I just ordered the EF92 tubes. Do I need to open the case to put on the jumpers? I can only see the gain switches from the holes.

look through the other holes. they are not in the same location as the gain switches..
you don;t need to open up the case to put on/ take off jumpers

Just wanted to comment on this amp which I just received today and am currently burning it in with stock tubes. I have it paired with the LD DAC 1 and AKG K701's.
I have the switches set for the second highest gain setting and get plenty of volume at the 10 oclock position or 30 on the dial. Out of the box sounds really nice and the AKG's still have low hours on them. Can't wait to see how things improve with some time!

Which of these two sets of 6H30Pi power tubes do you think I should get? Has anyone tried the Electro-Harmonix 6H30Pi Gold Pin? The price is pretty close...

Electro-Harmonix 6H30Pi Gold

Sovtek 6H30PI

Hipcat,

Did you consider the Electro-Harmonix when you purchased your Sovteks?

Thanks.

So i found the jumpers section, there are 3 pins however the jumper's size only cover two pins. Which pins do I cover to make the selection?

On mine you cover two of the three pins for the EF95 and then move them over one pin to cover the two pins for the EF92/91. It should have the pcb lettered with EF92 to show which pins need to be covered for those tubes....at least mine does..

Right know I'm listening to Van Morrison's Gloria and they bass is nice and tight.

Glad someone else is enjoying them as much as I do. You can FEEL the kick drum with these. Really a nice tube. I bought more than i need so if anyone needs a few I have some available.

I'm curious about this as well as I would like to order some of the 6H30Pi power tubes, but was hoping to find some at a lower price. 30$ per tube seems a bit pricy to me?

Go for it. You will be happy

When I brought the Sovtec's they were out of the Electro-Harmonix not sure what I would have done if they had them in. But I have no regrets about the Sovtec's they sound great!
Has anyone tried the Sovtec Super Tube for 160 each? Can't beleive they would make a big enough difference for the cost but if they did......Hmmmm

Thanks for the information!

Way too many pages...my eyes are going buggy.
Can anyone recommend a good set of tubes for my LD MK III which I have been using stock for 6 months.
I'd like to not play around with jumpers if at all possible...just plug and play.
I'd like deeper and tighter bass with not major changes elsewhere.
Thanks
