Curious how you found the 5692's to stack up with some of your favorites?Hello Scottsheilds,
Yes those PSVanes that come with the AE are pretty good and could easily be lived with, but what’s the point of a tube amp if you don’t do a bit of rolling . It’s great fun researching, you can change the sound signature to suit, bizarrely they are nice to own, and what’s wrong with a bit of retail therapy!
To answer your question I have not come across any drivers I have disliked, but some that have stood out have been the Ken-Rads, Melz 1578 and 7W’s. Currently I have the Mullard brown base ecc32’s in, and I don’t see these being swapped out anytime soon. Finally I have a pair of Valvo black glass EL11’s with mesh plates which I acquired from a friend l have made from this site, which are very good, but these have to be adapted to fit 6sn7.
Guys, I found the perfect song for Euforia.
Later I realised they play Led Zeppelin, they have guitars and drums. And yes, comments to the video are top class.
I am a fan! At least until my girlfriend finds out. LOL.
I thought one or both of them were your girlfriend!
By "forward" do you mean a bit bright? If so I found them to be yes. I just recently swapped them for a NOS part of CBS 5692's and noticed they were smoother and a bit more relaxed than the PSVanes. I fell like the soundstage and imagining may also be just slightly better. The PSVanes are good however from what I can tell but I've not rolled many others yet.Are the stock Psvane somewhat forward even with the Empyrean or it's my fantasy?

Also I'm using Tung Sol 5998 power tubes.
Ehrlich gesagt finde ich Röhren Abstimmung vielmehr für Dynamische treiber abgestimmt.
Für planare Hörer wie mein Lcd 2c kommt nicht gerade Feeling auf wie auf meinem Little Dot 1+ mit echt gute Röhren oder was am Transitor möglich wäre.Es schimmert mal was durch wo ich denke oh cool und dann war es das.
Ob es mit Crossfeed besser wird auf Planare mit den Serien röhren?
I don't like crossfeed.
This is a good amp for planars.
It just needs some extra fine tuning at least for my tastes.
Yes they sound somewhat bright for example at higher soprano notes.
I have swapped the power tubes for 6080w and things got better but now I think the drivers are causing the issue.
