Maybe we can also get a Rag to drive those He-6s.

I have a wide array of 6SN7s (sadly sold the top rated ones when I  sold my HA-2 a decade ago) and 12au7 variants I can bring if you guys want to tube roll. LMK.

That would be great! I have a 6SN7 adapter for my Project Ember. It would be fun to tube roll.

I just heard back from Schiit.
 
"We are not able to loan gear for meets at this time. That may change in the future."
 
Kind of surprised me, but I bet they get a program soon now that Rag and Yggy are out. It can't be too easy to sell $2k equipment without having a way for people to hear them first.

I just got the OK from HiFiMan to bring the HE1000's to the meet.

And Trevor from Norne Audio has agreed to send us one of his custom cables for the HE1000.

 

[funch]

Excellent! Which cable is it?

Which one you want? Let me know and I will ask him if he has it in stock. I believe its a new copper cable that he is introducing.

Last time I checked their site, there was only one listed to work with the HE. Now there's three. The Solv appears to be their best one, but whatever.

Good news, guys!

Does anybody have any 12AT7 /ECC81 tubes?

 

[funch]

I have 12AU7's.

 

[gurus]

I too have have tons of 12AU7 but as per the manufacturer cannot use any other tubes unless it's a direct replacement for 12AT7.
 
I will go ahead and try to get a pair of Sylvania 6201 Gold brand for some tube rolling besides the stock. Failing that we can try to tube roll the 6sn7. I have some RCA VT231 and GP Audio CV181 beside a slew of others.

I can bring a pair of Tung Sol Round Plate 6SN7's and a pair of British Mullard ECC35 (6SL7GT) short brown base. I don't have enough information to know if the ECC35 can be rolled in the MicroZotl. Certainly very nice for the Balancing Act.

 

[balderon]

Does anyone have tubes to test? I could bring a Hickok 539C.

 

[gurus]

That would be great. I sure would like to check out the tubes I have.
