Feliks-Audio ELISE...New thread.

[hypnos1]

  Got my Elise for two full listening sessions...
The Elise is a wonderful amp, I did choose Visseaux 6N7GT and GE 6AS7GA for the burning sessions. I changed the 6H13C which was a bit muddy and not precise enough (probably because out of the box).  
When I will have the feeling that the sound is a bit stabilized I will try other combination.. as I do not have my tube collection at my place this is easier
I like a lot what I listen for now specially with small ensemble and voices. Organ rendering is also very good but from one session to another, more and more details are added and the tonality balance seems to be "real".
 
I did listen Randy Newman, Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel  as an appetizer for today upcoming session. All sound great and listening with the T1 is a perfect match !
 
The Elise is really helping you to find detail into recording and feel the music like if it was a private concert...
 
I did listen yesterday some choir music and you can distinguish every singer and rebuild mentally the scene. I got the same feeling when I did listen quad ESL-2912, Audio research G150 and a Wadia SACD player. With Elsie you can reach exception sound in reduced space....

 
Wow hp...that's a very encouraging start indeed to your journey with the Elise - boy are you in for a ride, lol!!

 
Glad you are enjoying her already, and look forward to your impressions further down the road...

...CHEERS!

Big Congrats, hp!

She will treat your ears with love and respect. Do you have #0023 by chance? Should be a plate on the bottom with the S/N stamped on it.

Sit back and relax with the Elise...she just gets better and better and better!

Congrats again, Sir!!

Were the LUCKY ones!!

On the 1st day Elise is just a tube amp.
 
On the 25th day Elise is a Mermaid.
 
On the 50th day Elise is a Unicorn.
 
On the 100th day Elise is a live orchestra.
 
Thereafter she is whatever you want her to be.

She is actually a "Soul Transportation Device"...

I've just written to Lukasz to thank him and say this thread is exploding with accolades for Elise. I also told him he should come by and read everyone's impressions of Elise, which is simply amazing. There's not one person who wants to return or sell off their Elise yet.
 
So he will pop by and have a read and his jaws will drop when he sees what tubes we're using.

Hi Oskari,

M2463-210 = 6N7GT
M2463-210E = ECC31, NR73,6N7G

Impressive that you came up with this list!

 

[UntilThen]

Wow whoever compile that list deserves a purple heart. Thanks Oskari !

Nope Sir !  Got 24 and 25 seems already on the way...

 

[UntilThen]

Wonder who's 23.    25 might be Aqsw...he'll be so happy.

 

[Oskari]

Well done, Mordy! (It helps if you've seen those codes before.)
 
UT, I think that pink would be more appropriate...

Oops hahaha shows how much I know about those decorations. My apologies !
Saw 'Full Metal Jacket' yesterday on TV and ummm...I like it. 

 

[Suuup]

Does the C3g's have a metal jacket or is it just metallic paint like the FDD20's? Can I remove it?

 

[Suuup]

I also think it's a Drivers + Powers deal in this amp.

Could be: Drivers + Powers + Headphones, too

Also Suuup...my Mullard 6080's were really S~L~O~W in coming, too. Have patience, my friend.

It arrived at the post office 8 AM this morning, and right now it's 11 PM. There has apparently been a mistake, so it has now been delayed for one day. Not sure what happened though. 
 
It is 3 km away, and yet I have no way to get it before tomorrow.

It has a metal jacket or shield which you can remove but carefully as the glass tube is brittle. H1 or some of the LD people can show you how to do it safely.

Suuup...it has a metal jacket as UT says. I have one that I need to take the jacket off of, will try and make some photos and show how it's done. The glass is delicate, you need to work very carefully/slowly. You will need a small straight blade screwdriver, a good pair of needle nose pliers, and glue.

When you take the jacket off, a piece of the Locktal base falls off, you need to glue that back on. There is one pin that is keyed, such that you don't put it on incorrectly. Will try and show that, as well.
