Feliks-Audio ELISE...New thread.

[UntilThen]

 

Do you realise that tubes are extremely high voltage. I feel my body in a constant electrical charge. Could be one reason why the music sound and feels so good. !!!
 

 
LOL.  Yeah I just found it.  A little slow this morning!
 
Tung Sol 5998 is all I need....  Man they are expensive!

...and we know who have been buying all the 5998. 

 

  Hi @UntilThen...despite the sad result from the EL3N experiment as power/output tube, this cloud has had a wonderful silver lining. Somehow - and perhaps the second name I gave Elise, ie 'Merlin' - is indeed appropriate, because after using in said experiment, the weak Osram (that I thought consigned to oblivion for ever) now matches my 'good' one in output...miraculous indeed, lol!

...(can't think the latter is now that weak after recent use, lol!).... Whatever, I now have an extra 'Holy Grail' in the arsenal...for which I have to thank you once again, mon ami!!...
 
CHEERS!

H1, you can thank me but after you try dual EL3N per power sockets LOL. I think this is the final showdown. Mrs Xu Ling has prepared my Paypal invoice for 2 dual EL3N adapters but I told her to wait 2 days while I go up the mountain to seek wisdom on whether this is a wise course of action.

Hooray I have been outbid on the 2 Telefunken C3G at $50.... 
 
I shouldn't buy any more drivers as I have too many already... in fact I need to sell a few. Drawers are overflowing.
 
Having said that, I'd have gladly bought the Telefunkens at $50.

This is a great combo.

EL3N as drivers and FDD20 as powers. Highly recommended to all who cannot locate 5998's for Powers.

They like Beyer DT-990 more then Sennheiser 580's.

LOL whatever is the case, I love tube sound... Lightning strikes cured all the hum and noise issues

  I love Norah Jones.

Nora has to be one of my favorite vocalists.

 
I'll have to agree.

Listening to David Bowie - Blackstar 24/96

My million dollar setup

Every penny that I spent, was worth it. FDD20 is that good, I have no regrets.

It deserves better camera to capture the beauty, I'm too lazy, the music made me so lol

Cheers to all the lucky ones!

Edit: Another hum/noise free setup

WAHOOOOOOHHH 

  Elise has arrive, stock tubes installed and burning in - 30 minutes and counting !!!! Listening to Glenn Campbell and Bobbie Gentry duets - don't ask me why - I'm so excited right now I don't have a clue as to what I'm doing.

 
My HD700s have never come close to sounding this good !!!!!!!!
 
I am now an official member of the club 

 Well maybe still a junior member - don't have a pair of T1s yet 

  But I sure have a desktop full of tubes all ready to go 

 
All of you have helped me arrive at this moment and great thanks for that. But really need to say a very special Arizona thanks to @hypnos1 and @UntilThen 

 

 

[pctazhp]

OMG!!!! Air Supply - Lost in Love. The base definition I'm hearing out of the HD700s is of another world!!! The layering of vocals and instruments is absolutely spooky!!! Next up: Marianne Faithful - As Tears Go By!!! Hear come the tears ))))

Hi pctazhp. I think we both feel this way now. Me happy to see you so happy. Enjoy ! Be prepared for many sleepless night. You need 24 hours for Elise to be primed but agree she surprised even from out of the box. Also go easy with the tube rolling. Don't do one every 30 mins. Wait for tubes to be cool before changing.

Stay with the HD700 for a while. Practically any headphones sounds good ...but then you start your journey of discovery of better sound.... 

 
Headphone listening is awesome with a good setup. Different experience from HiFi and in most cases much better.
 
All those songs I love too...let me spin it now. Yay Air Supply....cheers to the baby boomers !!!
