I have really high hopes for 601S - I strongly prefer 12AU7 tubes over 6N11.
Even if 601S has the same Chinese tube as P10, it should sound great, plus there are a lot of other brands available for tube rolling.

I would be extremely disappointed if 601S doesn't end up being part of a synergy combo with EL-D01.

So I ended up buying it last night - 75$ instead of 89$ thanks to coupons and discount codes.
If it's using the exact same Chinese 12AU7 tube, the chance for synergy is really high.
If not, I may need to tube roll. Either way, I'm sure it will be either best sounding or second best sounding (after P10) tube amplifier I have.

Any news on the 601S?

Any news on the 601S?

I have received it, but didn't get a chance to test it yet - all my Pro 82s are either in remote storage or in remote office - and I haven't visited either one in a while...
However, I'm very confident that even if it won't have synergy, it will at least sound great anyway.

Right now there is a huge sale on AliExpress, which ends in 11 hours from now - at midnight PST.
601S is discounted from 89$ to 75$, and with 8$ coupon "24AN08" it's down to 67$ - take a chance on it!

Here are (almost) all the coupons for the AliExpress sale:

This list is missing the "8$ off 69$" or "8€ off 69€" coupon - code is the same as other coupon codes, but ends with "08".
BTW, looks like outside of US and "others" the sale ends at different time - for example, in Europe at midnight GMT, which is almost there...
