Feliks-Audio EUFORIA - A Wolf in "Sheep's" Clothing...
Jul 30, 2017 at 12:36 PM Post #3,631 of 11,472
This morning I'm listening to Euforia with Sylvania 6SN7W/GEC6AS7G. Wonderful. May be my best combo, but that changes with my mood. I keep my eyes open for a pair of TS6SN7 Round Plate drivers, but the ones I usually see are very expensive or are not NOS, and even those are expensive. In addition, I am saving up for a Gumby so I can keep up with @connieflyer. CF. I forgot if you have the TS round plate drivers. I hope not, because that would just up the expense of keeping up with you!!!!

Hi pct,

Don't now if it is allowed (can't keep track of the Feliks threads and where and what to post), but you could look into a 12V TS Round Plate 12SN7 tube for the same sound at a much cheaper price. Of course, it requires an adapter and a 12V power supply, but it is doable.

I am waiting for my adapter to try out TS RP 12SN7. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-Octal-S...357847?hash=item2ca4acef17:g:DqoAAOSw4UtWTTyd

How does Sylvania 6sn7W compare to 1952 Sylvania 6sn7GT (bad boy)?

Thanks Mordy. I think choice of FA thread is like choice of tube combos. Personal preference, or in my case it's like tossing a dart blindfolded. :o2smile:

And thanks for the advice on the 12SN7. I tried external power last year. Can't remember, but think it was with 6BL7s. I'm just not into that any more. Cosmetics, figuring out how to hook it up, etc. But mainly I am very happy with my Sylvania Gold Brand 6SN7WGT and Sylvania 6SN7-WGT drivers. The TS round plate just gives me an excuse to look for something on Ebay when I'm bored :k701smile:

I haven't used the bad boy tubes. I can say that my Sylvania 6SN7W and 6SN7W pairs are pretty close, and I'm not always sure which one I prefer. My TS6SN7-GTB are supposed to be pretty good for the price. I haven't used them for a while, but will try them when I have time.

I will post what I find with12SN7s. Over the years, I have accumulated so many "12volt desirable 6sn7 tubes".

Have a microZotl switching power supper laying around. Standard connectir. Should be easy when new sockets come in

OMG @angpsi, I just received my pair of Sylvania 6SN7W...plugged them along with the GEC 6080 and I have a huge smily at the moment. This setup just sounds absolutely great!

Hahaha! Who would have thought I'd be giving advice on vintage tubes a year ago!... Honor goes to the FA first brigade who originally advised me on these (including @UntilThen), I was just happy—stunned actually—to reap the benefits!

This morning listening to one of my favorite singers, Reina del Cid, with TS6SN7s doing driver duty. Both singer and tubes highly recommended :smile_phones:

Anyone have any experience with this Dap? I want to use it's coax out for a source instead of my pc. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HP9O0ZO/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3N9BPBG2X46RB&colid=24ZD1S4SRVVZ8 Thanks.

Sorry, I don't; but why wouldn't you opt for the Eitr instead? Unless you're also after a standalone player.

On the same note, those of you based in the EU take notice that Sonority Audio is selling the Schiit Eitr on back order for €185 instead of €219. Shipments start on Aug 15-30. http://www.schiit-europe.com/index.php/producten/eitr-usb-to-spdif-converter.html. That's how I got mine.
