KTE Holo Springs L3

Excellent choice!

I have my KTE L3 for about 3 weeks now with Glenn 300B, very musical sounding DAC, I'm torn between Yggy and the KTE though, Yggy is more transparent and has tighter bass. Been listening mostly to KTE L3, but still trying to decide between the two which I like better

My final configuration... I don't think I need as much weights, basically just the ones on the transformers are enough, but already bought them so... might as well use them. If you put your hand on the power transformer and feel the vibration, then weights will help, 300B tubes seem to be sensitive to these, not sure about EL3N or the OTL. With Utopia I basically don't hear any more hum!!! You guys really got to try this.

It looks like a zen garden.

Glad you've finally got it where you wanted it to be. One of the graces of the 45 version of this amp is how amazingly quiet it is. I'm not sure where the major difference lies, but I've plugged stuff into it that were as sensitive as IEMs and still nothing but dead silence. Those same headphones buzzed so loudly when I plugged them into the OTL it was comical (and unlistenable).

Haha.. it can be unsightly, I do plan to paint the weights black.. but zen indeed, very quite. Haven't try any other more sensitive hp other than Utopia, may take the Meze 99 home from work to give it a try this weekend.

Didn't know a 45 exist, mind posting some photos for us to lust upon

I was debating between these same two dac's...I have never heard either one.

Excellent choice!

Thanks, I am really excited to hear the difference between my PS Audio Nuwave delta sigma to the KTE Spring R2R

Let me know how that goes. I'm curious about that PS Audio DAC, as I really like their gear, but haven't heard that one.

Has anybody used the Shuguang CV181-Z in the OTL for the 6SN7 tube? I remember that tube being really fun an bombastic with the Liquid Glass. Wondering how the Glenn would respond...

It should work fine don't know how it sounds though.
Over priced you can get much better NOS for allot less money.

I found them to be dry, although very quite tubes back when I was using them with WA22

It is important to remember that Shuguang's so-called CV181-Z is just a 6SN7 stuffed into a sexy bottle and given a sexy name. The Shuguang tube is nothing like a real Mullard CV181.

I guess it's been long enough that all the old photos are well buried now. Now that I think about it, it's almost 4 years old. Wow. Time really flies........ it doesn't feel like it's been that long.
