O Chatham 6as7g e o RCA não são muito semelhantes em construção? O seu Chatham vs. RCA tem uma colocação de getter diferente?

Chatham vs RCA. You can't see the getter at the top of Chatham.

My T1 is from the 1st generation. It is an extremely detailed phone with wonderful highs. I get a great sound on it by always combining a brighter valve with a hot, lush one.

I can't imagine Darkvoice not giving Beyer enough power. What tubes do you use with them?

Right now a Mullard 6080 and a Sylvania 6SN7WGTA. They scale nicely up to twelve, one c'clock and after that volume remains the same. On certain songs I wish I could push them more but that's why I run the "hybrid" setup with the Marantz, it juices them up nicely. Any recommendations for better power output tubes ?

Anybody else using Beyers 600 ohm on the DV ? I feel like they are a little underpowered with every tube combo I have. I usually run them "hybrid" on a Marantz AVR with the DV as a preamp. Then they come alive
I understand you. I owned the T1.2 briefly and just felt like my HD6XX was a much more enjoyable listen and I didn’t actually purchase an upgrade. The T1.2 sounded too reserved, lacking low end, too thin, never really came alive for me and often had the volume turned up max. I think it wanted more power, as they are known to have great characteristics when happy and I know have great potential.

I still wanted a pair of Beyers and finally settled on the DT1990s and love them. I had a killer deal on the T1.2.. as they were basically the same price as the DT1990 but I sent them back.

Boy will you be deaf.

Really Darkvoice has a problem with the volume button. Mine doesn't increase after the 12h position either.

I listen to mine at the most until the 10am position, and most of the time I listen to the 9am position.

Below is a list of combinations that work very well with my Beyer T1:

Chatham 6as7g + RCA vt231 gray glass.

RCA 6as7g + KenRad vt231 or Sylvania Vt231.

Mullard 6080 + Sylvania vt231 or Raytheon Vt231.

Tung-Sol 5998 + KenRad vt231.

Just to add, I disconnected the output from the preamp, the sound changes. So my result may be different from yours.

I never heard T1.2, but I am very happy with T1.1. I heard that the Dt1990 is brighter than the T1.2, is it true?

I agree that a little bit of bass is missing, but I'm the middle and high end guy. lol

Thank you for the tube suggestions. Don't know about going deaf lol but really most of the time I listen at 9, maybe 10 o clock with the sennheisers. It's just that my 880s with swapped pads drop lower in spl and they really need more power to have them sound good.

How is disconnecting the pre output change the sound ? Need some schooling as far as DV mods go

There is a lot of information in that topic teaching you to disconnect the preamp output. It's very simple, and it improves the sound a lot.
