A part of her, anyway...

But actually, my Elrog 5U4G rectifiers finally arrived!







These things are seriously no joke. They have easily replaced my beloved KR-Audio 5U4G Riccardo Kron Anniversary Editions. By far.

I said what I said.

WOW, absolutely stunning!

Silver Woo Audio and bright light Elrog is a beautiful combination.
Oh man, you are literally making me just buy the ELROG now!
I was thinking what headphone next and now................... E.L.R.O.G!!!

 

[protoss]

I am literally blown away by the lights!!

I am interested.
Can the Elrog 5U4G or ER274B work with my Eddie? Adapters?

I believe the 5U4G will work in place of the 5AR4 but I am not 100% positive. I think an email to them asking the question would be best. There are others here with more experience than me with their amps and tolerance for other tubes.

Update*
@ColSaulTigh
Talked with Craig.

"The 5U4G is a 3 amp tube there is only 2 amps available. The 274B is a 2 Amp tube, but may arch at turn on, it also has a high plate resistance and the amp will play with less power."

So, Elrog rectifiers are a no-no with the Eddie. Owell

He also mention that rectifiers make the least difference and just focus on the 300B tubes

 

[dadracer2]

Does anyone know what brand of 6SN7 that Thomas Mayer uses in some of his 300B amps?

 

[nwavesailor]

The Elrog's paired with the NU 6F8G are another good combination in the Envy.
I need to compare it to the TSRP 6F8G but both sounded really nice.

 

[WillieB]

Yeah, not worth screwing up the octal sockets on the Envy.
I have done well with the quality of the Tube Monger socket savers and ordered a pair.

I'm glad you mentioned this. I was looking for a set of savers for one of my amps and never knew any were available from Tube Monger. I have bough quite a few tubes there. Anyway, looks like they are supplied by Pulse directly now and look excellent. I have a set on the way. Thanks!

Regardless of the sound, those are spectacular! Good to hear that they live up to their looks.

Ultrasonic Studios

This company has 7 tube amplifiers. Trying to catch upto Woo Audio
1 300B amp and have custom builds orders.
Their motto is to use only good parts in their amps.

Thanks for highlighting Ultrasonic Studios. Odyssey is my greenfield project with Tomas to create a SET old school amp using the best parts of Sowter transformers, Mundorf caps and Vishay resistors, Nichicon, etc. The amp can use a variety of power tubes such as KT150, KT88, KT66, EL34, 6550, 6L6GC, EL156, EL12 spez, etc and for drivers the sky's the limit - 6SN7, 6SL7, 12au7, 12at7, 12ax7.

15w in triode mode and 20w in UL. Drives Susvara with ease and supremely. It's also a speaker amp.

Beautiful amplifier and picture.

Beautiful amplifier and picture.

Thanks. For the shot, I darken the room and held the iPhone 11 Pro Max in my hands as steady as I could. Flash off and let the Apple do it's job. Professional photographers will get better results but I'm just a novice snapper.

 

[paradoxper]

Btw, what are the sonic differences between the Elrog 300Bs and the -Mo variant?

The ER has more midrange sweetness that extends through the treble. Mo is more exacting, more muscular and edged (as much as 300B can attain).

Correct. I know @paradoxper is trying to work some of his connections...I bet if demand pressure is strong enough, he might be tempted to release a "Head-Fi" edition.

Hmmm.....

I have a pair coming. I am also running directly into timing issue with the Manley, I need time off work. LOL

How did you manage that sorcerey?

 

[paradoxper]

How did you manage that sorcerey?

A kind friend from the 2 channel world has a lifetime supply so to speak.

@paradoxper
So you going to have all three 300B Elrogs? That some legendary schiit.

Hopefully, a full detail impression on the TM and comparison against each other.
