I'm so glad I can hide behind an alias when I tell you that the problem was that I had left the left channel in pentod mode and only shifted the right one back to triode after having tried out the diffrent settings. :P

So I spent the evening having a little amp-battle. Actually I was only going to test if the TU-8200 could drive my Monitor Audio GX100 but since the amp was standing on my other amp, Onkyo P3000R/M5000R, some comparisons had to be made.     At first I was really amazed how great the TU-8200...

JK-47,   no I never reported that part of the problem to them. I changed them simply because I was curious.

So I changed the capacitors and voilà, the problem I described earlier disappeared. Now left and right channels starts at the same level. Im going to let the new capacitors run for a couple of hours and then I'll give them a listening.  

Not 1/4 rotating of the knob, that would render me deaf, 1/4 of normal listening level :) About 8 o'clock is about as high I can go with my AT-W5000 (50 Ohm). Thank you john57 for the answer!

"When I turn the amp on I first get sound in the left channel and after about 2 seconds the right channel comes to life. When I turn it of the same thing happens, the right channel fades out first and then the left. Is this normal?"   That was a question I e-mailed Elekit and then I got the...

Effusion,   thank you for your reply and your suggestions. I e-mailed Emi at Elikit and I got the answer that KT77 and KT99 both work fine with the amp. Maybe you could edit your original post with that info so that it is documented where people easily could find it? I went ahead and ordered...

  I want just a bit more clarity/presence/detail in vocals (female) and maybe an over all more "air" (does that make any sense?). I listen to mostly Jazz, a lot of it being vocal, and opera. I use Audio-Technica W5000 as my main headphones but I also have a pair of Sennheiser HD600.

Effusion,   thank you for that detailed answer! I really appreciate you taking time to help out!   I have already sent Emi an e-mail about the KT77 and also asked if there is a complete list of accepted tubes. The reason why I'm looking in to the Genalex Gold Lion KT77 is that I want just a...

JK-47,   Thank you!  I have been through this thread twice so It's not a lack of effort that makes me ask these questions. KT77 is only mentioned one time in 130 posts and that's in a copy of a review, but  that's maybe enough to answer that question? About the questions regarding pre amp...

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster.   So I found this amp kit on the net and contacted Victor about it, and I have to take my hat of to him, what a nice man and great salesperson he is! How ever I ended up buying from Japan since the Swedish krona have taken a bit of a plunge compared to...
