This will be used in my (🥲) UltimatE.

Woo Audio 12AU7 => 6SN7 adapter. The craftsmanship makes me swoon and will nicely match that of UltimatE.

Just got my Tungsram EZ81 NOS Full-wave Rectifier much better than the stock rectifier this one is less saggier than the original, sharper, must cope better with power demands In its design. It’s not much difference but I noticed it.

Mr Trev, I'm on triode mode all the time for planars or dynamic headphones. To give you an idea of the power of Ultimate. It's more powerful than Oblivion. My friends @xtiva and @gzbaga were here again yesterday and that's what they told me after hearing the headphones from Ultimate and Oblivion.

Looking forward to your Susvara vs. LCD-5 comparison on the Ultimate. :wink:

Decisions, decisions for Bryant. Gold Switchcraft 1/4" jack in the yellow spot? I think it will look nice. The amp is coming along nicely. Now I am having second thoughts about changing to a gold chassis with teflon sockets but black chassis will look just as good.

I swear when this is all over, I will be so glad that I can just sit down and listen to music. Didn't know I am so fussy with tiny details. Silver screws on that black Neutrik xlr bothers me lol. I mean what the fish, can't it come with black screws? What is Neutrik thinking?

My amp is scheduled to arrive Friday.

Finally, I shall bathe in the glorious light of Valhalla that is the Ultima :)

That is your preference but some of us will put up with a black dot in a sea of gold for the sake of ergonomics.

I mean in fencing, you thrush your sword at your opponent right? You don't plunge your sword at his head.
