Leeloo is indeed the follow up to SE84, Anyone need tubes for leeloo

potentially. Are they known to be pretty good? I ordered a few black glass Tung Sol 12SL7s earlier. I assume the ones you’re talking about are a different version. I don’t mind going in on a few potentially, but I don’t know about half.anyone want to go in half on a dozen NOS tung sol 1960's vintage 12sl7's guy wants 195.00 for 12

Yea. I'm getting that black glass variation as well. The Tung Sols Joe mentioned do look pretty interesting though. They're quite a bit taller than the other 12SL7s I've seen. I'm definitely interested in splitting 3 or 4 ways, but I don't know about going in for half. Alternatively if someone else goes in half I don't mind buying half of what they got.Those Tung Sol 12SL7GT from the large lot are variously marked 322NZ3 or 322MK3 on the base and look different than the matched pair I purchased earlier:
May not be a concern but thought worth pointing out.
The point wasn't to declare the 2C52 to be the greatest input tube for the Encore. I was mostly noting that the 2C52 seems to resolve an issue I've been having when listening with my HD650. Compared to the 12SL7 I don't think I'd call the 2C52 an upgrade now that I've done a bit more listening. It's just a different flavor option that may or may not resolve an issue for some people in addition.2C52s are getting rare and in my trials not that much better than stock. Bottom of the barrel perhaps. Might have gotten some from mediocre batches. Rather than collecting 12SL7GTs get a 1960's Telefunken ECC801S and adaptor and be done with rolling input tubes.
I have no idea about the 600ohm tap as I don't have one, but I can say that I prefer my HD650 from the 300ohm tap over the 32ohm tap. It's a very good match. Unfortunately don't have a HD800S anymore to offer an opinion on that.I was reading on another forum about Kenzie, They were debating which tap to use for Sennheiser HD800. I thought the 600 was what Justin had recommended. I decided to try 32ohm tap, I can tell you I have no intentions of going back to 600 ohm tap. The sound difference was HUGE Much more Musical and involving with no apparent loss in detail or extension. I had started to think my new DAC was a mistake I have been in the NOS camp for years I had the chance to get the ECD-1 for a good price. I jumped on it (reminiscing of the EMC-1 I had years ago) Now I am SOOOOOOOOOOO Happy I got it
