I have not, but I don't think its the cable as its a recent development? I might be wrong. Also, the volume doesn't matter and the buzz will be the same loudness no matter what I do. Also, my Ic cables are shielded, I am not 100 percent on the power though now you mention it.

Hey Guys. Sorry if this is a noob question, but my left channel can randonly start to have what sounds like electrical interference, and I have to unplug the headphones for a bit. I have wiggled the tubes but not much more. Could it be a contact issue and I clean it, or does it sound like a...

Hey mate. Did you get your HS01 in the end? I have just bought one so would be curious if it is as good as the Idefender. Thanks

Thanks man, this is unbelievably helpful to me. I have a 50 dollar off coupon for shenzhen so I will get the HS01 since it will only cost me about 20 dollars now, which seems a crazy bargain if it gets me that sweet silence. Thanks for that video, really showed it working which is exciting...

Hey guys. So I have a major ground loop issue where my main station for listening to music, is also a 3080 gaming pc. I can't really change the wiring around in my flat, and my motherboard doesn't support optical, unfortunately. When I use my Tube amp I get major noise when I move the mouse, I...

Unfortunately I don't have another cable. The only thing I can see, is one of the cables is clearly red at the end, and the blue one has a gap and I can kinda see the two pins? I'll get in contact and hopefully it's not too much hassle (or wait) for a working pair. Thanks

Hey guys. So I just received my monarch v1 and unfortunately there is a loud crackle when I let the volume up a fair bit on my modius and a90. This only happens on the blue, lefthand channel. It can happen with some guitar and especially bass on some daft punk tracks. I'm thinking this is...

Looks lovely, bet it sounds even better. The eBay bid I had my eye on ends today for mine so wish me luck, hopefully end today with a gumby also, fingers crossed.

That's helpful, I imagine I would feel the same. My listening is mostly headphones also, although my two-channel does get used when I can (I am in a flat at the minute)

Nice, I figured as much. I think I am pretty set on the Gumby. Hey, thanks for this. I think at this point its a different flavor of an R2R dac, so either way it could just be preference at that level anyway.

Thanks for getting back to me. So, I could technically afford it but it wouldn't be that comfortable. I'd make the sacrifice if the difference is worth it. I feel like the gumby is more than enough for atleast a year though and I could always upgrade.

Hey guys. I will probably get some slanted replies here but figured it's a decent place to ask. I can get a Gumby for about 800 pounds after I sell my old DAC, or a Yggdrasil for about 1600. Obviously, a 100 percent increase is a lot, and I am pretty sure there won't be that much between them...

II I am indeed. I have a 3080 powered pc that I use a lot and that's connected to my audio rig. I will definitely get a pi solution when I move. However, at the minute I have a flat where my gaming pc is besides my TV setup connected to my floorstanders, so 90 percent of my listening is through...

Thanks mate. Listening now, and even with the stock tubes its so much better than my Darkvoice with more expensive tubes in it. Next step is getting a new motherboard with Spdif, would an adapter be worth it or would it degrage quality?

Can't disagree with your logic, they seem to be working fine. Interesting. Maybe I just got really unlucky with those tubes.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. So I just put the 6080 in the darkvoice and it started to spark again. So those tubes must indeed be fried. I am a bit apprehensive to put the stock tubes in the Figaro now as I am sure it was the amp that did them in. I should return it, but I have to pay...

Thanks I will read up today. Where would I buy an adapter if I need one as well? Also, yes they both did it like that. It was like lightning ye, the tube looks the same as before strangely but I'm no expert. The thing is, I was using the tubes before so I think it was something with the amp...

Thanks I will do mate. Hopefully the sparks don't mean anything as well, but it was pretty worrying.

Yes thanks mate, I will sell those tubes off and get some new ones. I am thinking I potentially had them seated wrong as well. I know the mullard are compatable. Also, yes, I thought that as well with the voltage. I will wait for others advice before turning it on and making a very expensive...

These are the tubes. Russian 6kk4 I think. So the mullard were sparking as if they were going to set on fire. The clicks were way louder than normal and I could see literal sparks and it seemed like it was gonna set on fire that was my instinct. Would the slight voltage change from my UK...

These are the stock driver tubes. So I just got back and turned the amp on, my mullard 6080s started to spark and click. I immediately turned it off. Is it safe to turn it back on? I am worried now. edit* I have the 220v volt version and am in the Uk which I am thinking may be the cause now...

339i definitely. With the weird metal things on the front of each side for some reason?

I have mullard 6080s as the power tube, and Tung Sol 6sn7GTB with the brown base for drivers. I was using those on my darkvoice 336se. I have the La figaro 339i that I just ordered from Shenzhen. I am pretty sure I need an adapter for my old tubes to work so I was wondering where I could get...

I can take a picture when I am home. Essentially, the rca won't fully insert into the socket yes. I can use the main function and use it as a headphone amp now, I didn't realise it was a tube issue. Apologies, yes I mean driver tubes. So I've gotten the amp to work now but the driver tubes I...

Thanks for replying. Basically yes, the rca inputs are too loose for the preamp section of the amp. Shenzen has asked for a video. At first, I was confused as I couldn't get sound through the headphone in either. However, I changed the pre amp tubes and they now work. I still have my Darkvoice...
