Just had my first tube go on me after two years of tube rolling. Red flashing followed by a load of loud crackling. It was a GU50 to, such a strong looking tube. Like a daft bugger I tried it once more after removing and replacing it but same results again. Luckily having replaced the GU50 with a spare all seems to be fine both with Euforia and my precious HD800's. Still sounds marvelous.

I'm happy your Euforia and HD800 survived. I had an EL39 fail on me in December. No loud popping, but a brief crackling before the channel cut out. I know the chances of a tube taking out a driver as it dies is low, but that did scare me!

Anyone knows why on the website the Anniversary Edition is missing? After all it is a different product.

barontan2416, tried the Gu50 powers and Ts 7581's in driver, sounds great, going to try a pair of KT88 and Gu50's with the ts7581 next. Also may try a pair of 7581 and Gu 50 power with the 7581 for driver.

So many combinations, KT88's alongside GU50's and driven by 7581's is certainly an excellent one.


Hope you enjoy.

For a better answer you would have to contact Lukasz. Perhaps software problem, no way to tell with out asking him or Micheal. If I remember, I will ask him, was going to contact him anyways about the 2A3 amp.

Still no sign of adapters I ordered, so went back to special adapters and tubes created by CJ. EL38's drivers. Excellent. Listening to Braveheart, seven in the morning I am sure my neighbors love this to wake up to .Powerful bass. Very solid performers. So far the tubes as drivers for the GU50 are the KT77, which were one of my favorites before this,and not that it was bad, just not as good. The GU 50 seem to perform very well with most tubes I have used with them.

Many thanks, so the mistery has been clarified. Overwhelming demand seems to mean that a lot of people are ordering it, despite the price.

Would seem to be so. Mine is scheduled to be manufactured end of this month

Hi all. Hope you are all doing well. A tube EL32 came in today and I noticed it's having static issues. It sounds like it's having trouble. Does the static go away with burn in? It's like constant tapping noise.

Edit: I've seated it properly and the noise is not as prominent but still seems to linger.

Edit2: Seems like there is some corrosion on the top anode.

I noticed that Levi said that Bendix 6080 / EL38 combo goes over voltage. Is there a resource I can go to check the current draw of the tubes? Last thing I want to do is to go over. Are all 6080's the same current draw? Right now I'm warming up the Bendix 6080 / EL32, is this within the current draw?

Thanks for that @barontan2418. I simply cannot wait to get a pair of good EL32's. My first impressions of them is that it opened up the soundstage by pushing back the mid's. It sounded reminiscent of my Yulong A18, although I believe the Yulong A18 has a deeper soundstage, the EL32's were not bad, at all! It added a different characteristic, which caught me by surprise, I didn't think the drivers would change the sound that much, but I was much impressed! Everything was mellower, deeper, weightier, with good bass extension coupled a sweeter, more softer tone, which makes it awesome for longer listening sessions. I hear they pair well with EL38's, can't wait to try them out!

Hopefully I can get some impressions between the Euforia with the EL32 tubes and my Yulong A18, because it's very similar indeed!
