Hi
 
I have an Aune T1 on the way and just wondering has anyone tried paring this with DT880 600 ohm?
I'm abit worried that the T1 doesn't have enough power to drive the headphones.
Thanks

dt880/600 is my primary hps but I don't run it directly from the Aune, I line out into a objective2. I'll try running directly when I get to work tomorrow.

Was sitting on this but looks like Head-Fi bought up all the tubes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PHILIPS-PCC189-7ES8-NOS-NIB-VINTAGE-VACUUM-TUBE-HEERLEN-HOLLAND-/261186327538?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item3ccfeb13f2&nma=true&si=PnfGwtBC84t9whzNms2BxElzNec%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Yeah, if you see a tube that is with good price and you want it - my recommendation - just buy it when you still have chance. Thats why I`m using opportunity to get enough backups for my Ultron PCC189 (will have 5 of them soon).

I'm still waiting for my T1 which has a 6922 tube, and I already bought an Amperex 6DJ8, so wasn't sure about the PCC189.

Doe these ship with an EU adapter?

It ships with EU adapter but it won`t fit into deeper sockets due to stupid shape it has.

Anyone here have a spare Ultron PCC189 they can possibly sell to me? (California).

 

[CoiL]

I would wait for BluesDaddy and Salvatore reviews about this tube because it`s only my personal opinion about this tube. Wouldn`t hurry to stock it up "blindly". But yeah, I do prefer this tube to Amperex GAC orange and it`s very good with every genre but best with rock/metal/progressive/jazz.

 

[Kamiru]

Thanks for the quick reply CoiL, I can just buy another adapter without worrying about blowing stuff up right? or is it some kind of special adapter?

 

[CoiL]

It`s usual UK > EU adapter, nothing to worry about. And remember to change UK fuse (13A) to smaller value (0,5A - 3A).

I've been trying to re-acquaint myself with my GAC while still burning in the Ultron. To be honest, I was liking the Voskhod so much with all types of music that I hadn't swapped back to either the GAC or the Mullard. My very initial impressions of the Ultron is that it is very similar to the Phillips PCC189. I did not get the "wow" factor that I got when I first listened to my GAC or Mullard. However, I've also been doing a lot of listening to my new (to me) Technics SL-1200 turntable and the sound of vinyl may be making everything digital sound a bit "hard" or "edgy" to me. I'm not sure when I will be able to offer a more substantial perspective on the Ultron. Listening to Bach organ works on vinyl is addictive!

Has anyone had a chance to use the T1 with a 600ohm beyer?  Any troubles regarding power?
