Correct. Those are the ones. They are fast, punchy, and detailed. They demand that you roll the 300Bs for your own optimal sound. They pair well with tubes that are of at least slightly warmer character than they are.
Apparently, the High End Audio Fuses (Synergistic Research) use a particular premium Graphene UEF compound that reduces the Noise Floor.
Whoa…!! I sound intelligent don’t I !! That info was borrowed from the website that sells them. They retail out at about £190.00/$212.00
Yes... same here. The DAVE sounds so much better overall with the Farad supplies and associated upgrades with SR Purple Fuses. My incoming Envy will be treated to a Fuse as well.

Anyone tried running IEMs off the Envy? I really like my Final A8000 at times. Wondering if noise floor would be too high?
Also, I'll be new to tubes ... do these TOTL tube amps similar to Envy have microphonics, pick up RF/Bluetooth/LTE/Wifi noise? Also, if it does pick up vibrations, if one has a 2.1 speaker setup, wouldn't the resulting viibration from the soundwaves get picked up by the tubes on the amp?
Sorry for these simple questions, diving head first into tubes. Learning as I go. They look so sexy lol ...
I think new SR Purples sound warmer and less detailed to me at frist. Once broken in they tend to get more linear and lose most of the warmth. Very detailed, neutral. Sound good.
I actually prefered the SR Purples on the Ferrum stack before they were burnt is, even though they were rolled off. My system is a bit bright to me so this helped, once it broke in it sounded better but lost a lot of the warmth. That is also a reason I am getting into tubes.
Probably will get Elrog ER or Mo & WE 300bs. Get best of both worlds. Still trying to find the NOS 6SN7s I want for them.
*Ok, back to work. Back to work. Back to work .... I can do this LOL ....
That video is, sadly, very low resolution. Interesting though.
I use UM MEST Indigo balanced out of Envy quite often. It sounds great, and better than in any other amp. Impressive that those scale up this well, actually.
I was at the London CanJam this year and heard the Envy with a few Headphones.... whatever was plugged into it sounded fabulous. This is a rare occurrence. The only other Headphone Amp that did that was the Zahl HM-1. I wanted to steer away from SS so went Tubes. I've purchased some Elrogs and TS 6F8G's (dated 1950) to roll soon. Just want to hear the initial sound signature of the stock Envy for a while before rolling. Can't wait.....

? Perhaps D-E-M GmbH will introduce a Sesame Street ‘hybrid’ with red glass: ELMO…
