Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread

[ksb643]

We share a birthday!

That's too cool! BB King does too

Should be getting my four 6N3P-DR’s tomorrow, can’t wait to see how they stand up to GE 5 Star, RCA 5670, 6N3P-EB and even the lowly 6N3P-E, among others!

I think I found a good deal on them.

Spoke to soon ..... tube fiddling continues

The very helpful seller on ebay is sending another WE369A from 1957 to replace the badly microphonic 1956 one I bought. He even said to keep the existing one in case it might be useful in a less sensitive application.

Hopefully the replacement proves to be quieter and I can actually use it.

In a couple of weeks I get another chance to see what the WE talk is all about

We're talking subtleties, don't expect any earth shattering life changing revelations.

you’re ruining the fun

Question for Vali owners, would you buy a Midgard sized Vali with 2 tubes?

Understood.

I did hear some nice stuff with the WE that I have, subtle yes but pleasing nonetheless, if not perfect for everything.

However, it was hard to look past the pinging and ringing with IEM and even some headphones so that probably didn't play well into my perception of it overall.

With some luck the replacement will be quiet and I can give the apparent WE magic a fair chance.

After that it’s Bendix CEA-2C51

I'm happy with the vali, so probably not. Plus finding matching tubes would be a pain.

I hate these codes

You need this .....

[a great book, fascinating -- to me at least]

Possibly, but I know for sure I am buying a Valhalla 3. Not sure if they would bring out a hybrid tube amp in the same size chassis though.

Oh, c'mon! Jump right in! The water's fine!

Hah, that’s the same deal I got, same seller, same price! About $7 bucks a tube including shipping. Maybe someone can beat that?
