Feliks-Audio ELISE...New thread.

[UntilThen]

Should be receiving my T1s today or tomorrow. Im afraid I really screwed up the over/ under. Bet OVER.

Congrats !!! So your Elise is ok with stock drivers and 5998? If that's the case, your T1 should sound awesome with those tubes.

Im hoping the T1 will allow me to use my st shaped drivers.

Yes try it. If it doesn't work I really want you to talk to Lukasz. ECC31 with adapters should work without problems in Elise. So many of us use it without hum. Same with Mazda 6N7G.

I noticed the comment about female vocalists I think I need a pair of T1s now, but I think I have reached my end game with HD600. Female vocalists already sound alive, up close and personal

Hehe Got it, I am getting two pair of GEC 6AS7G now The last pair you posted says, does not ship, I read further and it said, 'excludes Saudi Arabia'. Guess I am going to ask H1 for his pair LOL

Wait until you get the EL3N's running, LR, you will like your Senn's even MORE.

The EL3N's like my Senn's way more than my Beyers. The FDD20's like the Beyers' more...

@jerick70  be serious and buy it. Give your LCD2.2 a rest. Feel the need for speed because the T1 will make your LCD2.2 sound like a tortoise. You might also start to love sopranos.
 
This is terrible. I'm loving it more and more with each passing hour. T1 is nowhere like the DT880. So vastly more superior.
 
I'm back to 2031 and 5998 for the last 2 hours. 

 
Oh dear, UT...looks like I'd better stop getting ecstatic about things - with the collection so far, I could just be steering you to bankruptcy, lol!!

...(but just be sure to salt away your Elise...plus tubes, of course!!

).
 
Anyway, terrible is good!!!...ENJOY!...

Oh, by the way @supersonic395
, this is one (sprightly?!) 65yr old speaking...methinks we T1 owners cover a fairly wide age range, lol... ...(Such a leading/loaded question of yours!! :wink_face: :bigsmile_face: ...but we don't mind! ...). CHEERS!

I was just interested in the age range as no one I know cares about superb audio quality.

I'm 27 btw

UT, first HPs I got were Focals and those were like 275 USD. Never ever thought I would spend this much on a pair of phones. Then came HD600, spent more than 350 USD and sold my Focals :O LOL Now you want me to spend another 600 USD on a pair of used HPs. I must be crazy to spend that amount again on the phone
 
Yes, you made a point about GEC 6AS7G. A TOTL will give me greater improvement in SQ but I don't have funds for both atm I am really glad that HD600 happened to me, before I was listening to a very crappy HPs.

H1 beats me to it but I feel I must add something here too. Keep listening to the HD600 but don't waste time putting off the T1. Get the 1st Gen while prices are plunging. Incidentally the 1st Gen suits Elise better IMO. I know because I've just the tubes to boost the T1 to perfection. 
 
It would be a shame to stop at HD600, especially when the T1 price is hovering around $600 on nearly new units. T1 and HD600 will cover all your base. So get those 2 headphones then call it a day. 

 
Once you hear the T1 with Elise, you'll be hugging a tree. GEC 6AS7G is less impt. Get the T1 first.  

 
Let me read this review, but I am not getting the T1 any sooner
 
Haha do so, he might sell HD600 to get Elise.

  LR, read this review. The reviewer has the HD600 and the T1. For good reasons. So my recommendations of the HD600 for you is correct. So is my recommendation of the T1.

ps I need to recommend the reviewer an Elise.

 
I think the same, the guy is Mister-X I know him, sells at high prices, maybe the stuff just came out of the factory Who will be the lucky one to buy from him this time?

  I feel that GEC 6AS7G at the asking price of $550 is absurd. 5998 is half the price and probably more than half the bliss. It's different flavours. If you have to spend $550 for the GEC then I rather you buy the T1. The changes will be more dramatic.
 
Elise deserves a TOTL headphone.

Hi JV,
 
You just make me curious and I am so tempted to try the EL3N but I will not be able to do that until February arrives. The adapters are no where near in my sight, and I am going to visit UT in mid January LOL Might try at his place hehe..
 
I think you also want me to buy Beyer for FDD20s and Senns for the EL3Ns I am going mad crazy now, I might go bankrupt... hehe!!!
 

Wait until you get the EL3N's running, LR, you will like your Senn's even MORE.

The EL3N's like my Senn's way more than my Beyers. The FDD20's like the Beyers' more...

dedicate this song to all the olderfolks in here

 

[Lord Raven]

Listening to her and I am in total awe 

 
Has anyone listened to this album?
 
I got a 24/96 SQ, and it sounds marvelous. Her voice is so sweet, I fell in love with her on the very first listen.
 
Glorious sound through a Elise>FDD20>5998 

 
These FDD20s have made all other tubes in my stash catch dust in the drawer LOL
 
Who wants to have my Mullard, Mazda, Visseaux, Fiver 6N7G tubes? I am selling and buying more FDD20s for certain... 

 

 
Dedicated to all the lucky ones, cheers!

Ah, s395...so it looks like us old'uns are useful for something, lol!

. And you are to be praised for appreciating/understanding good sound (and taking the necessary time & effort to get there...well done!!). I'm sure we are all eager to hear your future findings...soon, hopefully!

...CHEERS!

Hey LR...please, please try the EL3Ns before getting more FDD20s (spoken by the one who brought this fabulous blue-coloured tube to our ears, lol!

)...the ELs leave the 20s in the dust!!!

.

 

[hypnos1]

Sorry guys, but I have to say one more thing about the EL3N...I previously thought this tube wouldn't need as long as the FDD20 to reach its best...WRONG!!!
 
With well over 60hrs on them, they're still getting even better! This is beginning to go beyond crazy, lol!. They are now so far ahead of anything that's gone before, it's almost a joke!!

. So, once again I must repeat...please give them the long burn-in, even though they sound great from the off.
 
That's all...for now!

 

[mordy]

With all the talk about new headphones I also got a new pair.
 
How about 85% of the sound of the $500 headphones for one hundred times LESS????
 
Presenting the VE Monk:
 

 
If you travel with a portable player and don't like to lug along your expensive and large headphones, this is the answer! These earbuds cost $5 + $3 shipping.
 
 
 
Received my pair yesterday, plugged it into my iPhone and WOW! Won't bother you you with a review; just read the the recent posts of UT and hypnos1 about headphones...lol
 
OK, they are not T1s, but they are the best sounding earbuds I have heard, and at this price they are phenomenal! Great airy soundstage, great highs and mids, fantastic bass for earbuds; very good detail.
 
 
Check out what others and  Lorspeaker says about them:

For this price you cannot go wrong and you will be in for a big surprise!
 
BTW, I am 69 and going on 70. Think of it - some 60 years of  listening to music....

I was a young 59 when I started in head-fi. 

 Now 2 solid months later with Elise, I'll be 60 in April and the T1 is supposed to be that birthday present. I get to try it first....get used to the sound signature you know...
 
27 so young. 

 That's one year older than my son and he bought the HE560 and since his interest comes and goes I get to use it instead. 

 But he pinch one of my 5998.

Take your time with this hobby LR. There's no rush. Head-Fi isn't leaving planet earth anytime soon. Agreed that if you've just started to sample the HD600, you're indeed in for a very good time. Enjoy !!!
