here is far from edifying for the thread, especially...

Mileage may vary for some of us my comments are linked direcly to my musical liking. I am abit of a sonic junkie myself, my musical diet ranges from chet baker to DJ shadow.  Nad with dynaudio remains to be the cost effective solution for my needs. Infact Dynaudio combo with NAD exclusively at...

Open vs close comes to mind between the 2. HD25 has a smaller soundstage compared to the open cans in general given the inherent design of closed cans. I do not own the MS1, comparing to the grado 125 that i use on a regular basis, the bass extension is miles apart. HD 25 makes the grado 125...

Finally i get to post something after learning much on headphones from this site. I have the c165 combo with the c275 power amp running together with a pair of dynaudio and a few cans for late night sessions mainly. My setup never sounded better since i came out of the nad c370 integrated...
