I like the UKs as well, but (like a woodworking cable builder here), I REALLY like the CV181T - II. And they also make the 6SN7SE (tennis ball) and the 6SN7 HIFI versions too. Nothing wrong with any of them, frankly.

Edit: aaaaaaannddd there’s another. Amplified parts has a PSvane 6SN7GT “classic line” tube for $25 and change. Who knew?

Add me to the CV181T-II list. One of only a few new production tubes that I like very much. Nice construction quality too.

Maybe a touch of overkill in the Vali 2, as if 1) there is such a thing, and 2) I would care , but also really nice in the Lyr 3 and Incubus..

I just watched Darko's video on Urd.

Why would anyone review Urd without trying it with a unison equipped Schiit DAC?

Yes, most of the viewer comments were painful to get through.

14 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

Yes, I am 150 years old. But, I don't yell at clouds. Well, not very often anyway...

Man, I hope that doesn't happen to me when I get to that age.

You're young at heart, you'll be fine!

I thought that you were older!

Technically yes, but he does have a deal with the devil where his high school yearbook picture* ages while he does not physically age except for his hearing.

* @bcowen peaked in HS and has his aging yearbook pic hanging on the wall of his guest bathtoom. He tells everyone it is his great grandfather.

I took college entrance exams in 8th grade and placed out of high school. Ended up getting my Bachelor's degree before my driver's license. I thought you knew that.

 

[Ripper2860]

A bit of an embellishment. 'Placed Out' and 'Denied due to 'Special Program' unavailability' ain't the same thing.

But then again, if it was Appalachian State, I could see that happening.

It certainly is nice in the Lyr 3 - I use it. Full bodied musicality at it”s finest - beating the Shuguang Black Treasure.

Are you an example of academic brilliance offset by real world experience stupidity??

 

[Ripper2860]

Likely an example of being held back in 8th grade for 6 years before finally saying enough is enough and helping him explore opportunities outside the school district. Sadly, no child left behind does not apply to adults in middle school.

AKA being educated beyond one's intelligence? You have me confused with @Ripper2860 .

Dying! Went to Appalachian State on a band trip from VMI a long time ago, and then found out that Boone County was DRY. We were not amused…
