Thanks Loquah, That's good insight. Hopefully someone can chime in with some experience with the pairing.

Just noticed the other day Audeze plan on launching a 1200ohm planar.

 

[Loquah]

Yes. A Crack potential perhaps??

I tried using 6SN7 on the SEX it does work and sound nice,To me it sound more relaxing than the 6DN7.

 

[Loquah]

I seem to remember reading that it wasn't ideal due to a significant difference in its physical construction

I've been running it now for half hour so far so good no issue yet.I will continue to run these tube for a little longer and see what will happen.

That would be great!

I run the SEX with 6SN7 for 6 hrs so far no issue.

Interesting. I saw the discussion on the Bottlehead forum - seems the only issue is burning through tubes faster

Yeah, aside from too high a plate impedance for the output transformer and the potential for overheating the plate it's perfect. The only thing better would be a tube that was like a 6SN7 but optimized for the job.
 
Maybe like a 6DN7? 

 

[Loquah]

LOL. Designed that way for a reason, eh?

Wow, that's quite an impressive setup. Are those Blumensteins as well?

 

[Loquah]

Does this mean you got a Mainline or is it just visiting?
