lol... if you did leave you headphones there they might melt?? which would be quite sad indeed.
how do you like that coin base 6SN7.. that tube got pretty roasted on in the Ref thread... looks pretty kewl however. Also how do you like that 6080 right now I'm running the GE 6AS7GA straight bottle tube + RCA 6SN7GT
Lol, seriously, I honestly don't think I can part with my HD650s. They have been the best headphones I've bought so far. They do everything right. The second is the Fostex TH-X00 Purplehearts.The sub bass and the vocals and omg it does all of it right lol.
The GE 6SN7GT Coin Base version was the one that got roasted. I'm not sure about the other companies coin bases, but the RCA Coin Base version was a bit to bright for me. I love the HD650s, but they are bright enough as is.
I rather enjoyed the Sylvania 6SN7GT Coin Base, honestly I think Sylvania is one of my favorite companies. I'm really on the look out for that gooey thick honey coated warmth that the Sylvania just seem to give off. The Sylvania VT-231, in my opinion, has better bass than the Kenrad VT-231. Maybe it's all subjective, the Sylvania VT-231 has this thrumming low end, where the Kenrad is tight, which maybe is where the "best bass" tube comes from.
Just got the TungSol 6SN7GT Mouse Ears in! My god its gorgeous, the seller unfortunately wrote "98 100/50" on the tube in sharpie, dick, lol thankfully its located on the back of the tube when it is in place.
Combo for tonight - TungSol 6SN7GT Mouse Ears and RCA 6AS7G (such a fan of the "coke" bottle). There is a bit of hum in the left channel from the TungSol but not very loud and the music easily drowns it out. Gonna need some time with this tube, obviously it sounds good. The bass is tight, the soundstage is an increase from the Sylvania combo I had going and of course there is a picture lol. Cannot wait to get the Bendix 6080. Should get it sometime next week. Also a KenRad 6SN7GTB came in. Tooo maaany tubes to listen too ugh.
