A cording to the tubes you roll. You can get high quality 25SN7s for $4 US.
Or 7N7 and 14N7 Sylvania cheep compared to the same Sylvania 6SN7.

Can these tubes be used with the Elise safely, Glenn?

No kidding, the RCA 1633 smoked glass is a steal at that price.

I think I am done with tube rolling. I can't believe I got so deep in it with Elise and Euforia. With all that I spend on my tubes (plus adapters !!!), I could probably get a good tube amp.

So none of the FA amps to which this thread is devoted are "good"?????

You can safely use 7N7 with adapters. I don't know about the other tubes.

I'm not fond of using adapters if I can help it.

There will be different degrees of goodness. A Honda Accord is a good car. That doesn't mean there's no better.

Indeed! It's the tube rolling that gets to the wallet...the amps are just a prelude to it..

Indeed.

You should contact Feliks Audio regarding any tubes you're not sure about.

14N7 is 12.6 volts and 0.3 amp. Definitely cannot use in Elise. Unless you want to use external power supply, like FDD20 of long ago.

Similarly 12sn7 is 13 volts. So no go.

Elise drivers are suitable for 6.3 volts.

For any layman, it's dangerous to seek tubes that are not in Feliks Audio recommended tubes. There are still economical 6sn7 tubes. It's the better power tubes that are expensive.

Why must this guy tempt me? Does he not know I have a HD800 serial number #45699 ?

This is from the DNA Stratus thread....

As someone previously said if you have the Stratus you owe it to yourself to get the HD800. I never thought I would buy a headphone twice but I'm glad I did with the HD800. I'm not sure if it's the P5, the better tubes or cables but the HD800 sounds like a real masterpiece now with the single plate tubes. This time I'm also going to hardwire them.

Ross, put on your most bad ass tubes and listen to this loud.

Didn't know you listened to Muse and its ilk Listening with 4X EL3N as powers with the pair of Raytheon 6SN7s you sent with the final package all with the T1. Not enough heaviiosity but biting guitars aplenty! Not my preferred type of music though but listenable

 

[UntilThen]

I don't listen to Muse until I found it on my son's Fiio X5. He left that behind and there's a long playlist there. So now I'm also listening to Red Hot Chilli Peppers and of course John Mayer.

Try using 6 x EL3N. Tell me what you think.

Sound is much nicer through the HD600 - bass like there's no tomorrow! RHCP is good
