It cannot drive harder to driver planars like the HE-500 and HE-6

Hehehe that's why I ordered the Ragnarok. I think it will drive the HE-6..... now to find one 2nd hand and in good condition....

Good idea about the links.

You could consider these as well.

You sure it's Espressivo? I was thinking....

Yes, it's Italian.

Yes, it's Italian.

That's quite a legacy right there!

I also propose you link specifically to pct's fist post on the subject of tube rolling for the Elise.

 

[angpsi]

Plus a disclaimer about using non-sanctioned tubes on the FA amps! I mean, this is consolidated knowledge, isn't it?

Latest but not the last

These are my latest tubes - Chatham 6080wb solid graphite plates. Bought from none other then @oshipao .

I love the tone of these tubes. Strong bass, muscular and he-man. These tubes work out in the gym and it shows.

I love your photo, Oshipao. In short, I love turntable and the sound that only vinyl can create, disregarding whether it's good or bad recordings. It is ironic that digital is trying to emulate vinyl, with all it's flaws. It is the organic sound that we all love.

Anyway, great photo. Very simple, very clean.

Thanks UT,

I am very happy with how it sounds. And I like the ritual of putting on a vinyl and sit back and enjoy the whole album, as it (it was at least) was meant to be. My iPad does however have one of the crappiest cameras

Thanks Oskari for digging up those links. They would be most helpful for reference to Feliks Audio amps and tube rolling in Elise and Euforia. I have participated in everyone of them. I was right there in the first thread when it was closed and locked when the moderators step in. Maybe osteward can provide Expressivo's tube rolling.

Sorry @angpsi I won't set any guidelines here. The only guidelines are set by Feliks Audio in their website. They did specify the recommended tubes, didn't they? It's common sense. If others wish to show their creation here, I wouldn't police it. No disclaimer necessary. I think anyone can read and decide for themselves.

Bravo Steward. This was our missing link. Some tube rolling for Expressivo. It's like making the perfect coffee.

I couldn't agree more with what you say but I won't disrespect your iPad camera.

Yes that ritual of prepping the vinyl before play is half the fun. Others will view it as a chore. Funny isn't it?

I have not personally tested these as I am poor, but I have some info on tubes that fit the Espressivo with adaptors:

EL3N's and C3g's as power tubes
6SN7 as driver tubes
