Jonathan,

Which headphone has the most bass when connected to your Vali 3...your Atrium or Auteur ?

Thanks.

I know the Boilermakers lost, but would just like to clarify: Perdue is a chicken company. Purdue is a University.

Purdue started 6 foot guards against 6’6” guards. Edey got his points but the rest of Purdue got shut down. I am sorry it ended that way.

Me too, but they're better at making boilers than at playing sports. Always have been.

A mini rack with padauk and wenge or Blackwood might go well but I really should finish a project for myself.

TubeWorldExpress is asking $99 for it. Thanks for the other tube recommendations!

I've purchased from them before. Tend to be more expensive, but their testers are well-maintained and will make good on bad tubes. I still wouldn't spend $99 on a 1985 tube.

.... by 'most' I assume that you mean 'deepest'. In that case, between the two that you mention, Atrium.

• For a 'warmer' bass, ZMF Atticus. For the 'deepest' bass, ZMF Eikon.

• Side note: the headphone with the most bass, in every sense, that I have heard is Beyerdynamic DT1770 Pro (sold a while ago).

Being a UConn fan since the early 70s, and a season ticket holder for about 10 years in the 90s, its was an awesome game, tournament run and season. Purdue scored 2 baskets total from outside the paint.

The biggest problem I see today aside from your typical white, grey, black, blue color options…


Nobody makes anything with style these days.

I think I'll stick with ICE. At least I can fill up in the winter.

The better team won, that's for sure.

I am not doubting you, just want to know if you have a good source for this statement. I've heard it many times, but haven't heard much in the way of factual support.

Years of experience, rolling over a thousand tubes in many amps.

From the late 30s through the 50s, tubes were the state of the art. Tube manufacturers were the high tech foundries of their era. Their products were vital for military purposes in WWII. As the solid sand devices took over, tube manufacturers either went out of business or swallowed up others to dominate a shrinking market. Quality materials and quality control became less of a factor than cost cutting.

There's too much history to encompass thermionic history in a single post. Here's a couple links to peruse. Modern vs Old Tubes. Old Vs New.

So far no one is mad at me for any of my builds. I even threw in extra items for a few people so I can clear more space. I tend to absorb myself deeply into projects and bought extra Glencairn glasses and a complete set of Blanton horse stoppers to get in the mood for a couple builds. Honestly how does one even test a flight board without various bourbons on hand?
