Just a reminder that the release price for the Aegis and Caldera Closed will end tomorrow and then prices will revert to the stock price of 3499 and 3699 usd. The Shedua LTD will be available until the end of June FWIW.

Yep there's some stabilized caldera and atrium opens coming Friday! Then after that some sort of hot cup summer something that I haven't worked out yet in July.

Awesome, thanks! Any atrium closed by chance or just open? Can’t wait to see what’s coming! I’ve been loving my CC and am looking to add an atrium to pair with it

Going to sell any stabilized Homage that have matching/coordinated headphones? Be cool to buy together.
Just curious when these are going up on the website?

My ZMF Aegis is coming next week.
Will swap out all and test with other tubes...later.....
2 6SL7 from Sophia Electric.. Just bought...
274B Rectifier from Sophia Electric, taken out from WA6SE tube amp.
2 Gold Lion KT88 or KT88 from McIntosh stereo tube amp.
Can I try Gold Lion 6V6 in place of 6 SL7 also?
I have a ALO Studio-Six tube amp to compare it also.....

Just an FYI, that mesh plate 274B from Sophia, they spec it as needing a 10uF input capacitor or less. The input cap is 22uF in Aegis. It will work, but may run the tube on the harder side and could potentially lessen its lifespan. Their solid plate Aqua 274B is spec'd for a 47uF input cap, and will work without issue. If you want to use the mesh plate, I'd shoot Sophia an email and ask on using the tube with a 22uF input cap and a 250VAC supply at 100-120mA DC output.
Also, 6V6 cannot replace 6SL7, but they can be used as output tubes. The catch is you need to use a higher voltage drop rectifier than the stock GZ34. There is an ongoing tube compatibility spreadsheet in this post, it includes rectifier information based on output tube choice:

I will update with notes on the 274B.
