Is there much of a difference between the Psvane EL34 types? For instance, between the EL34PH and the EL34UK? Pardon my ignorance.
I think they are good value if you shop around and find a quad for £350 mark. That's £87 each and a good few years worth of listening. While I think the Mullard EL34's win on sound quality, the Psvane34-ph reach a level high level. It'll be interesting to see how long they last though!wow,great review toonartist!
for me,the psvane-ph is a real significant step above the stock jj and eh tubes,and a really great effort for a modern day tube.
they are also much better than most nos tubes out there.the cost/performance on these tubes are off the charts.
Can't help with that unfortunately... that said, the Psvane EL34-ph comfortably outperform the Electro Harmonix tubes that the amp came with. I have seen a seller on eBay selling them in pairs. It might be worth a try and then you'll know for sure. Otherwise, we'll need someone who has compared them both to give us some feedback on the differences.Is there much of a difference between the Psvane EL34 types?

I use the IESL to feed the Stax with nirvana amplification and it works like a charm !You’re using the Nirvana as a pre into the iFi?
I actually have a cable en route to experiment with using same config as a pre to my CFA-3
Ah, should have looked more carefully. But great to know. And I’ll report on my experiment in a few days..I use the IESL to feed the Stax with nirvana amplification and it works like a charm !
Hello,You’ll find the Nirvana very versatile. I have the Thekk and works great with it. Had the Elite and same. Had the LCD24 and same..
Given your collection, I’d recommend perhaps get a great dynamic headphone, perhaps a ZMF Atrium or VO and run it on the 300 ohm tap. It’s very different to the Susvara and also incredibly enjoyable.
Hello,
Does anybody have an Abyss 1266 with the Nirvana? Would you kindly comment on how they go together? Is the Nirvana much different from HA-2SF?
Thanks.
Not sure if the pre out on the IV is new, but from a sound perspective it is identical to the pretty wood versions.Looking at Auris web site I see the Nirvana IV.. no more beautiful wood
Anybody has tried this IV version? I still see the Limited Edition with wood for sale (in Adorama) is this the same IV version just with wood?
Thanks
A fellow head-fier friend brought his 1266 over and we ran it on the Nirvana, which said was great (I don’t have a reference point so relying on him). It drive it with ease.
I believe the Nirvana is more powerful than the HA-2SF, but I’d guess they share similar DNA/voicing
