Is there any reason to change the ELNA RJB 3300uF caps to the Panasonic FR? 

I just did a capacitor upgrade on my Aune T1 (MK1).   I bought the suggested ELNA Silmic II and Panasonic FR caps, but ended up not replacing the 3300uF. The original ones, labeled ELNA RJB, was in fact bigger than the replacement Panasonic and looked decent.   Some people has reported...

I stumbled upon this picture showing AKG N75 beside N90Q       It clearly shows an AKG fullsize over-ear headphone called N75 with a weird looking headband attachment, but I cannot find any info on it on any other site. Personally I hope it's a noise canceling over-ear headphone a good...

I have the T1 on my AKG K550 at work, and it sounds great!   The big hazard about the T1 is tube rolling. Most people will say it is an advantage but I say its a hazard. It can cost you a lot because it is addictive! just look at the T1...

Five days have passed and no distortion. Connecting the Aune T1 directly to my computer solved the issue. Probably to much data through the USB hub after getting the new laser mouse was the issue. 

Yes. I have it

I have had my Aune T1 for a year now, and I have been very happy with it. In the beginning I got infected by the tube rolling disease, but luckily I recovered before I ended up buying ridiculously expensive Simens and Amperex tubes :) My main tube has been the Voskhod 6N23P "rocket" and it has...

I am looking for an amp to match the design of Abrahamsen A-DAC. The dimensoins are: (W x H x D) 12.5cm x 6,5cm x 14cm and It looks like this:   By the way its a really good DAC and costs only 995NOK ($166 / 125€) http://www.store.abrahamsenaudio.no/

Interesting post Salvatore!   I was almost hooked on tube rolling, but I was able to pull my self out of it :)   I realized that the differences between the tubes was so subtle that I really had to concentrate 100% to enjoy these differences. As my setup (T1 + K550) is at work...

About the amp rolling I have been looking at the millet minimax. It's a hybrid (solid state & tubes) diy amp. Has anyone tested that combo?

(double post)

I also ordered and payed for the 6N1P tubes once, but I redecided before they were shipped, so I altered the order to 6N23P through PMs to the seller. The 6N1P are used in the Schiit Lyr by some, so it might not be that bad. The guy I talked to who had tried the 6N1P had a bad channel in the...

According to Wikipedia 6N1P is a far relative to the 6DJ8. It has been tried in the T1 but not with any good results. The 6N32P from Voskhod (rocket logo) is a better alternative as first tube

Quote: I bought from the same seller. It took some time until It was sent from Hong Kong airport, but not two and a half weeks... From the package was marked as shipped in eBay to I got it was 12 days (to Norway)   I Also bought the 6N23P voskhod tubes from Ukraine for 25$. They are...

Quote:   I would go for a Voskhod 6N23P (rocket logo). It's relatively cheap, easy to get your hands on and it sounds good

Last week was probably not my best then. I was beginning to get sick and had my head full at work. I was actually home sick saturday throug tuesday this week..   I'll guess that combining vine tasting and tube rolling will go in favor of the last tube tested regardless of which it is :)

I guess I have to eat a few of my words now after recieving the Voskhod 6N23P tube and doing som more listening. I certanly can hear the difference in sound, but like Blues Daddy says it's subtle. This is like wine tasting actually. I'll have to learn it by trying. I will be careful to point out...

Wops, read it to fast :)       I just got a pair of 6N23P voshkod from Ukraine. It took exacly one week (to Norway)    

Try bypassing the tube using the aux in with the tube pulled out

Quote:   The plastic tube protectors have a tight fit inside the holes. First thing I did when I got the T1 was to file them down. I got two pairs, so if you broke one there should be a spare in the same bag... (I have the black version with 6922EH tube and 230v adapter)   The tubes...

About the three different Ultron PCC189 tubes. If you look at the lot of ten that MacKajVah bought there are three different boxes. Maybe he can confirm this when he gets them, and also if the tubes inside also differs accordingly. And If he can also compare the sound. Six of then have Special...

I did "burn in" the PCC189 with 40h of brown noise. (The K550 I buned in with 60h of pink noise). Maybe critical listening or tube rolling isn't for me, but in any case, I enjoy the sound from my headphones + amp very much!   Thaks for the tips about sound terms and how to listen. I won't...

I have tried som more rolling today between the 6922EH and Phillips PCC189, and if I listen very closely I can maybe hear that the PCC189 is a bit more "open". Is it this you guys call sondstage? I find this tube a tiny bit more relaxing to listen to.   I find myself using the PCC189 most...

I have now spent a few days listening and comparing the stock 6922EH and Phillips PCC189, and honestly I cannot hear much difference. I use my K550s and Spotify premium and iTunes (Apple lossless) as source. I've listen to pop/rock/folk (like Mark Knopfler)   Are my ears not fine tuned...
