Out of interest is the W so much different from the WGT? Or for that matter the GT? It seems that the W is like 3-4 times the price.

I was unaware. But I am glad to read the other comments on this. I plan to use it in NOS mode mainly. Thanks for asking the question.

May KTE is really beautiful! I think you’d have to go some to have a step up from this. My current chain is Eversolo (streamer), May KTE (DAC), Envy PE (Amp with WE 300b and Mullard ECC33), Susvara. Other tubes in the bag are: Driver Tubes: Brimar 6SN7GT Black Plate 1940s; Tung Sol...

Thank you for the impressions. Also thanks for the referral to Dayan - just ordered a batch - he also does 300b saver sockets as well as adaptors.

As per someone’s recommendation… Tung Sol with WE on Envy - is lovely. Very clean and neutral is my hearing. Whilst the Mullards elevated the sound above the Psvanes. And the Brimars gives a fuller, ‘active’ sound. Anyway all in my newbie ears, on this addiction…

I 2nd that - moving from Full Music & Psvanes to WE & Cv1988 hum gone and silent.

I am new to this game… Anyway - I have had about 20hrs of each combo below - on Envy PE with Utopia 2022: WE with Mullard 6SN7/EC33 WE with Brimar 6SN7/CV1988 When I had the mullards after the Psvsme - it was step change better in every dimension. I really like the WE/Mullard combo. When I...

Great another tube to explore… rca gg… 🙈 I swear this is a bad group 🤣

WE blue glow with Mullard candles - lovely combo! Look forward to burn in and also trying out some other combos.

Yes - I think I saw those too…

Thanks for this - really helpful! Bit of reading… and chasing…

Thanks - I figured, there must be some stories therin…

Oh gosh … sounds a mare…

Thank you - this is really helpful! Now I need to hunt for the Melz 1578. Quick Look on eBay shows some for a couple of hundred £ from Ukraine and some for over 500 from the states… I can’t figure out the reason/difference…

Thank you this info 😃

Thanks. I have just placed my order. If/when I upgrade my envy - I will have the right tubes already 😃. I totally get peoples views of tube cost vs amp cost. So, defo not an easy decision. I assume the next decent level up from the Envy is likely to be £25k plus in cost? Hopefully if I do...

Sure - I was just trying to minimise the list of items. The comment about preferred is from reading these pages and what people have commented as their preferred tubes. They are not mine - apart from the bit at the bottom.

Just the ones referred to by recent new owners - lose glass in tubes etc.

Hi - just trying to summarise the ‘preferred’ tube choices for the Envy: Driver Tubes - Mullard 6SN7: preferred, not easy to find Are the 1940’s version better? - Brimar 6SN7: preferred, lots around - Brimar CV6: preferred by some, Using dual tube adaptors, plenty around and cheap - RCA - PS...

Also Kimber cables didn’t manage to make an appearance - whom I was looking forward to see.

Was it me or were there quite a few stands missing…???

Heard a few IEMs my fav were Sultan. Listened to those amazing Spirit Torinos - just beautiful. Had the pleasure to hear the Sangria with that amazing DAC - super sweet! How luck were we that Hifonix had this outstanding setup for us to indulge in. For my first CanJam - what can I say -...

On my way… Out of interest what proportion of attendees would be Head-Fi members?

My first visit to CanJam - also new to Head-fi. I am hoping to experience some cable options for my Stax 9s and Stellia. Also I’d like to hear proper IEMs and see what’s it all about - in terms of IEMs all I have atm is AirPods and Bose ANC. I am totally blind to the above two - so looking...
