Drop outs over USB, tiny ones. Going to do more troubleshooting over the weekend.

Could be software related if it's happening on a computer. If I use certain audio drivers, I get dropouts and glitches. Increasing the buffer size usually helps.

What are you using for sound drivers?

Could also be a USB interrupt issue.

Could the audio driver from my sound card affect the USB? I'm using the optical from the sound card connect to the Gumby. But I am using sub ATM.

 

[AuditoryCanvas]

unless you are sending directly to the Gumby as the soundcard, it's your soundcard or sound drivers (3rd party apps like system wide eq etc) that process the audio, so yes.

Now I'm confused...you said you're getting usb dropouts, but then say you're using optical to the Gumby?

 

[AuditoryCanvas]

If you're getting USB dropouts with the Gumby as the soundcard, try increasing the buffer size.

If I use the Yggi as the audio device in any of my production software, it always requires me to more than double the buffer size I normally use for any of my other interfaces. I have an RME device that will run on a 128 buffer size, the Yggi needs at least 512 before it's happy.

I'd love to roll the WEs and other 2c51 equivalent tubes.

Thanks for the info! I have to say the EH stock tube didn't sound bad, but there was a noticeable change in sound going from the EH to the WE. I have some Bugle boys in their now and will have to compare them to the Stock EH's.

I'd really love to run the WE and other 2c51 equivilants also, but not to the detrement of the amp.

Anyway, sorry to derail the thread!

Having fun still with my new Lyr 2. I have about 10 hours on the Bugle Boys so far. The DT880 sounds terrific with them. Also tried my Elear with some Bach organ chorales. Holy crap. I'm never felt such a low gut rumble from a headphone in my life. Listening to a Mozart horn concerto now and the horn feels about three feet away. And the 2C51s are better than this? Yeah, this is going to be good. Reading back through this thread and absorbing as much as I can.

TK's JW WE's are freaking killing it tonite. I'm appreciating the Big Smoooooth !!! Goes down real easy but that bottom end is always doin' that growlin'.

Mt. Schiit...

I listened to Toscanini's notoriously dry early 1950s recordings of Beethoven's 1st symphony and the Missa Solemnis. I always wanted to hear what they sounded like on tubes, since that's how the audience would have heard it then. It really makes an enormous difference.

I`m using the USB, the optical is connected through my sound card not currently being used, you gave me a lot of stuff to trouble shoot, appreciate it bro!

They are quite engaging. Throw in the TS and you will notice better mids, bit less lush, bit better bass. Like the TS 2C51 quite much, but the WE in general for me is just jaw dropping good. Like you said anything on the bright sounding songs will become more palatable with the WE.

I’m not giving them back. I am very far away. You will never find me.

I'll send you my cursed grampas TS 2C51, just being in the mailbox is close enough to getcha. Call Sammy or a priest. Or at least some actors who performed exorcisms on tv or movies.

 

[billerb1]

I think what I need to do is call a priest for Sammy.
And I'm not kidding about the tubes. I'm outta here. I ain't afraid of no TS curse !!!

I’ll send my pair of cursed Amperex tubes as well. I think with our combined Voltron of cursed tubes he’ll be same day shipping them back to you.
