    Feliks-Audio ELISE...New thread.

    Sorry if I missed this somewhere.  Did Lukasz ever affirm to anyone that using EL3Ns as drivers via adapter was okay for this amp?  It's not in the manual, and I want to stick to manufacturer-approved tubes.  Thanks, Amin

    Feliks-Audio ELISE...New thread.

    I've been comparing them for a couple days now, and overall I prefer the Sylvania 6SN7GTBs to the EL3Ns as drivers.  To me, the 6SN7s sound more forward, lifelike, and detailed.  Also had a chance to try some RCA 6AS7Gs, Tung sol 5998s, and overall prefer the slightly sweeter, smoother Mullard...

    Wrapped some electrical tape around those adapters.  Still a bit of an eyesore but better than the white, IMO.

        Just checked mine, and they came out about the same as one another using pink noise:

    Feliks-Audio ELISE...New thread.

      Right now I'm using Mullard 6080s as power tubes.  The 6SN7 drivers had me listening at about 9 o'clock on the volume dial yesterday.  Switching to EL3N drivers today puts me a little past 10 o'clock for similar volume (from HD800S).  I haven't tested with a noise meter.  Just going by ear...

    I got my EL3Ns and adapters in the mail.  Is it my imagination, or are these lower gain drivers as compared to Sylvania 6SN7s?

      I am one of those people, and I have not changed my mind now that I have my Elise.  Yes it sounds great, but I still view many of the comments as over-the-top.

      With all the posts about how some tubes or other are a WOW or MAJOR upgrade, it's easy to come to the conclusion that the stock setup must not be that great.   To me, the stock setup sounds terrific, and the upgrade tubes I've tried so far have made relatively minor differences to the sound.

                      As someone new to Elise and this thread, the one thing I find off-putting is that it seems like when one person doesn't like something that everyone else is hyped about, their opinion gets disrespected.  JV doesn't like EL3N.  So what?  Why challenge...

      I saw this in another thread:       Source: http://www.head-fi.org/t/410326/for-6as7g-tube-rollers-here/3510#post_12514342     Should I be concerned?  Could using the EL3Ns damage the amp over time?

      I did buy them.  I bought 6 tubes but plan to only use them as drivers.  Hope I bought the right adapters!

    Where did the idea come from to use EL3N tubes with Elise?  Just curious.   I've been looking all over for info about EL3N and haven't seen a whole lot of reviews / testimonies outside of this thread and a couple other sites.

      I'm going to stick with 6SN7, 6AS7G, and 6080 tubes.  They sound wow enough for me, and I need to draw the line somewhere so I don't blow a ton of money and time on tube rolling.  Also, I don't like the way adapters and such look .

    Feliks-Audio ELISE...New thread.

      Yes, I bought the Elise with stock tubes.  I thought it sounded great with the stock tubes as well, but the old stock Tung Sol 6SN7 and RCA 6AS7G were an improvement.

      Nice!  I just bought some of Sylvanias on Ebay:   http://www.ebay.com/itm/301955350870?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT   Also some Mullard 6080s from Langrex:   http://www.langrex.co.uk/common-valves.html

      Thanks!  Bifrost Multibit -> Elise -> HD800S is the most enjoyable combination I've found to date, and I'm relieved that I didn't have to buy expensive tubes to get to this level of enjoyment.   I did briefly try Elise as a preamp with the Audioengine A5+.  Sounds very good as well!

    New to this thread and loving my Elise :).         So far my favorite tubes are the pictured old stock Tung Sol 6SN7 and RCA 6AS7G.

    Hi @onsionsi   I am listening to music in Spotify Premium and use this program for EQ: http://www.equalify.me/   I don't have a guide.  I just started with the differences between the frequency response of these headphones:   http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/SennheiserHD800SmeasurementB.pdf  ...

    I've only had these headphones for a few days, so these can be considered preliminary impressions.   Using Spotify Extreme with Equalify plugin -> Schiit Bifrost Multibit -> Violectric V200 -> HD800 S   Build quality seems as good as I would expect from Sennheiser for the price.  Comfort is...

    @UntilThen I noticed you also have the DarkVoice 336SE.  I currently have that amp along with HE-560, HD600, and others.  Is the Feliks Audio Elise a very noticeable step up from the Darkvoice 336SE?  If so, in what way?

    Tidal lossless listening test, what's going on here?

    I just took it and got 2 correct out of 5.  In my defense, my kids are making a lot of noise in the house right now .
