Feliks Audio ENVY

Pm’d regarding the purple
Ordered the Elrogs yesterday… can’t wait for that!!

What I need now is a good power cable. I do have a bit of noise. SU-6 helped reduce it quite a bit. Anyone have any suggestions ??? Not looking for the crazy $$$ cables….something semi-reasonable, definitely < 1,000 ?

I am trialing a very nice power cable from Hapa Audio that is quite moderately priced. Considerably less than $1k. I also like the iFi Nova cable as a passive cord. The SupaNova active cords should not be used after power conditioners or regenerators. In all honesty, even the cheap nice Chinese Amazon cables sound fine with Envy, though I prefer the others.

Also, I recently replaced my Furman 20A box with a Puritan PSM156, and the improvement was staggering.

My purple fuses arrived. Does anyone know the proper fuse orientation in Envy? If not, I’ll measure and report back.

Please measure and let us know. Appreciate a picture with indication which way it’s supposed to go. I was going to do it for every but don’t have Envy yet.

I’m ready. Now just need the Envy.

Ok. I measured. On Envy, the fuse is vertically oriented, and power flows from bottom to top. So the “S” should be down on an SR purple fuse. In fuses with arrows, the arrow should point up.

1.6A SR purple fuse, just so it’s all in one post.

Rockin the Elrog ER300B and stock PSVane tubes. sounds spectacular.

Impressive preparation, kudos to you sir

Clearly his priorities are influenced by this and 2 other threads.

@Somatic Welcome to the Cult of Elrog.

Thank you. Still waiting on one more matched pair.

I got Elrog ER300b, 2 matched pair of Melz 1578s 63’, 1 matched pair of ken rad vt231 black glass, 1 matched pair of NIB 6F8G round plate ring tsol, 1 matched pair NIB rca vt231 smoked glass.

Got to catch them all. They were talking about tubes right?

You are in great shape for hearing what the Envy can do!
Really glad you snagged the TSRP 6F8G..........paired with the Elrogs they are simply stunning in the Envy.

Thank you. This is my first true foray into tubes. Diving straight in. Got the woo audio adapters as recommended.

Now time to stop spending money LOL

Which driver tubes to use with envy? I'll use elrog 300b for Power tubes.

FYI-Just got my Woo 6f8g adapters today… they fit too deeply/tightly into the Envy. Damaged the wire that goes to the top of the tube. Will need to get socket savers to lift the adapter up. It’s a bummer, the Woo adapters are really nicely built…can’t believe a messed it up before I even got to try it

 

[nwavesailor]

Yeah, the Envy sockets are deep and do require a socket saver with the 6F8G's / adapter.
Even using 6SN7 / 1578 I also use socket savers or I'm pulling the tubes out with mostly glass and very little base.

Damn. Anyone using these adapters without problems? @nwavesailor

You will need socket savers with the 6F8G in the Envy.
