hi, long time lurker....
 
 
just got my unit from massdrop. so far so good. 
 
anyone know if/where i can buy another power supply (110V)?  
 
id like to keep a set consisting of a spare power supply, USB cable, tube, and cans (the latter 3 is easy!) in two locations that way i can simply bring the main unit with me to enjoy both at work and at home.
 
any help would be appreciated!

I think there are one or two other people on the group buy website that would like to know this information as well.

I`m not sure if I`m correct but rockets with star logo should be worse than without. I think someone in here also mentioned that they are not the same tube.

Personally I found the EH6922 to be better than the JJ6922 (with about 15minutes of burn in....). The most striking thing that I heard was less bass quantity.
Grab the Tungsram before I do!

I think you are mistaking by taking that 6922EH bass "quantity" as good thing. Well yeah, with electronic music it`s good, has nice bass extension but with rock/metal/progressive it`s too much - it lacks tightness, kick and mids section isn`t so good. 

 
Jul 17, 2013 at 5:06 PM Post #2,349 of 8,309
I'm not really that concerned about the bass quantity right now. I just want my music to sound good again :) 
I'm sure the JJ has it's own perks over the EH. I'm not a total bass head even know I listen to EDM. And I do enjoy many other genres too. I love anything besides country.. lol
If the new tube does solve the problem though,  I'll grab the Tungsrams for later :)

so after quite a few hours of listening, I can't really tell any difference between the stock chinese tube. I think maybe the rocket one seems a bit more open sounding. Almost like the vocals have less volume, but other than that no difference for me. The 1 min it takes to swap tubes and warm up doesn't really help when trying to do a direct comparison. Think I'm done with tube rolling :)

EDIT: actually, one has a star logo, which I've been using since yesterday, and the other no star logo, just the rocket. Time to swap them over and see if there's a difference :D

When I first got my T1 I expected dramatic easy to detect differences between tubes but this wasn't the case. The first things I noticed were a slightly more open sound and that some tubes (including the Voskhod) were more difficult to listen to over long sessions. It was this comfort with the sound of the 9622 EH over the rocket that was my first discovery that tubes did have a different sound that I could detect, despite age related hearing loss and tinnitus. By the time I broke my Amperex 7308 in I realized that I had found the perfect sound for me, liquid, with a marvelous soundstage. You may in time find a tube that just "feels right" rather than the dramatic differences that people with more golden ears notice.

I belive that first tube that will make you really notice differences is Amperex OG. When I got my 6N23P, the main difference between 6922EH was soundstage size (air) and clarity. Like it`s been said many times in this thread 6N23P rockets & reflectors are foward-sounding tubes with quite small soundstage so It`s understood why you won`t notice much difference between stock chinese 6N11 & 6N23P. Also, for me they sound kind of "through the blanket". Seriously, try 6922EH or Amperex OG and you hear the clear difference.

I've heard people say that the AUNE T1 runs 6922 tubes at 24v, when ideally they should be run at 150v (and possibly higher).

Would this mean that the tube being used in the AUNE unit isn't actually having that much of an influence on the sound,

Where as, a full-size tube amplifier, running the tubes at 150v and higher, would?

Not sure about your claim numbers-wise but the tube swapping in the Aune T1 makes a tremendous and obvious difference to the sound.

About the distortion, it appears that rather than being something incredibly complicated (such as the socket, pins etc.) its just that the tube/entire unit quite often gets incredibly hot to the touch and I find myself having to unplug and reseat the tube regularly to allow it to cool. I can only hope that over several months/years that this won't damage anything and that the socket is replaceable if such and incidence occurs.
 
Several of you may have already seen this video of mine, in which I had installed the unit in a space in my desk designed for a PC tower. It started to attract a serious amount of dust there, so I've moved it on top of it in the hope that performance endurance will improve somewhat. I'll keep you posted in case it happens to improve matters.
