I only have about 40-50 tubes total,and after a year,I havent even come close to trying all the different combos.

It can get a bit...ludicrous. My wife stopped going to my desk looking for pens. The last exasperated cry was, “Why don’t you have pens and office supplies like normal people in your drawers? Instead I open them up and all I see is tube boxes!”

I opened the bottom drawer and I handed her one pen that was stuck in the middle of two tube boxes, lol. Ah the good ol! stink eye.

Only 40-50? Hmmmm... I have something like 2000, and others have more than I.

 

[L0rdGwyn]

Yes, I can imagine what I have should last me years, but there is always one more tube to try.

That is hilarious @Phantaminum , I get similar looks from my girlfriend. I try to hide my tubes from her, but she ends up signing for my international packages, busted!

Things just got very, very interesting when I popped in some Siemens C3g and Fivre 6BX7. I think I am gonna stay here for a while.

Yeah im still very much a tube noob,and now with my Lampizat0r 'tube roller paradise' DAC incoming I have to start all over learning different types of tubes.

Will do! Definitely will need some time. Right now I'm doing some rapid fire tube rolling to find where I want to settle and dig in, but I have to admit, that ECC32/421A combo I started with is pretty hard to beat. Needless to say, this amp is killer dynamic.

@Monsterzero sorry to hear about the tear-down, but that new man-cave will no doubt take your listening experience to new heights.

Thanks for the well-wishes everyone, and big thanks to @2359glenn for designing such a great amp, have to mention that everything from the sockets to the power switch to the 1/4 jack feels very premium and satisfying.

I never took it apart you're diving right in !! I don't remember if i mentioned i included the fuse/ rca adapters provided for the 3 pin xlr i never knew what they were until i packed it and shipped it haha.

Awesome, thanks Wazzupi! I wanted to take a look inside as I am probably going to add a Goldpoint stepped attenuator and I am also thinking about changing the coupling caps (maybe not though, we'll see), had to check out the goods!

It was my baby took me like 8 months to finally let her go.

Have you moved on to a different amp? What do you have powering your headphones?

I will take good care of her!!! Thanks again, Wazzupi.

No way I will go without music. I will be using my den system.
