A wee nip and some tunes seems appropriate.
Note the wonderful headphone stand.

I am generally ambivalent towards standard Buffalo Trace but I will always pick up a Barrel Select / Store Pick bottle when I see one - they are always just so much more betterer. Good job, Cousin.

Just digging the bass of the 5670 with the Vali 3 tonight. I’ll get to others later. Don’t know yet if it’s the amp or the tube but the bass is a trip (I’m still in Wow stage). Yes’ Chris Squire sounds amazing on songs I’ve heard too many times to count. Any normal person would listen to this and go yep, okay, that’s exceeds my expectations and will do just fine but I know I’ll get Vali 4, oops no, Vali 5.

The bug bites and the eyes open wide and see....Valhalla and Lyr and Vali and "+'s" and 3,4,5.....

Not to unnecessarily confuse things, but a 6N1P has twice the heater current of a 6922. So if you're substituting a 6922 in a component that uses a 6N1P natively, no problem. But if your component uses a 6922 natively, then caution is due if you want to substitute a 6N1P (especially if pairs are involved). Be sure the component can handle the extra current. Just for reference, the 2C51, 396A, 6CC42 all have 300 milliamps of heater current and the 5670 and 6N3P have 350. The 6922, 6DJ8, and 12AU7 (when run at 6.3v) all have 300. The 6N1P is the outlier with 600 milliamps even though it is pin compatible with the 6922.

Concur on the 6N1P-EV (Cyr: 6Н1П-ЕВ) rating of 600 mA @ 6.3 VDC. The 6N6P (Cyr: 6Н6П) has a heater current of ~800 mA @ 6.3 VDC.

Great photo and I am so glad the headphone stand is being used.
A walnut and maple flight board with similar angles might go well with that stand.

I'm a newbie to the bourbon thing, and the Buffalo Trace was the first one I really liked. Thanks to @JamminVMI for pointing me to it. Enjoying this Weller right now (from the same distillery) and here in the wagon wheel rut it's actually a few dollars less than BT.

Ok, I wish to re-visit this with a question / verification: The Freya N runs the 6N1P stock so the 6922 is totally fine, and any of these other tubes are fine IF the combined heater current for each pair (left tube and right tube of each row = each channel? Is that right?) is 2.4A or below, correct? Or is that 2.4A for all four tubes combined? How does that math work?

 

[Ripper2860]

It is 2.4A for all tubes combined -- not each pair. The stock 6N1Ps draw 600mA each x 4 = 2.4A. That's the max and reflects the Freya's design parameters per Jason.

Ok, that math seems to jive better with the values on this handy chart I gleaned earlier in this thread.

 

[Ripper2860]

Yep. The stock 6N1Ps draw 600mA each x 4 = 2.4A. That's the max and reflects the Freya's design parameters per Jason.

I knew it had to be his work. Looks fabulous.

You are too kind, I should probably build you something one day.

That’s one of my favorites.

Yes. indeed.

The stand complemented the bar so well that I had to move Schiit and phones into the bar. Added Schiit Asgard 2 and Lyr OG to the iPod Touch -> CCK/USB -> Bifrost MB Unison -> Pioneer SX 1280 speaker kit via the tape record out (pass through) from the Pioneer into a Y split to each amp. The phones get way more use than anticipated. Several friends and relatives have enjoyed their listening experience. Mostly non headphone folks.

I agree.. Most are psycho, some are logical..

Sadly, some of us manage both…

The exact quote was: If you do this again, I am going to kill you myself!

Now you can decode the meaning yourself. Let me know what you come up with.

Certainty. I fear my wife of 40x years would say much the same, and my daughter (epidemiologist) would roll her eyes with such force you’d hear it on the moon…
