Feliks Audio ENVY

[Somatic]

Joined the cult. Envy 1 + month away but wanted these ready for when it came. Seems default PSvane 6SN7 ok for now. Will try and buy some NOS in the meantime and wait for WE's new 6sn7 as well.

What are good 6sn7 combinations with the Elrog ER?

Looking to buy the WE 300b as well. Have something complimentary.

Edit: Was afraid these would sell out similar to Mos and didn't want to wait. As you can tell, I don't have much patience.

Elrog-worthy 6SN7's (and variants):

Melz 1578
Tung Sol 6F8G (require adapters)
RCA Grey Glass 6SN7GT
Sylvania 7N7 (require adapters)

I'm sure there are plenty of others out there, but...

FIRST!

$675 for a pair of Melz 1578 a fair price in this market? What questions should I ask before buying? Thanks.

I'd agree with the TS 6F8G and Metz 1578.

I'd add TS round plate and WW ll era Raytheon 6SN7 as well. Not as taken by the RCA's but YMMV. The RCA are good but not in the same league as the others listed.

 

[Somatic]

Damn. Where do I find these? Any reputable EBay dealers or independent tube sellers online that you can recommend?

Yup... 6F8G's even look good with adaptors!

A bit high. Somewhere in the $500-$550 range is more the norm.

I'd ask of they make any noise, if the pins have had the solder reflowed, and what year they are.

The Melz are getting hard to find. My current contact (in the Ukraine) is not available right now.

The 6F8G's can be had in the same price range. On eBay, look for "BuenosAires_Radio". Send him a message and tell him I sent you. Hell create a listing for you.

The adapters are Woo Audio. They're expensive but worth it.

If anyone with an Envy 120V version has replaced the stock fuse, could you please share the size and spec of the fuse? I can’t find the info online, and there is no TFM to R. Thanks.

(I’m away from my Envy and can’t look myself before the PC sale on SR Purples ends.)

 

[ColSaulTigh]

Appears to be a 1.6a T Fuse (Slow-Blo)

So it SHOULD be this one:

Thanks!

And the size 5x20 for sure?

Sadly PC is sold out!

I'm pretty sure, yes. All of the other Feliks amps use 5x20. Check Highend Electronics, they're running the same special (which I think is actually sponsored by Synergistic Research.

Does everyone have the digital manual for the Envy? If not, here you go.

 

[zen87192]

Anyone running Susvara out of their Envy? If so, please offer some info. Many thanks.

oppps… just did a search on this thread and got my answers. Sorry…

Impressions from warsaw:
They learned fast that Elrogs put the amp on the next level.
Also first shot with the Euforia + tube protection mesh. The new style looks gorgeous imo.q
