So big feet, big knob, and a tube extender…When Vali 3 sets the sartorial pace ....
Hmmm….have you considered some gold filagree or pinstriping?
(but seriously where’s that adapter from?)

That is a 12AU7 --> 5670 adapter from Xuling Audio Lab, a long-time reputable Ebay seller. [If you want one or more, act promptly. I have read that Mrs Xuling is closing shop soon.]So big feet, big knob, and a tube extender…

That’s a whole lotta distortion with the tube mode
Buying an amp just so I have an excuse to use certain tubes isn’t crazy, right?That is a 12AU7 --> 5670 adapter from Xuling Audio Lab, a long-time reputable Ebay seller. [If you want one or more, act promptly. I have read that Mrs Xuling is closing shop soon.]
I bought this pair years ago to upgrade the input tubes on my PrimaLuna power amp, but one got a little noisy 6 months in. Then tried them on my MZ3, but while they worked fine for preamp duties they were a little too polite for headphones. They’re such great sounding tubes though.

A note on MZ3: the manual, as well as the people, from LTA say that the 20x gain for 12AU7 -- vs 60x gain for 12AT7 -- will make MZ3 sound a bit docile. The MZ3 was designed around 12SN7 (6SN7) + 12AT7.Buying an amp just so I have an excuse to use certain tubes isn’t crazy, right?

Love the bigger knob, may try something similar with mine. Got a link for the feet? Been trying to find some that look small and sleek enough for my gear.When Vali 3 sets the sartorial pace ....
