I have always used 2 C3g. Not sure if running just one will be okay. Perhaps @2359glenn can clarify. My OTL cannot use 6SN7 IIRC.

Ah ha... looks like our amps will be different.... base on this...

Two C3g sockets plus 6.3>12.6>25.2 volt switch for the SN7 socket you can use 6SN7 , 12SN7/B36/FDD20 with adapter
and the 25SN7/1633 or the 13D1 that is a 25SN7.

That seems to me that mine will have 2 C3G socket plus one socket for SN7 with a switch for 6.3 > 12.6 > 25.2 volt. So that means I either use the C3G or the SN7 but not together.

@2359glenn can you enlighten me. Thanks.

If using the C3g you have to use 2 one for each channel.
Cannot use the SN7 and C3g together one or the other
A 6SN7 is a dual triode and will do both left and right.

Do you want to have HEXFRED SS rectifiers or 42EC4/PY500 rectifier tubes?

Yours will have more flexibility. I am glad I didn't have more choices to roll more tubes. My GEC 6AS7's, 7236s, and 6BX7"s are all what I alternate right now. Oh, sometimes the Bendix 6080 Graphite plates too.

This is quite the surprise. I'm happy I ordered an Euforia last month which I'm still waiting for.

I wonder if Feliks Audio will live to regret this. Can they justify this price increase out of nowhere? It's substantial at close to $1,000 for the Euforia with not particularly major changes.

At the current price I would save a little and buy the ZDS, and this is from someone who would have to pay 20% VAT and shipping on top for the ZDS too. I wonder if people outside Europe will even bother with FA anymore.

Perhaps that's the idea behind this. Focus on Europe as ordering from the USA results in similar prices after VAT and shipping have been accounted for. People in North America have a wide selection of tube amps to choose from anyway.

Hi sotto123...sad news indeed re. F-A's unfortunate decision to raise prices by such an unexpected amount, but one they haven't taken lightly and for reasons expanded on more over at the Euforia thread.

Keeping everything in-house will surely put them in a more difficult position compared to those manufacturers taking advantage of cheaper production costs in such as China, but I for one admire them for doing so. Only time will tell if such strategies allow a company to survive in this cut-throat world of commerce, and I wish them all the very best of luck in this unenviable position.

IMPORTANT NEWS!!!...For some, however, the blow will be softened somewhat, as the new prices will be different for those outside Europe...ie. non-EU countries will be exempt from the 23% VAT charge.

ps. May I please remind folks this thread is meant to be for FELIKS AUDIO TUBE AMPS....thanks...

Cheers to all watching UT's audio odyssey.

OMG UT,

I never thought I could compete with you, but I have gone yo a speaker setup too. (Sort of)

Went to my audio guy and we made a deal.

I'm doing a layaway.

6 months
Rogue Altlas Magnum
Focal 1037bes (store demos)

Those speakers sounded so good in his room!!
He said 100 watts of tube power will make them sing.

Anyways

Elise coming home with Hegel for headphone use.

LOL Aq. Good on you !!! What tubes did you get with the Rogue Atlas? KT120? Very nice amp and speakers. !!!

Are these the ones?

 

[aqsw]

Yes 120s, same tubes as I have in my dac. They are monsters.

 

[aqsw]

The amp is cheap. Those speakers are the damage.

KT120 are monsters but I was going to buy eight Tung Sol KT150 for my PL. That's the biggest monsters and it will set me back by $800. Looks like it will have to wait.

Well those speakers looks really nice. You don't need Focal Utopia now.

 

[aqsw]

Actually, I won't get much time with the iamp and speakers. I just want it. Most of my listening is still headphone.
My son loves it. I think he wants me to croak now, so he can put it in his house..I still might get the Utooias ifIcan get rid of the T1s and the elears.
Yea 8x 150 s is alot, but that PL is a beauty.

 

[aqsw]

Just downsized big time. Kids are gone.

Have a great man cave, but I'm going to have to put about 15 grand into soundproofing .

Very nice. Room treatment is important. Kids gone is important too. My son just came home to visit me and was shocked to see the PL with so many tubes. I agree. Much as I like speakers, I still love headphones.
