Ah, you're killing me! LOL "this one is twice as good as that one which is twice as good as the other..." Please, no offense intended But I did laugh a bit! Let's not forget that the Elise costs min 700 vs 300 for an Ember, and runs 4 tubes vs the 1. I see the Ember as a hobbyist product, the ultimate tube roller. But if you want the best sound possible and have the money, well, the sky is the limit. I wonder how many x better the Liquid Tungsten/ HE1000 combo I listened to at CanJam is? Again, no offense, but you knew this post was coming We will certainly miss your insights into the Ember here though, you really helped us push our Embers to the limit.

I changed the room and the problem went away. Now I have to see what in original room is causing this.

Yeah I sort of expected something like that. Well the Elise competes favorably with amps all the way up to the $2400 range, seems to be an end-game for all who have gotten it, and most are ranking it as their #1 prized possession. I may bring mine when I return for another Can Jam sometime and compare it to the Tungsten too.
 
Thanks, I'll stick around this thread a few more weeks in case anyone needs info. on the Ember.

Got my electrician to fix the earthing. No noise now
He didn't charge anything. I gave him a 5 quids tip to make him happy

Say, did you get the standard set or the Melz upgrade? I never heard of Melz tubes. Are they Current production?

 

[connieflyer]

I ordered an Elise as well, and I was told by a few forum members to forgo the tubes, as while they are okay, even the Melz are not that interesting.  I have plenty of tubes to use, so no point in ordering tubes I would not use.  Just got my new Sennheiser 800 headphone, using with the Ember and am very impressed with how good they sound with this amp. Be putting my Senn 700's up for sale soon, and when Elise gets here the Ember also.  Using the dual 6J5's now and this is sounding very good indeed.  Remarkable amp this Ember.

Dan congrats on the hd800.  I will have another pair soon.  The HE560 are sounding damn fine as well
 
How would you compare the 700 to the 800 using the ember for both ??

 

[connieflyer]

The 800's are more open, larger soundstage, bass is tight, 700's seem to have more emphasis on bass but sounds good.  Need more time under the 800's to be more specific.  These are not the new 800s model, these are the original 800's, the silver ones.  From the comparison's I read I did not want treble to be rolled off, bass in reviews were increased on new version but not as accurate or as tight.  These have plenty of bass, if it is in the music you have it.

They can. I didn't feel like they worked perfectly, though. I actually have quite a few of them because I also roll them into my DAC sometimes. If you want a couple, ping me and I can charge you even less than that guy since I don't need so many.

I knew it, the Ember is a gateway drug! Cheers

 

[connieflyer]

Actually it is! Even on the Sennheiser 800 it sounds great.

Just lowered price on Ember to $300 with tubes and accessories, lower than this may as well use as spare
