Thanks for this, will definitely give these a go next time, I bought the Feliks Echo about 2 months ago for my ZMF Verite Closed and was wondering what other tubes to try
I have both the VC and the Echo on the way. How are you liking the pairing?

Got an Echo recently. I know some people have had success using 12AU7 in place of 6922 in other applications, so I decided to take a spin on that with my Echo. But instead of the dual-triode 12AU7 I'm using two single-triode 6C4. There is a large and growing following of users of the 6C5/6J5 in place of 6SN7 and this is the same idea. Using two single-triodes in place of their double-triode equivalent has proven to be a significant sonic upgrade in every case. I asked @Deyan make some adapters, which would be the first of their kind. I haven't seen 6C4-to-6922 adapters anywhere else. It sounds wonderful as expected. I'm still evaluating and will post more impressions and comparisons in the near future. I have many 6C4 tubes to roll! I would imagine Liquid Platinum owners might be interested in this as well.

Hi. I just noticed that Echo V2 was released.

News from their website:
Increased power output
Better pairing with low impedance/planar magnetic headphones
Selectable 3 audio sources
More effective interference isolation
"Mute" function
Refreshed looks, more scratch and fingerprints resistant finish

Just came across this thread, and am super interested in this comparison if you still have the possibility to do it!

The original echo was a bargain. The espressivio is replaced by the echo 2 I guess.
I noticed the same thing. I guess the two were so close together that an improved Echo sort of naturally replaced the Espressivo. Or perhaps they have other plans. I know about one, but that is a new balanced tube headphone amp.
