I'm back to using the Telefunken tubes EL11 and EL12 spez with 5U4G rectifier. In UL mode, driving my speakers or Susvara. Amp is cooler with these tubes but amazing clarity and tone. Has to be one of the best combo in Odyssey. Source is my Pioneer sacd player, playing Eagles Hell Freezes Over JVC xrcd2 album.

See the volume knob is only there driving Susvara. Lots more headroom.

That is the same I keep it with HE-6SE if on 8 ohm winding. So I must assume ours have similar output power...

Beautiful tubes!

I think these were one of the first you listed to in the amp?

It's the same for me with the KT170s

Yes our amps have similar power. The Psvane KT88 Tii were the first power tubes to be used because I haven't received my 5U4G rectifier yet, which is required for the EL12 spez.

This was taken on 13th August 2021, the first day I received Odyssey. It has been a love affair since then. I've never love anything this much in head-fi.

It's still Odyssey.

I'm having an epiphany listening to this album with Pioneer sacd player > Odyssey > Susvara.

Yep, I do the same with her album "Another Country".

Agree - a vastly better album

I love the version of "O Sole Mio", her voice is so thick and smokey .

I feel you, listening the 24bit/192 kHz version on Qobuz. So goooood.

A big box arrive today. Much bigger than the KT88 boxes. What can it be?

A pair of 300b tubes. Didn't intend to buy it at this time but a friend was selling off his very low hours quad which he used in his WA234, for cheap.

Ooh… a quad? I know that WE tubes are known for their longevity but I’ve never heard anything about the other brands.

Nah I bought a pair only. Start off at the bottom and work my way up.
