RCA 6SL7GT black plate nos coin base . thinking how it sounds like , maybe i would buy one

Not sure how a 6SL7 with 3.5x the gain would do in the Darkvoice...never tried one. I have both RCA and Sylvania coin base 6SN7's, and both are distinctly unremarkable to my ears. Perhaps there are different versions that sound better, but my trials with the first ones didn't give me much interest in exploring further. YMMV of course...

…unremarkable with distinction? …

That too. Then there's GE's that would be remarkable with extinction.

 

[maketus]

ok. then i dont buy that RCA 6SL7GT black plate nos coin base. Also thinking what different tubes satrt to test with adapter , but not sure what is cheapest way- too many options, 6j5 way or somenthing else

How about GEs being execrable with distinction?…

I am considering a Darkvoice as an amp to use with my HD6XX and ZMF Aeolus. https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/det...6se-tube-amp-upgraded-tubes-cv181-t-nos-7236/ I know that other have said it works well the Sennheiser 6 series but what about ZMF Aeolus?

Don't know how it would do with the Aeolus, but it drives the Atticus quite nicely.

That's a pretty steep price for a used amp. Not sure what shipping/import duties are into Canada, but Drop has them for $250 (US), and it looks like they are in stock.

You're new to Canada aren't you?
Yup, we pretty much get gouged on everything. Exchange rate alone is going to add 30%

Your Atticus treating you any better now with some break-in?

I know where Canada is. Does that count?

The Atticus have opened up very nicely. Initially the bass lacked extension and had no real body to it (anemic, as it were) and macrodynamics were missing in action. After about 50 hours there was noticeable progress, and after 100 the bass began plumbing the depths with power and slam, and dynamic contrasts have become in some cases almost startling. Improvements have been more incremental since then (I'm up to about 200 hours), but at this point I'm enjoying them a lot. I swap the HD-6XX's in every now and then just to be sure it's the headphones themselves breaking in and not my ears breaking into the headphones. Most definitely the former.

I like Canada Dry ginger ale. What about that?

As long as it's mostly rye, you're good.

I saw a sign that said "Drink Canada Dry", so I have friends that have been trying to do that for 50 years.

Are you thinking of Vernor’s?…
