No mishaps Matt. Everything is working fine, it sounds awesome. Love at the first listen.I see the tubes are lighted. That is a good sign. Oh wait a minute. It’s playing Eagles. That means no mishaps on the journey.
After I got my Ultimate I stopped using my other tube amps...No mishaps Matt. Everything is working fine, it sounds awesome. Love at the first listen.

Yes, it is very quiet, wonderful amp.I am so glad to hear there’s no mishaps on the journey. Is the amp as quiet as I said it is?

Hello,My Gold Super UltimatE arrived this afternoon and i have to make a space for it on my rack.
Also very brave of you to go straight to C3G.
It's still something I'm holding back on my Junior.
Thank you, @Deleeh. I have Mundorf and Miflex caps in my amp. You should try C3G. It is very clear and neutral. I do not know how long the amp has been broken in by Eric and Matt, but it sounds great, and I have a lot of tubes to try out.Hello,
congratulations from me first and welcome to the Ultimate family.
Also very brave of you to go straight to C3G.

Which capacitors did you have fitted?
Remember that they still need to be broken in and will actually open properly after 200 hours plus.
Until then, there may be small dips where it can get a bit strange.
The new tubes also need a certain amount of time to break in.
So the bottom line is that everything gets better with time.
Personally, I used the time until the capacitors broke in to let the tubes play in at the same time.
I only really got to know Ultimate after 5-6 months.
At the moment I'm still listening to EL32 Mullard with the 5751 Tungsol (NoS) from Ez81 Nec, but I've switched to 6bw4 Sylvania.
With the Atrium it got too warm for me over time, but with the Auteur just right.
I will try another rectifier with Atrium.
But first I have to check what I have in my aresenal.
