• To get any meaningful sonic improvement from a single-tube hybrid VT/SS headphone amplifier, in my opinion, one has to look to SparkoS Labs Gemini. That is $995 versus ~ $250 for Vali 3 plus upgrade tube.
• To paraphrase an old saying: "it ain't hype if you can hear it".So glad you posted this. I felt like I was sticking my neck out on the hype train. Its really hard to get express how BIG a this little Schitt's performance is.
Hofy - I just ordered 3 of those GE 5 stars 5670 tubes, thanks for the link!They are listed for $19.99 but I offered $15. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266169896523
Ha! Because... if you left it connected would probably strip the stuffing out of those fancy firehose cables next to it.• I believe that one of the major factors behind Vali 3's outstanding performance is the hefty 'wall-wart' power supply. Being external certainly helps to lower the 'noise floor'. I notice that the power supply unit does get warm in use - no problem. I do, however, unplug the power supply when not in use .
World's worst Tinder flair…I have lots of wall-warts, but this sucker is big…….far bigger than I expected!
If that’s the case Schiit has its work cut out with the new Lyr that will be coming out.• To get any meaningful sonic improvement from a single-tube hybrid VT/SS headphone amplifier, in my opinion, one has to look to SparkoS Labs Gemini. That is $995 versus ~ $250 for Vali 3 plus upgrade tube.
** You mean Valhalla?If that’s the case Schiit has its work cut out with the new Lyr** that will be coming out.
Agree the Vali 3 is very good.
Playing the stock valve now and while it’s no match for more exotic and expensive valves it’s doing a fine job as a get you going valve.

THX so which one should i choose what sonic differences do they make?GE 5670, GE 5-star 5670, Raytheon CK 5670, RCA Command 5670, Sylvania 5670, Western Electric 396A (2C51-JW) ..... all do not need adapters, go directly in Vali 3.
All of them and the differences will be substantialTHX so which one should i choose what sonic differences do they make?
