yes this could be right as they are on the 4th revision (latest revision). i talked to david who confirmed (mine is v4 as well, purchased in june). their first revision used jumpers for tube rolling selection, then they switched to switches for v2, and switched back to jumpers on the v4s (not sure about v3). this all came from david so its official

OKi did not know this because on the net theres only the manual for version 2.0 but version 4 is the same as version 2.0 so then you can use the upgraded power tubes if you want .

Well I bought mine in July so not sure but it definitely says version 4 when I look.

Is it a difficult process to change the jumper settings when changing tubes?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm all new to this.

By the way the 4 is written as is here and not a Roman numeral so it is written 4 instead of IV.

Theres 2 way to do this with a pair of socket adaptors and a simple copper stranded wire 20 gauge or smaller .First jumpers need to be on EF95 SETTING just leave 5 strand on the wire and insert in pin holes 5 and 7 IN THE DRIVER TUBE POSITION ONLY left and right channel and insert tube as usual pin will make contact with wire CUT POWER TO AMP FIRST. heres a picture of the pin holes 5 and 7you need to join with the wire to be able to play the EF91-92 TUBES andheres a picture of the socket adaptors seller is    happydiy998 on ebay not shure if he has any left but email him on is site and he will probably make some for you

What are the stock tubes?

I have been reading people having ge5654 tubes as stock but my amp which is version 4 has sylvania 5654?

Are they the same tubes as the ge5654?

Same type with subtle differences maybe . For example i had a pair of 6AV6 westinghouse tubes i dropped one and it broke I also had a pair of RCA 6AV6 and one tube doest work anymore so right now i am using 1 RCA and 1 Westinghouse 6AV6 on my amp and it sounds great because if they are differences between the 2 tubes there minor in this case anyway

I want to buy my first tubes after having the stock tubes now since I bought the ld mk iii a month ago.


Any recommendations for music and movies?


I use my amp for both my beyerdynamic dt880s and my Bose companion 20 speakers.


Can any tubes drive active speakers well or are they only suited to headphones?

There's the voshkod 6zh1p-ev tubes which are from the e95 family. So if you purchased them they are from the same family as the stock ld mk3. So all you have to do is replace them and don't have to bridge or perform any changes. They have clear and transparent treble, nice bass for my senns and vocals are magnificent. Big soundstage aswell.

You can purchase different tubes from here.

Damn, my MKIII is buzzing when tubes heat up.   When I turn it on, there are only a couple of rly silent clicks, but its quiet. After 15-20 mins though, I heard buzzing trough headphones. On both channels equally. Anyone had a similar problem?

What headphone are you using? And what dac?

Cheers for that.

I thought tubes can be had for around $10, do they not seem a bit expensive at over $50 shipped?

Or is that what they go for?

Tubes i like alot are the 6AV6 EF91-92 SETTING but you have to cut-off 2 pins for them to work and you put electrical tape over where the pins use to be so theres no contact those tubes sound very good i got 6 pairs of those i guess you can say i like em when your ready for those tell me i have pictures how to do the mod its childplay and they sound great you can get the RCA 6AV6 at ESRC in the USA 5 tubes for $16.00 regarding shipping TUBEROOM international shipping is approximatly $10.00 and at ESRC to Canada it was $8.50 for 5 tubes but you can buy up to 10 tubes for same shipping price i think anyways you will have to email him for total and shipping cost .

IF your interested in a pair of socket converter  ef-95 to EF 92 the guy in China has some they are $38.00 shipping included . The only thing you have to do is put the jumpers in your amp on the EF92 SETTING but the sockets on the amp and you put your EF95 tubes in the sockets so if you want to listen to EF-92 tubes you just remove sockets  no more jumpers to change heres the link    http://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-EF95-EF91-92-Vacuum-tube-adapter-socket-converter-/290958665979?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item43be7ce8fb       By the way if you are interested  the guy only has a pair left .
