Thanks for everyone's input - this thread should get interesting as these units start shipping.
For those who have rolled their tubes has it addressed some of the hum that several initially mentioned?
Also, who is a good source for the Tung-Sol 6SD7GT - I also am new at this tube rolling thing and can't seem to find them online [maybe I am not searching for it properly????]
Greeni/Raul - what headphones are you using?
Thanks all.
Hi Monday
I am using mainly the Sony MDR 7506 with the amp which I found hum least and sound tightest. The other phones I have on hand are more expensive than 7506 but they are all very efficient and they hum with the amp, plus they do not sound as tight.
I found that the hum seem to have been reduced after some use. It is taking a longer time for run-in because the amp runs hot and I am weary of letting it run-in un-attended. You certainly cannot file a claim in China with such hazards. Also my Freudian superego is taking a toll on me and making me feel guilty of being not environmentally friendly in generating those fleeting watts.
