Not sure if you can use this in the DV, but a break out board is better than wiring to the ALPS pot itself as that pot is meant to solder directly to a board. I am using this in my BHC.

LOL! I need to go back to drawing school. Or just go, I guess, as 'back' would suggest I went at some prior point.

Isn't the HD6XX closer to the HD650? If you could have heard my A/B with some songs would be something that would make you reconsider the HD6XX. but the T1s were very good at detail and separation. Everything is very dependent on equipment, setup and preferences.

Today I understand what you meant back then.

I'm now listening to Hd6XX with Gec CV4079 and Melz 1578 (59), and just...WOW!!!!!

New arrival - Ken-Rad VT-231

No test values but for $29.99 shipped, I was on it.
Thankfully it tests much higher than the one I already own. Tests around NOS levels.

You can see differences in the top mica. Does anyone remember which is more desired? I believe the spade supports (the lower testing tube here) is more sought after and might be older? Who knows?

Pretty nice price if anyone is interested in one. I like mine, one of the first 6sn7s I ever bought. It tests around 80% on their tester. I think it’s from 1943.

dammit... I would've grabbed that one... why don't I get notified

Still finding the killer deals...

After a lot of thinking, I ended up purchasing the Sennheiser HD 6XX.

I'm surprised how good this phone is with Darkvoice.

Compared to which headphones ?

 

[HTSkywalker]

They RCA Gray Glass reputation still living up to the hype! I can't believe the prices they are going for these days though....

Agree, one of the best all rounder, very polite and warm

Nice seeing you again. What’s new?

Compared to ones that don't sound as good.

Seriously, although I haven't heard a huge number of different headphones, I think the HD-6XX is a huge bang for the buck. Sure there are better 'phones (and even much better), but I could also argue you'd be hard pressed to find a better sounding 'phone for $200 (US). And the HD-6XX is a very synergistic match with the DV, IMO.

This was sold to me as a “NOS 1972 RCA” for $25 shipped.

Look what’s inside..

I was hopeful…

but it tests awful. Heating the pins and cleaning them didn’t prove beneficial.

1300/300 (2600)


I knew I shouldn’t have told Bill, he definitely jinxed it. But hey, it does still sound good believe it or not.

Well there's the problem. Your pinky is resting on the knob for the 2nd filament selector which is why you're getting 300. See how much better the other triode tests when your pinky is removed?
