Heavenly combo

Stumbled upon an extraordinary tube roll for the Atrium Closed: 4x Chatham 6AS7G + NU 6J5GT (triple mica / GE branded). This is one worth coming back to.

Has anyone heard the ZMF Caldera with their amp?

I was planning to go that route, but after I picked up a mortgage I couldn't swing the cost anymore. I think it would be a glorious pairing with my 1101 audio amp.

That, and something else happened (long story) to dissuade me from making further investments in any of my audio gear recently. Weird power issue with the grid in my new neighborhood that makes literally every piece of audio gear in the house sound bad. I've spent the last 6 months trying to find a solution, but I think to at least some degree I have no choice but to live with it now.

If the timeline checks out and I don't do a certain headphone upgrade, I will

Trying out EL34 as drivers (EL34->6J5 adapter) tonight. These are made by Tesla. Thick and fun in Blue Halo mode. Pictured below in BH+ with GEC 6AS7G.



Swapped for Fivre 6C5G. Compared to EL34, these have much more clarity and sound more cohesive. Also indescribably smooth and liquid. Not as much body/authority as the EL34.



Putting on a show!
