hi. I live in brazil and I own a Aune t1 mk1. My tube has gone bad. =( So I'm looking for another one, willing to pay around 20-50 dollars for it. But I've no idea which.
My father is in the US up until Christmas. I saw these on ebay:

I've no idea which one to buy, if these are even decent grabs. So if you guys just link one to me I'll just buy it, no questions asked. lol
I just want my Aune T1 back and running quick! I miss it so bad! haahaha

thanks!

I've added YES/NO T1 compatibility to your links above. Tubes that start with "12" will not work.

God bless your heart.

Nevermind.

Guys I'm using a Ultrasone 900 with the stock tube for years now.... I'm looking to upgrade my tube but can't make up my mind...

What do you think? I like clear, detailed sound and love a somewhat good sound stage. Don't need more base or high's over the stock tube because the Ultrasone is already a bit U curved.

Gold Lion Genalex E88CC/6922
Tungsram PCC189 (1980)
Brimar Blackburn PCC189 A-Frame Philips
Philips PCC189 Holland Heerlen
Tungsram PCC88

ps. Mostly listen to pop/rock and all kinds of minimal techno (electronic music)

I'm lost...

Hi,

I used to have a T1 and loved tube rolling. I spent tons of time researching the various tubes, some of the history, of course sound quality. I do still have my "Grail" tube collection:
Mullard CV2492
Siemens Cca
Amperex ECC88
Telefunken E88CC

Each of these are in the top of their class and each have unique sound characteristics. (Note: I worked only with NOS tubes--supposedly better than later vintages.)

To go to your need for sound stage, I'd look towards German NOS: Telefunken, Siemens, Valvo, Lorenz.

If you want to benefit from a zillion hours of tube research/rolling that resulted in a great tube in each of the major sound categories, I would sell you my four and you'd have everything covered.

Regards,

Thanks for your feedback and I would love to buy those but don't have enough money for that for sure. Also shipping to The Netherlands is gonna be expensive as hell.

I have my eyes on a Siemens E88cc/6922 a6 Bundeswehr for 55 euro. Or maybe a cheaper Gold Lion Genalex....

The Ultrasone 900 pro already have a lot of bass and highs so I think it would be good to look for something that brings the mids a bit up and the sound stage.

Does anyone leave their Aune T1 on 24/7?

do yall think it is ok to do so?

From what I know running tubes for too long can sometimes affect sound quality. I would suggest you give it a rest each night but you can run it all day no problems I'd imagine.

Tubes has different lifespans, some are 10k hours some are 50k hours etc. Let it run, there shouldn't be any problems but it shortens the lifespan.

Remember back in the days military and telecommunications used tubes and they had to run 24/7 so the tubes are built well.

Hi guys, id like to known some recommendations on the following uses with the T1 MK 3 tube dac.
Looking for a possible upgrade for the free tube that comes with it.

Purpose: Game, Movie, Classical music(low on vocals ussually) and Movie Soundtracks (instrumental) like hans zimmer and so on. ( dont rly listen to "normal music")
Each category can have a different tube recommendation if you have one that is...

 

[HeavenNotes]

You will be in love with GE 6GM8 ECC86. It is an immersion music experience.

 

[SirBashALot]

I'd recommend a 7308 Amperex
