Anyone want to buy my V2?
Comes with a bunch of tubes!

I might be interested in buying some tubes, especially any lower priced ones.
 
What tubes do you have?

If that could help anyone experiencing weird noise or static coming from their amp, mine needs to be cooled after maybe 20mins for listening.  Keeping it cool (near a computer fan) solve the problem.

Can someone tell me where I can get just the power cord for the Bravo audio amp, and maybe a recommendation for a tube to be used for it?

anyone used these with iems? i want to get them for their novelty factor, so im just curious if they pair well with iems.

Not sure which version you are using [of the amp]. I'm using a Siemens ECC88 A-frame (6 volt tube) [6N11/6DJ8/6922/ECC88, replacement].  This tube is very clear, transparent, detailed and not at all muddy like the 6N11 tubes bundled with the amp.  Not sure where it was made.  The getter is nothing like the other Siemens ECC88s (it is the only ECC88 with an A-Frame I've seen that's not a E88CC).  I'm sure the other getter sounds just as good.

well, i just got a 12au7 tube,  It is a 6n11 replacement, its literally the same tube under a different name so im told.

You must of got an amp with a 6V/12V switch (12AU7 is a 12volt tube and not a direct replacement for a 6N11 [6V tube]).
 
On American Tube names the first number is the heater voltage.  (6N11 is a chinese name for a tube, I don't know their system but I know it has a 6v heater).

I dont know what version it is, but the research i did resulted in multiple people saying the 6n11 and the 12au7 can be swapped without a problem.  If not, its okay because I only paid like 3 bucks with free shipping for it haha.  Anyway, here is a pic.  It is a dc24 volt, just picked up an adpater for it on ebay.  So, if you think the tubes are not sufficient for it, please let me know what else might be a better option

Thats a 6V version with bias adjusting. Don't use 12V with it.

Won't work with iem, too much gain, too much interference. This is best with 100+ ohm headphones.

Tube won't matter that much with this amp unmodified. You should first make it better by at least changing the output FETs for better treble, the old FETs rolled the frequency at 10KHz.

I am not at all interested in modding it.  All I care about is that it works and sounds decent, being picky is something I'd rather not be when it comes to cheap amps
Unless the mod you speak of is very easy, odds are good I wont change anything.
 

 

[Jazzyfi]

Let the original tube stays, won't give that much difference buying/using expensive tube with unmodified bravo amp.

My bravo amp was a gift that didnt come with a tube or the power cord, so it was either I pay $30+shipping for a 6n11, or $3.50 for the 12au7 which is the same thing heh

 

[Jazzyfi]

12au7 is not the same as 6n11.

The 12 works with 12V and the 6n11 works with 6V. Your amp is a 6V version, so don't get the 12au7.
