I own a pair of Fotons from 81 and I'm not that impressed with them. I've got the real deal coming in next week. A pair from 52. Hyped to test them

Where did you get those?

Psvane Premium Grade KT88 power + 1952 Sylvania 3 Hole Bad Boy 6Sn7gt.

Update: RCA 6080WC -power- + Psvane CV181-TII -driver-
Extreme detail, big soundstage depth/width, instruments sound very real, lacks bass, kind of analytical/boring dry sound but worth having if you like classical, jazz, live music: very lifelike, kind of fatiguing after 1-2h // The accuracy of instruments with this setup is incredibly amazing, piano feels so real // Edit: When your brain gets used to this sound it is no longer boring but fantastic experience, the CV181-TII is really something

RCA 6080WC -power- + Psvane Elise Stock -driver-
Very decent detail, big soundstage depth/width, that tubey sound is back, bass is decent, fun/enjoyable due to the warm tube sound, no fatigue at all

Ordered an Elise today. Should arrive next week. Hopefully pairs well with my headphones ^^"

With Verite is a very good match, and ZMF in general. I heard good things about Stellia and Utopia should not be very different. So you'll be fine.

Concur with my friend @OctavianH. I run Elise with both ZMF Auteur and Focal Clear MG and enjoy the heck out of both pairings.

Does anyone know what the output impedance is of the latest 2021 revision of the Elise?

The Elise 2021 PDF says: Optimal headphones impedance: 32 - 600 ohm

That’s the recommended impedance of the headphones, though, right? I want to know the output impedance of the amplifier. They list the Euforia as having ~20 Ohms output impedance, but can’t seem to find this info anywhere for the Elise.

How are you liking it?

I wasn't really impressed (compared to Kinki THR-1) but I am now with different tubes

I think it's a step up from my adi-2 headphone output for the verite. This is my first tube amp in a good while and I am still burning in the tubes. Do like the extra power on the verite

 

[joseG86]

I've been trying lately the Foton 6SN7 and I really like their sound, specially with the Winged C's as power tubes. Very analog sounding and very very cheap, better than default Elise driver tubes

Any Elise owners think the Euforia might be worth the "upgrade" or "sidegrade"?
