I am getting happier too. Expecting a pair of Philips EL34 XF2 OO getter and a pair of Brimar 6V6 black glass. Should arrive in a couple weeks…😃😎

I prefer CDs to streaming

Me too. Listening to Sade 'Love Deluxe' album released in 1992, a CD I bought years ago. SupremE has RCA 5T4, Raytheon 6J5gt and Psvane 2A3. Just 3 different types of power tubes but they are unique and sufficient.

I love all 300b, 2a3 and 45 on SupremE. Bryant will be pleased.

It's a cheap AUD$2699 for a match pair. :relaxed:

https://sonicpurity.com.au/tubes/western-electric-300b

About the same price as Elrog. :relaxed:

About the same price as Takatsuki. :relaxed:

Of course there is the more expensive Elrog.

I suggest you buy all 3 - WE, Elrog and Takatsuki. :relaxed:

Ah ok ,cheers. I think I see one in my future :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: does it output a bit more power ? I want it to drive my speakers (96db) as well as headphones, I am in love with my UltimatE but have always wanted a 300b speaker amp
I have one of Eric’s 300b’s I upgraded the caps and resistors it sounds fantastic as the caps settle down with headphones or speakers, highly recommended.

Those headphones are from Fostex T50RP MK2 and MK3 that i built from scratch or modified. Currently, i have 6 ZMFs and 4 of them are modified. I prefer CDs to streaming, but i do have Amazon Music and also listen to YouTube.
May I ask what there is to modify on the Zmf?
And what have you modified?

@David A Silva that will certainly be a nice party with these beautiful tubes, have fun in advance.
Let us know how they are.

Bigger sound stage and separation. For more clarity and a better bass, I have modified my VC; Eikon, Autuer and Aeolus. Been listening to my mod VC and Eikon with the UltimatE. Eikon sounds fantastic, much better than my AC Olive LTD,

Okay, that sounds good.
What have you modified on the headphones, if you don't mind me asking?
