Living room bookshelf... Yamaha CX-630 (hooked up to Parasound HCA-750A and some B&W bookshelf speakers) and a Nikko NR-750 stereo receiver > Monitor Audio Silver S1 speakers and the old Magnavox CD player which sounds quite nice.. but I need to fix the CD tray not opening / closing on it's own right now.) The headphone section on the Nikko and Yamaha are both pretty good for my needs and I am occassionally know to drag my DT770's (or something with long cable) out there for some late night listening. there is a Yamaha DD turntable (YP-D6 circa 1977~) that I use mainly with these and a Chromecast audio

Great stuff! Where do you buy your vintage (I presume) electronics? Or have you had them for a while?in my office (home) Sony ES Stack circa 1989~ TA-N77ES / TA-E77ESD/ 730ES tuner /700ES DD 3head tape deck (love this thing) and C75ES cd changer and a 2nd non ES N110 amp and a currently unused ES surround processor (SDP-777ES)/ Speakers Yamaha NS-344 10" 3-ways...

The little set up I use downstairs in my husband's office when I'm working down there. Put in a recommended RFT ECC82 foil getter in it and just using a cheapy DAC from an old iMac. I gifted him those and an HD700 when I first got into headphones and I have to say it sounds pretty amazing and the treble is inoffensive. It's got a hum, but still nice to know if I ever have to sell off my expensive gear I could learn to live with something much cheaper is still pretty great. Anyway, here's my low cost, unimpressive little set up which sounds great.

Nope, it's just a tube adapter the Istanbul takes a 5670 tube. I wanted to try my Psvane 6SN7-SE in my Istanbul.Where is the garage 1217 amp? Is it project ember?…

How do you like the 6SN7 compared to the Tesla ?

It brings the midrange out a bit, and expands the stage, and adds a hint of distortion, I do like the way it sounds, but it's not a keeper... I just wanted to try myHow do you like the 6SN7 compared to the Tesla ?
Psvane 6SN7-SE in the Istanbul.
The Tesla is a bit more laid back than the Psvane.
With that said, the Istanbul was built with a 5670 type tube in mind.
Not every 6SN7 will sound good, I've had em' sound like shizza, some sound good like this one. I just like to roll em'
