Looking for tube rolling on MK2.
Which tubes sounds good on hd650? I am looking for warm sounding and bright to get rid of the Sennheiser 'Veil'.
Thanks
I kind of expected you were going to get different answers, but to me, it almost sounds like you were directly describing the Voskhod 6ZH1P-EV. I would recommend getting ones with the OTK1 and military diamond/rhombus stamp. A seller I'd strongly recommend is Ebay user
glaz_25. It might take a while to ship but he has great quality tubes and provides excellent care of your order. The only thing is, nothing can really help the "veil" on the 650's, even EQ, as it's less a veil as it is the higher frequencies just somehow squashed/suppressed. That along with more bloated bass/lower mids and a more limited soundstage (due to the differences in the reproduction of the treble) is precisely why I prefer the HD 600's (which ironically has the opposite problem where even though smooth, the upper frequencies can get quite overbearing with extended listening).
^If anyone is looking for Voskhod tubes, I would definitely recommend this seller.^
One seller I definitely wouldn't recommend is
Tubes Unlimited at nosvacuumtubes.net, especially for the Voskhods.
Do not buy from there! He sells some other brand, AEL, and were NOT manufactured at the Voskhod factory (claiming that they actually were), and is the most pretentious, arrogant, pointlessly prideful, know-nothing "business owner" - the biggest deluded nobody I've come across in a long time. I'm the last person to typically label someone as arrogant, but if that person exists, it would definitely be him. If there are any problems, he's the last person you'd want to deal with - just perhaps a warning for future buyers.
