  The Ember's "home" is at Garage1217. I can still return it because I just got it a couple weeks ago.

Got it!

Best of luck with your sale, joespride. At that offering price, it should be gone in no time.
 
Don't know that there is a Starlight / Sunrise forum, but I hope you continue to post here with your tube impressions and adventures!

The Wife is pushing me to hang on to it (she's a good gal)....................Setting here listening to the Visseaux for the first time in a week or more Sounds GREAT, Though better they are not night and day better to my old Ears ( staying here )

 

[joespride]

Yep felt really bad about giving up the ember and with the wifes support I have pulled the offer,  Ember will be staying here with me

Does she want you to keep it due to the LED under the tube?  My girlfriend and her friends just love the look of the Ember (I have the clear top)

 LED color is pink

In the entire history of my audio addiction, my wife has never insisted I not sell something. You should send this story to Jeremy.

So she is 'letting' you keep the Ember AND Starlight as well as 3 pairs of Visseaux and 2 (?I lost count w/o a scorecard) Brimars............
If so, would you have her contact my bride?
 
I assume the Starlight also plays well with the Visseaux 6J5G's?

While I consider my Visseaux 6J5G a pretty balance tube and jack of all trades, these fivre 6C5G takes the 6J5G house sound into fun side. The best 400i planar bass I've heard out of these tubes. Bass is bigger and visceral (than the Vs), mids is lush warm and lovely sounding, details and clarity are pretty amazing. The treble seems a bit rolled off than the Vs. Soundstage is about the same with the typical 6J5, and comparable to the Vs big expansive soundstage with lots of realistic space.
 
Best of all, it is HUMPHREY without a cage

Yea, Audio has been my 1 vice over the years and I would guess she accepts that above all the other available vices out there like Harley's,Cars, Drinking, womanizing, drugs etc... etc... etc...
 
At least with the tubes I should be able to recoup most of my $$$ I was never able to say that with the Harleys any custom work on those was pretty much lost
