After Deceneu808 posted his pic it inspired me to give mine another airing and I’m thoroughly enjoying the music paired with these new to me Tungsol’s. These are GEC’s curved base. Again not that it makes any difference as I have mixed and matched the curve with the straight, the cv1834 with the cv2523 and there is not a jot of difference with internals or SQ. But people will seek out the curve base because I guess they are not so numerous? And they look rather nice! Doh that was me 😀.

Every time I see a Felix Audio amp, I want to buy a Felix Audio amp.

Very attractive setup. I'm sure this would play well with my Verite...

What headphones are you driving with this amplifier?

I have the Feliks Euforia and I use them with ZMF Verite’s, both open and closed and Focal Utopias.

The Euphoria pairs very well with ZMFs. Absolutely love it.

OTL with warm tubes + warm headphone = romantic listening 🔥🎧

I've been having a sort out in the dining room today in one of the sideboard draws under some table cloths I found 10 tubes all wrapped up in bubble wrap which I had forgotten were there!

5 x Tungsol 6as7g :ksc75smile::ksc75smile::ksc75smile::ksc75smile::ksc75smile:
&
5 x Tungsol 5998 :ksc75smile::ksc75smile::ksc75smile::ksc75smile::ksc75smile:

They have probably been there at least 10 years lol.

Holy cow! If you're going to 'forget' about some tubes, try GE's next time and send me those Tung Sols. :smile: :smile:

Have listened to Dave and it is a great DAC paired with Simaudio Moon Neo 430 amplifier & Utopia HP . Liked the Natural sound, layering, resolution, neutral tone and mainly the dynamics of brining out different instruments to slap your face. But it is bit pricey :frowning2: can anyone provide alternate DAC recommendations to Dave with a better price point for EDM / Pop music ?

And interestingly, their stock of 28 (I believe they had 28) 5998s has been bought fully by someone. Probably an amp company stocking up?

https://www.langrex.co.uk/products/5998-6as7g-jan-tung-sol-nos-valve-tube/

This was at 28 or so when JTbbb posted about it being available. Now zero.

(not interested to buy myself, too many 5998s already)

Significantly better return I suspect than leaving your money in the bank for a few years.
