Eufonika (Valve amps from Poland)
received my H5 kpcu after a painfully long wait and unfortunately it arrived damaged.
luckily its working fine.
only went for stock tubes and was expecting them to not be that great. But, i have to say, so far its sounding lovely with my dt1990.
i do plan trying rolling the tubes regardless as this was one of the big appeals of the amp for me.
as others have said, the amp is totally silent with no signal at full volume.
great bit of kit, just a shame that baggage handlers/couriers cannot take more care.
i need to learn which tubes are compatible, so will start by re-reading this entire thread.
i am curious if the front tube or rear affects the signature more than the other?

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that damage!
What kind of tubes did you get stock? Wieslaw indeed does provide more than decent ones, which exactly depending a bit on what he has in his NOS stock.
I have found both tubes to have a large sonic impact. Mix & match! Typically you would start with the preamp tube but let’s see what you have in your hands today.

an rca 6080 at the rear and the front one is a 6h8c but no clue on manufacturer

I think that’s a Nevz. Not bad, not bad at all!
Though very popular, myself I do not like the RCA very much. Sounds a bit smeared to me and a tad sibilant. Though it can pair well with some brighter preamp tubes, I’d start my rolling with that RCA.

Sorry to hear about the damage, really not what you want efter waiting a long time. Sad that couriers can't handle the packages better
How long did you wait to get yours?
As a woodworker, if a piece I made was damaged like that in the shop, I'd put a roundover on the whole top edge and call it a day. If you taped it off we'll, you wouldn't even need to disassemble it.
initially ordered on aug15.
that amp went awol and Wieslaw sent out a 2nd one which arrived today.

To each his own, but within that price range I'd go for a Svetlana.
hi mate,
could you please post a link to the adapter for the 6922 tubes, the old one doesnt seem to work my end.
i have a box of 6922s that i can try in my new H5
Wieslaw sent me Svetlana 6s19p tubes and when I was troubleshooting I ordered another batch from the early 60s. I'll let y'all know how they sound when I get the new amp.
anyone here running 6N1P tubes? Wondering what rolling them to ECC88 would do. Lot's of nice dutch tubes out there.
thats a lot cheaper.
i have a heck of a lot to learn on this rolling malarky
