I just love the look of this 5Ц8C Russian tube (1972).

Gorgeous! What amp are you using it with?

Thanks.
It's an amp designed and built by 2359glenn.
An incredible sounding OTL amp with lots of power.
 
1 Rectifier either: 3DC4, 5AU4, 5Ц8C with adapter, 596 with adapter.
2 Power tubes: 6AS7
1 Driver tube: 6SN7

Absolutely fabulous!

How does it compare to some of the other tube amps you have heard?

I roll amps like others roll tubes. So I have different amps for the different moods rather than the different music. But, sometimes that changes too. I'm not too particular with fine tuning sound; I fine-tune my attitude more than anything else. It easier and cheaper. So... Among all of the amps that I've heard and own--I'd say that this amp is one that I listen to more than others. These are my top three in shifting order. 1) Leben CS600, 2) Glenn's 3DG4 OTL, 3) Liquid Fire. I guess in position 4 would be WA22 but that ends up being #1 sometimes too. Mood & Music finds the amp. And the headphones of choice right now: 1) D7000, 2) DT990 600 ohms.

Things I want/need
- Bigger place (I don't have room for half of my instruments anymore and treatment for anything other than mids and above )
- Better sound treatment (it's only good for vocals, it's only foam. But it does well for those thing on the wall I actually record on. Possibly some diffusers, but near-perfect LEDE is what I really want. I also have too much foam, which is why there's foam on a wall I don't play any sound towards (it's also opposite a window)).
- Better drivers from nvidia (god damnit nvidia)
- Repaint my walls (!!)
- Possibly some speakers (quads?)
- More time to do some serious recording for the album I have been working on for way too long now ()

looking good there! like the set-up. also if you don't mind diy or not really caring for super cool looking aesthetics i would hit up local home dept and get some roxual mineral wool. 38 bucks for 50lb bag(12 slabs). not bad price at all. easy to cut and if you're not good with wood work or whatever you can put some pretty sheets and wrap the cut mineral wool and staple directly on the wall. i believe r-19 roxual is good down to 100hz. if want to absorb lower can always get r-35 or can simply double the density by slapping two r-19's together or whatever. thing is with mineral wool it is not flexible like fiberglass so it can't be shaped to any form. fiberglass is killer absorber too. different densities though so have to look at the r- value of them. fiberglass while more flexiable and easier to work with mineral wool is much denser per r-value and comes in higher r-values than fiberglass. you can only get high density fiberglass over mneral wool is if you live in canada or other cold areas where it's needed.

I live in Australia.

Does mineral wool have health concerns like raw fibreglass?

Ty.

does this count? =) my balanced HD600 are just off camera and i'm driving them directly from a modified DIY balanced amp 'the wire' connected straight to the dac current outs. its a very transparent amp; great for testing things out before installing in the main rig.
 
its a sabre ES9012 dac and the collection of green boards there is the spdif/i2s fifo buffer good for about 0.5ps jitter at the output. n this pic its running async with the dac, but I normally run it as master clock. jitter pretty much doesnt get any lower. the sound? simply put...wow!. this is just whats on the test bench, my other dac (same but with discrete IV stage) will be taken to another level by this thing.

Love it! How do you feel on the T1 complementing the LCD2? is it worth it too own both?
I am highly considering picking up a T1  to go with my LCD2's and D2000's.
 
thanks.
