I wish we have comparisons between Telemachus and DNA Stratus or Stellaris but judging from the various impressions it seems that DNA house sound is very different anyway... seems to lean more towards a classical tube sound perhaps? Not necessarily warm or mushy but more gentle in general.

I'm more interested in a comparison between Telemachus and Feliks Audio Envy, the latter getting solid traction in the recent CanJam SoCal 2022. Specifically I would like to hear Susvara through those 2 amps.

@UntilThen are you planning on getting the new ZMF Caldera? Very curious to hear how they'll sound with Odyssey.

The thought is there but what happens to 2023 remains to be seen. Susvara has barely been through the honeymoon period and frankly I'm at the end with this headphone - my ears says so. Especially when powered by Odyssey. If Odyssey had gone to CanJam SoCal 2022, there will be a riot. Never mind the big names there.

When I had He1000se and LCD4, I spend most times with He1000se so I know where my preferred sound signature lies. Before that Verite Open gave way to He1000se too.

Moving on from He1000se to Susvara has been a big jump. Susvara is a pleasure machine when amped by Odyssey. I don't know if Telemachus would do better. Will have to find out !

I'm intrigued by the Elrogs. Anyone who has them and moved on(up?) from EML care to share impressions? I'm interested in trying out a second higher-end tube complement.

@paradoxper is the best person to give you the impressions

And I am interested in how they compare to the best of the NOS rectifiers.

Corrected.

I think they are talking about 300b tubes.

EML are a little more dry and lean where the Elrog is fuller than all 300B but not of commission, they are faster, tighter and better extended top to bottom.
They do not sound like the 300B more like a beef 45 and they are the must with planar pairing.

Speaking of tubes. I actually bought some for my upcoming Telemachus I'm building for myself

First I got these WE300B's. It's going to be interesting to hear the difference between these and the Gold Lions I got. Don't expect a detailed review of these tubes as I'm terrible at that kind of stuff lol. Definitely the nicest packed tubes I ever got that's for sure.






I also got these rectifiers. Mullard GZ37, RCA 5R4GY, Brimar GZ32 and Brimar 5V4. The 5V4 is really not recommended in Telemachus as the maximum voltage allowed is surpassed but I'm gonna try it out. As I said, NOT recommended though!
I'm looking forward to playing with these!

@SonicTrance ; how long is the queue for your amp?

For sure those WE 300Bs are beautiful.

However, I don't think Brimar ever made the GZ32. My best guess is yours is Russian.

Yeah those WE 300B's are gorgeous looking tubes!

 

[alvin sawdust]

Thought the GZ32 is a no no in the Tele?

Those RCA 5R4GY's are some of my favorite "budget" rectifiers. I think I paid $35 USD for my single bottom getter and $60 USD for my dual-bottom getter. Hope you like them!
