I think @hypnos1 is going to Canjam London. It's too far for me.

What's the Aeon?

Thanks David. I can't keep up with all the new headphones. Heard the Ether C with Hugo TT at the meet and it's articulate and revealing.

Tried them on the Elise? (Obviously) with adapters, right? Are these 6sn7 substitutes? What about 6sl7?

Looks like I've got some reading to do; however, I'd be obliged if you gave me a quick crash course.

Hi UT, the few times I've heard the Ether C it didn't impress me much, a little dry and without any sparkle in the highs to me, and 2 of the owners after hearing my Ypsilon build at the same time also went out and built their own, one even sold her Ether C. Funny you mention the Hugo since both of the owners of the Ether C had them, not the TT but the regular Hugo which I loved with the HD800 and HE560 while my friend in Japan who has both thinks they both sound the same but prefers the regular Hugo since its portable and he travels a lot, he also has the WA8 but likes the Hugo better. He's also the one who let me use his Liquid Glass (+ a few sets of tubes) for a few months but since I'm getting older and my hearing will only get worse I decided to spend the money on a lot of wine

David, the Hugo 2 has started shipping. You should sell your wine and buy one.

No way I'm selling the wine but I've been considering the Hugo2, but I'm also still considering a few other DACs amps at the moment.

Consider Yggdrasil also. I'm a fan now.

Heard a Yggy a while ago but liked the Teac UD-503, MHDT Pagoda and Metrum Musette better when I compared them at my friends house last year, its just a preference and not that any are better than the others

No doubt. The industry is growing and innovating to give customers more choices. It would be boring if everyone has the same setup.

Hey guys, i was wondering if i am able to use CV181/ECC32 tubes in the elise? And if anyone could confirm these two tubes as the real deal, theyre listed as Mullards.

Hi Wreckgar,

Here's the last page of the Elise manual.... CV181 is on the list..., can't confirm they're Mullards.

They are.

Thanks a lot for the info, not sure ill get them but good to know I rolled with EL12 and EL12ST for a long while but swapped to Tung Sol 5998 and EL11, really great tone, love it.
I had a chance to try the Focal Elear together with a Chord mojo last week, and theyre quite something, but still i got to say my modded hd650 is still holding up so might not be worth the extra money

Btw, @UntilThen have you received your Elise back from Feliks yet? Love to hear some A/B testing with the Euforia
