Adapters for EL11 Valvo's you may already have? However EL39 adapters are not available through ebay but I believe Deyan can make them if required. Adapters for EL38 were and probably still are available on ebay or again Deyan. The black mesh plate Valvo EL11's date back to 1939/early 40's and are super rare. Regular Valvo EL11's are also very good but not quite up to the old mesh plate version.
Hey guys,
I've always been an early adaptor on Feliks.
I own #27 Elise and
#7 Euphoria.
I am really interested in the Envy. As I run two systems, one amp must go.
What do you think is a fair price (USD) for these amps. They are both in excellent condition. I take very good care of my gear.
These are the 1st edition of both models, as per the serial # .
I have HA-2SF, Phonitor X, GSX Mini, and Euforia AE. It sounds great with all of them. I feel that these phones always need EQ, regardless of the amp, but other than that, they are outstanding.
HD800S goes great with the amps suggested above. Whichever amp you go for, I think that the installation of British tubes will take you to your “warm, rich and gooyey sound” you are after.
Hello,
I understand what you mean about using the in-house tubes.
If you are using them, replace them with warmer and richer tubes.
Then you do not need an Eq.
The 6AS7G tubes mask the sound and the Ps vane are neutral but cold and a bit unmusical.
It is always a bit difficult to give a recommendation because of the subjectivity of each individual.
And a question of money in the end what is willing to spend.
Following this discussion, I looked through my tube collection, and found a pair of tubes I used with Elise, but have not tried since. Put them in and was very pleasantly surpriesed. Far better than the stock 6as7's that I no longer use at all. With the AE amp and stock driver tubes the Thompson CF 6080WA tubes really warm the amp up. If you have these give them a try. The Thompson's were made in France, and I don't know the availability now. I had one of the early Elise's and remember that the 6080 tube was better, and the WA version preferred.
