Has anyone had a chance to compare Yammy with Elekit on HD 800? Elekit sounds soooo good...

Well, I'm about to replace one of the tubes in my HA-02 and I just have a quick question.

Can I just pull the tube from the top of the amplifier, or do I have to open up the amplifier up completely to change the tube. This is my first tube change, and I'm a bit nervous about opening up the amplifier due to the voltages involved.

Thanks.

Just pull the golden bars up and out easy like and then you have free access to the tubes to pull them up and out. Replace the bars by pushing them back in after putting in the new tubes. You do not need to and should not open box for a tube replacement.

Great, Thanks for the reply.

This statement caught my attention. I not an EE and I don't know the tube's function in the yammys circut, but it seems to me they would have to both be switched out as a matched pair (else one tube would be much more burned in than the order). I've had the yammy since nov 2007 and am still on the set that came with the unit! I'm still happy: no grain or cracks or distorion in the sonics! I still have 6 NOS wa407s package in the closet somewhere too. Does anyone have any insight as to whether they need to both be switched out at the same time? Because if they don't I truly have a tube stock set for a lifetime.

Match tubes is always best but it is my understanding that the amp does not required them.

 

[Aslan123]

This is my understanding as well. I replaced both the tubes anyhow, since I had a matched pair.

Thank you. I'm so torn with the yammy. I love it's mids for chamber pieces and it does sounds great with many other types of music: Radiohead, Bob Dylan, The Avrett Brothers etc -- but -- the unit really does miss extension on both extremes of the freq. No? And some extreme dynamics no? I also love the unit for sentimental reasons, since I lived in Japan for many years and have actually talked to Shige-san on the phone and such. I could never sell it. Still intching to upgrade to something balanced.... But then this unit seems like such a waste.... Unless I go full out o2 Stax.... Such a stupid hobby....

Do I see sell it, how much

I want this one for my W5000, but I am broke

The Yammy sounded like arse frankly with HD-800s, and the Elekit great. The Yammy sounds best IMO with low impedance headphones, such as the ATs (and I think Grados, though some people think not) and the Elekit is pretty good with everything, at least was with everything I've plugged into one, I know what I'd choose.

How about W5000, would you choose Yammy or Elekit TU-882AS?

To answer that, I'd have to have all three in my possession at the same time. But just on the principle of value I'd choose the Elekit.

Has anyone been able to compare the Yammy to one of the Eddie Current amps like a Zana Deux or ZDT?

 

[wower]

Anyone try the Yammy with the LCD2? (That's what Im lusting for these days.) The yammy is not a beta22 but it should still have lots of power eh.

Hello everyone! Guys, i'm asking for Your help!!!! (read as S.O.S) 
I've received Yammy a few days ago. It sounds great, of course... But it has a very annoying low background noise in the left channel (even without connecting to a sound source) 

Please, tell me, what could be causing this?
Thank You very much!!!
