Best laid plans and all that. As they say, plans often got awol after first contact. In this instance, first contact with my Feliks dealer and the Eurforia AE ended up as an Oak Envy! Just waiting on a delivery date… I was told it’ll be about 5 weeks or so! Can’t wait

Ooh, there’s going to be some Envious people here . Looking forward to some pics and thoughts when you get it.

6080 tubes are good replacements. Usually not too expensive.

Thank you so much!

6080’s recommended by Magol79 are indeed a step up from the original tubes at reasonable prices, but what are considered the best 6080’s are pricey, like the Bendix Graphite Plates. You could of course search out Tungsol 5998’s or WE421a’s, which are generally considered to be up with the best. These are also pricey!

This might be a dumb question, but can you put the 6080 family in the driver position, and 6SN7 in as powers?

No, I don't think so. They may fit, but I think they are wired differently. They also have different amplification factors, so that could cause bad sound.

With the proper adaptors you can use many different kind of tubes. Like EL34, KT88, EL3N etc.

I’ve got the KT family adapters already, and the interesting thing is you can use the KT family in both power and driver position. No idea how it works though so wondering if some of the old timers have tried it @connieflyer, @hypnos1 @incredulousity

Feel free to PM for any specific questions as I understand perusing the entire thread would be a chore! I'll try to help if I can.

I have used the KT77, as drivers,kt66 ,kt88 as powers also kt66 as drivers with kt88 as powers. Used these in both Elise and Euforia with good results

Hey guys
Just rolled some nos ecc31 tubes with the correct adapters and the sound is horrible and grainy! I have ecc32 tubes that sound nothing like this.

I wonder if the adapters are dodgy? Or if the tubes need a little while to settle down?

Got a new friend to pair with my Euforia today! Upgraded from the Bifrost 2. Still putting it through its paces and only have a couple hours with it but I'm wowed by what I'm hearing so far. One thing that's been very helpful is the upgraded galvanized USB port. My Euforia had been picking up noise and I became convinced it was due to being hooked up to my gaming PC. Low and behold, it's dead silent now. Works great!

Hearing even more micro details than with the Bifrost 2 and a much more natural sound that sounds truer to the source. Can't wait to log many more hours with this combo!

That’s quite the upgrade. Pairs well with Euforia AE?

Also, great keyboard!

Thank ya sir! It pairs very, very well with the Euforia. Combo has really opened everything up even more than it had been previously, micro details are a lot more apparent and it sounds like I'm just hearing my Euforia with no added coloration (other than the coloration that the tubes add of course ). Great first impressions!
