@UntilThen Are these good tubes where are linked in the picture? A stupid question on the side if I want to use these on my Junior I have to plug in the 6J5 to 6SN7 socket and then put this adapter on both or? https://www.ebay.de/itm/204505189120 The name of the adapter is a bit stupid...

Thanks,🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Does anyone happen to know how to distinguish between the Universe and Auteur pads? They look very identical visually and it would be nice if Zmf could name them on the back or somewhere with an abbreviation so you can recognise them.

I would probably want to use the N18 pro for the clean side if I had one. Also because the last filtering here is better than the Fmc box,of course if you have the possibility to connect it here without needing unnecessary Lan cable for the other things. But in the end I guess you would have to...

Yes, that's right. If they were first produced by Mullard in 1954, you can assume that they were and perhaps it was only towards the end of 1954 that it was superfluous to code them sufficiently. @Isaacc7 you won't believe it the 807 adapters were one of the first I had made for Ultimate by...

@UntilThen Ah great, thanks again. If you would do Deyan, why not? I should be good to go with 6j5 and 6bx7 or 6bl7, although I have more driver tubes than output for the Junior Ultimate. @triod750 I only have that code on the tubes. They might actually be the first EL84s from Mullard that...

I can't disagree with that.👍👍👍👍 My personal experience: Caps >cables>fuse,the last part is the last to go,if you know how the caps and the amp sounds in general,you know what kind of cables you want,the fuse just rounds off the subtle area. Glad to hear the FT3 is doing well.✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️ The...

@triod750 I haven't looked up Siemens either. But so far I can't complain about the Ez81 Telefunken. Also makes a nice sound with the 6v6 Mullard and 12At7 Ultron. About the El84 the codes are: RX1 Must actually have been the first ones. 6V6 Mullard is also a nice tube on the Atrium. It has a...

In fact, and although the Caldera ultra perf are also good, I prefer the Universe lamb perf on the atrium. The Caldera ultra are a little more neutral and less enveloping but retain most of the character of the Universe pad. In principle it is good to have both, if you really dare to go for a...

I also have this problem when I use the Singxer Su 2 and switch to external. Sometimes the R26 brings ext.err. after switching on. When I switch it on/off it sometimes switches. I have found that this usually only occurs when nos/pcm is on and dsd is off. Also, when it brings ect.err the K2 is...

I use the Feliks Euforia (OTL) and a Tc amplifier from an Australian amp builder. The Australian amp is very versatile, even more versatile than the Aegis but never mind. I use it mainly for the Atrium but also Auteur classic. Also because it has more power and handles certain things better. The...

Hello, I've extended my Ez81 stock and today the Ez81 Telefunken arrived. I bought it on Ebay for 16€. I plugged it in a few minutes ago after cleaning and it sounds great at first. As you can see, there's no need to spend a fortune on top-class rectifiers, just be...

@crakers7 Nice collection, there are a few good ones. What do you think of the Kt88 winged C from Svetlana? I haven't yet found the right driver tube that would fit. I find the EL34 Winged C from Svetlana much livelier and more open when I hear them both. I was wondering whether the KT88...

Thanks for the info. Do you think the Vcap Odam's or CuTF go one step further on such things? I'm just asking from your personal point of view. Amazing that Cayin has found a way that is very close to your soundsignature in DIY version. I would have guessed that your DIY version goes at least...

Does the Zmf Aegis also use jupiter caps or others? The question has somehow not yet been answered. This is always important to me when I buy amplifiers. In case I do need to invest :-).

As far as I know not, they were supposedly independent EL84s from Hitachi. Also from Toshiba, as far as I know they were made by Matsushida for the 2, I don't think Nec made any if they are branded and could be from Mullard. There are some Japanese and beautiful rarities to discover in this...

The Russian EL84‘s are nowhere near as good as what you'll find from EL84’s, even Tungsram's sound great and a lot better. If you can find EL84 Hitachi at a good price you will compete with the Mullards. They are slightly better in all areas. I still have Rca of EL84s, unfortunately I only got...

Can you use this box where you are attached to the. side how much current the tubes draw and thus determine whether the tubes are faulty? If so, where did you buy it?

You are right that the Vcaps are expensive, the price hurts for a few. However, once you have heard them after more than 400 hours of burn-in, you forget the price relatively quickly. That was the case with the Ultimate, as well as the Euforia, where I installed the TFTF and then had the Odam's...

I was really lucky with the CuTf, although it is quite heavy in terms of weight. I had to connect it to the Mundorf so that it didn't hang down. A nice picture of the caps, the Audio Note copper is still missing. The Mc Chanson badge also looks very good. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup...

The caps are actually easy to solder. You'd be surprised how easy it actually is once you get the hang of it. With the Junior it actually went quite well, only the cap itself was a bit bigger than everything else, but it worked. A good soldering iron where you can set the temperature would be...

Life is very good with Ultimate, no question about it. :ksc75smile: :ksc75smile: :ksc75smile: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :ksc75smile: :ksc75smile: :gs1000smile: :gs1000smile: :gs1000smile: :gs1000smile: :gs1000smile...

Which 12Ax7 do you have in it? Ultimate is definitely made to drive the Suvara with ease, if necessary there is plan B. 12 o'clock at noon with the potentiometer with Suvara shows how to drive it. At 9 o'clock Atrium is the end with Auteur it goes a bit further. Have fun with Eric, but you...

Can only speak here mainly for high-cushion headphones like Zmf and perhaps even heavier riding ones like Suvara. But the results of large output tubes like KT88,EL81 made a remarkable impression with 12Ax7. I have to try other output tubes like EL38,KT63/66 maybe EL32. It changes the whole...

I can still see plenty of room in the room for new toys, haha.
