  I finally got the guts to try another 9 pin adapter it's annoying noisy on LD 1+ but it's  quiet on LD MK III so here it is with 12AU7.
 

I like the supercharged alcool burning one on the left lol

Hi Guys,
 
I Love my Little Dot MkIII so much that I just just bought a used Raysonic SP120.
Anyone have any thoughts or information on this piece of tube Nirvana?  
I heard it, it totally blew me away so I bought it. (and it wasn't for sale)   LMAO!!!
Has Better Depth and Resolution than my Mark Levinson Gear!
Need to talk to my Tech to see if he can add a Headphone output.
Seriously.... this amp almost brought me to tears and I have had a Lot of High End Stuff.
Awaiting replies from the Collective.
 
Steve.

  Not here. i have a pair of 6H30PI Electro Harmonix power tubes on and compared to a 6DJ8 looks the same 

 
I have those too, I'll try them out to compare anyway with the octals, the 6N6P-IR are definitely brighter though.

Hi tvrguy,
 
Hey, you went from a TVR 2500 to a Nissan GT-R! Don't know if it is fair to compare a $200 amp to a $2500 amp.
 
Truth is, I have not heard of this Canadian designed, made in China amp before, but it gets glowing reviews - enjoy!

I see that your socket is setup for 12AU7. But if you can reconfigure it for 6DJ8, then I recommend an Amperex Orange Globe ECC88 from the late sixties.

They are very good! Very musical, warm, detailed, extended, and impactful!
 
Also check out the Voskhod 6n23p the earlier then better (I have a 75, 77 and 78) and the 75 sounds more detailed then the other two. They are more neutral side of warm, have decent sound staging, imaging and are more extended then the Amperex OG's... very different but equally good.
 
The Mullard 6DJ8 / ECC88 has a more tradition liquid tube sound... it sacrifices some extension and detailed BUT has a pretty gorgeous sound with bright material/cans

That is for 6DJ8
