I am beginning to see why Schiit sources their Tubes from Russia...
Isn't that the guy that invented Gorilla Glue?

The Vali 2 is a fun little amp but all things are relative and it is easy to spend $2400 on speakers alone,
You will love them, just try not to subject them to Marilyn Manson too early. Those tubes come from the big band era and will probably withdraw if you scare them with your normal music. Notice about all you can see is the bottom mica? That is why I could not answer too many questions about them, a great deal is hidden behind the silver shroud.
Well. I bought Edifier S3000Pro amplified monitors with BT AptX HD. I paid $600. I am feeding the output of vali 2 into an AptX HD transmitter > to the speakers. The results are very, very good to my ears.
You mean the faint (but still legible) "MM" printed under the EIA code isn't Marilyn Manson? Crap. Not even worth bothering with now.
Yeah. I know. I should have drawn RCA cables from Vali 2 outputs. I maybe will. But for now, it works fine. Yes, multiple coding. So what - as you will see most of the people here who roll tubes are insane and have ideas way beyond technically sound engineering. Welcome to the club, and think well before you decide to stay - not good for neither sanity nor pocketYour Vali 2 that has already converted signal to analogic feeds an transmitter that, if I'm not wrong about BT's spec, only transmit numeric ones so you got signal convered 2 or 3 times (depending of the source)?
...people here who roll tubes are insane and have ideas way beyond technically sound engineering.
Some of it is decent engineering, many of the tubes we are using are just older versions of current tubes or sets of single triode tubes instead of dual triode. Now without mentioning any names, (Bill) some pay close attention to the shape of the top of the tube and micas and such but that is probably more fetish than insanity, well maybe both. What a person does in the privacy of his tube dungeon is his own business and between him, his maker and the laws of North Carolina.
Please, please, easy on this. I did not have anyone individual in mind - I referred to tube rolling as a collective, anonymous insanity.
I was kidding around as was Bill I am sure. I know these guys a bit and we are friends. Well I am sort of friends with Bill depending on the price on some tubes of his I currently have in a Cary amp.Please, please, easy on this.
