Okay, so it's 6N7- not 7N7,  I've got it now.
 
Well I've only heard the Brimar 6N7G's and 'hit with a wall of sound' is absolutely correct. Amazing experience.
 
EDIT (30/6/16, 0900 BST)): ACTUALLY BRIMAR 6N7GT.

Howie, post a pic of the Brimar 6N7G. Haven't seen it before. Expensive?
 
I wonder how they compare to the Fivre and Visseaux 6N7G.
 
Even the Brimar 6N7GT is US$150.

There has been some other English 6n7gt on ebay for the longest time and cheap, but it seems they sold out now. I didn't buy it because I bought a bunch of Visseaux 6n7gt for 5 or 6 euros each and figured I didn't  need any more. I wonder if they are actually English, the base looks like the Fivre ones.

Just got my copy of the new Audio Advisor catalog and noticed that they are offering several headphone stands. Most of them run around $70. Took a look at eBay to see if there are some special ones (my headphones are humbly lying in a cardboard box sharing space with various papers, cameras, bubble wrap and things that I think I need).
 
Anyhow, for you T1 owners, do I have something for you! A 1.5kg solid aluminum stand, available in different colors. It is only $160, but there is a 24K gold plated version available for $350.

I forgot - there is a chrome version for $250.

5 or 6 euros for Visseaux 6N7GT. You've done well.
 
Don't know about the Haltron Made in England though.

Guys, questions, did anyone received email from Lukasz recently?
I have been 2-3 emailing him in the past week with no reply.
I wonder if the email is down or email address has changed?


Seems like a few of you are not getting any reply. It could be they are away on holiday. Happens to me last year which I was ordering.

@mordy, the stands look really nice but I think they may be too short at 242mm (9.5" tall).  I've usually tried to find/build stands that have 11.5" or more to keep the cables from being sharply bent on the table top.  Could also be that most of my headphones have removable cables so the connectors make the height a little more.  For the T1/DT-990, using mini-xlr connectors adds about 2.5".

Thanks UT, that's relieving to know that I am not the only one, not getting reply.  I guess I have to give him some more time
I am a bit anxious as it has been 7 weeks since I made payment, I am expecting to get tracking number, not silent. 
Oh well, there's always exceptions in live, I guess.
 
I am fine now cos I can talk to my friends here to guess what happened, but for customers outside head-fi, they may be wondering whether the company closed down, run away with their money or what? 
It would be much better for Lukasz business if he can have the automated reply turned on to at least let them know if he is going to be away.
I understand Feliks audio is a small company, but it doesn't need any investment to turn on Out of Office feature or?
 
Sorry for rambling, I guess it's my anxiety virus symptom in action :)

No worries Redbull. :)

8 to 10 weeks is not uncommon. I know it's hard waiting. I've been through it. Then it came and the waits forgotten.

Remember the DNA Stratus is a one year wait from order. I know of other customised amps too.

Right now I'm going to watch Independence Day.

Apologies, meant GT. Sorry for that.
 
Won 4 of them on auction last week for just over £36, which included postage. I didn't know they could be so expensive.
 
The date codes are a year ending in 2-4. I guess its 1962/4 as the box has the price in UK pre-1971 monetary units of 17/6 +PT (purchase tax, an earlier version of VAT).
 
They all look the same, these are the two that aren't in the picture in Elise I posted earlier, #12333, p823.
