I'd like to see some more desktop amps and DACs discussed on the Lab. I'm looking forward to your take on this amp, Peter!
My ops on the Thinksound On2:

Vacay's over, bro. Back in the grind now...
Pretty ain't it - although it looks better with a yellow LED under the socket (what I got in mine, enhances the glowing filaments nicely)
What tubes you got for that thing? So many possibilities with G1217 amps. I've read the 6sn7 sounds awesome - but those need an adapter
It sure is and it sounds pretty darn good as well. I'd like to think that I've got some good amplifiers but I'm still very impressed after my first hour or so with the Ember. Been going back and forth between the HD650 and HD700 and it sounds great with both of them which is pretty impressive by itself given how different they are.
I've got a bunch of 12ax7 and 12au7 tubes for my tube dac and have ordered a Amperex Orange Globe. Jeremy was also kind enough to include a couple of different Russian 6n6p tubes in addition to one Conn 12au7a and an adapter with a unknown 6SN7 tube attached.
Yeah, I opted for blue so that it would match my other components but might have to change it.
The orange globe 6dj8 is my favourite so far. EI Yugo 12au7 being a close second. Both make the 400i almost disappear - in a good way
