No experience yet, but strongly considering a pair with my SEX. Seems the SEX isn't talked about all that much these days but I still find it to be a capable performer.

bah. Unfortunately I'll be in Dallas for work. Hopefully I'll be in town next time. Looking forward to hearing about the get-together!

great deal! thanks for the transaction.

Excellent ! I thought it might be a NU but knew someone here would have the scoop/ Much appreciated

tried this Philco 6f8g in the 6sn7 slot in the Dennis Had Inspire the other day. I'm going to keep it there for a while to get a good feeling for it before swapping back in the 6sn7 'bad boy' to do a full comparison. Initial impression is quite good. "Light, airy, detailed" are what first came t...

well sure enough! Must have done something screwy while trying to click into that picture to not get that display. Thanks for contributing that to the thread to correct my error.

I have some time on my hands right now laid up after surgery. This guy looks like a fun way to spend some of my day. Some ebay sellers deserve to be harrassed. I detest the "look at my 100% feedback" response. I've had in the last 2 months two different sellers not ship me an item, and when I...

I ordered one about a week ago, with the decision being partially as a result of your feedback in the 2c thread. I did get a little confused on ebay in that he just wants you to describe in the message what colors you want for your cable, but the colors don't have any names, and they aren't...

Welcome to the ownership crowd! If you love what you're hearing try not to dwell on whether or not something in the chain is up to the task. I know from my history anyway that it took me a while to break out of audiophilia nervosa's clutches. It can have you updating power outlets, fuses...

I've got nowhere near enough room on my amp to fit 2x 6J5s and an adapter on the socket. Probably a good thing since this thread already has me looking to spend my money. Seriously though this thread is fantastic.

I'm really new to the 6SN7 game, I sort of lucked into getting that Sylvania I have. The private party included it when I purchased the amp. I saw date code 226 and I thought, really well that's a little bonus? I do plan on getting some other 6SN7s like the chrome domes you mentioned, just to...

I’ve been liking this Sylvania doing driver duty in my Dennis Had amp.

Glad this thread had this small spin-off. Makes me want to consider replacing the ancient receiver I have hooked up to the tv with something I can use my headphones with.

I watch late night Netflix with the JBL earbuds that Roku put in their Ultra. I just never figured I'd strive for higher fidelity in that scenario. The 2Cs are open (unless you get the closed, of course) and let a lot of sound out into the area if that's a concern; it sounds like for you it...

I've got some scars on my head. These would fit perfectly.

This has been my experience with a few listens at shows as well. Pretty much concluded 'not for me' even though they've got plenty of fans. I tried to like them given the fit and look but it just wasn't happening.

I've always found the posts about the variations in LCD-2 results to be frustrating. Maybe each different year the cans actually are supposed to sound different, but as an Audeze owner it always makes me wonder if mine sound like they 'should' . I try not to worry about it too much. I've brought...

I tried to like the Meze 99 when I came across them at an RMAF, but couldn't get past the bass performance. As I like to say, if we all liked the same exact stuff things would be pretty boring, right ?

At least both of your cans are popular. Should be fairly easy to move either or both. Excellent advice in this thread for you I notice. As for ZMF, they have a number of popular models in your range, but they each have their nuances of character. When I listened to them at RMAF I found I liked...

"The Old Man Down The Road" - John Fogerty

and they are commonly being turned over for ~$500 usd here on the classifieds. I feel many of those selling these either have the persistent itch to 'upgrade', are just doing a catch and release to try something different, or they don't like the fit/weight. Mine probably aren't leaving me and I...

Here Comes The Sun - The BEATLES

I've tried a couple of the recent chi-fi offerings, but they all shut off after a few minutes in the dry sauna after the workout at the gym. Does anyone have an example of a twe that does not do that, or is there a way to tell in the description of the offering that they will not? Thx -Steve
