Yeah, I don’t mind where we go and talk, or what the thread is called, but the stupid thing that irritates me is where did the “H” come from? I don’t think Alex ever referred to it as the SRH, so how did it get there and why has it been allowed to stay? And yes, it is mind numbingly petty of me to get irritated by something so innocuous but what can I do?

I am using the stock tubes in it when I bought it, I think the Tungsol. Not sure what the 6SN7 is. I am not home to check right now, but either way, they are modern Russian tubes I think. I have not tried any other tubes as of yet.
Well, slap me with a wet kipper! Or did you just photoshop the H into there?In the first picture in that thread, you can see that an early model had that name.
Yes, I know. But @MokhaMark wrote that he got the Magna with a Star-8 "umbilical" cord. I expect that cable to be better than the stock RCD-XLR. So it should be an upgrade option at least.
Write to him and ask him. It’s a valid question and Alex is always open to ideas. But do remember that the Star8 is special because of its impedance characteristics being what’s needed between interface and headphone. There is no such requirement between the amplifier and the interface and so the star8 is not needed here. I’m not saying the cable is not important in this situation, just that that the specific characteristics of the star8 are not needed.
I hope he still reads his own thread.
Look down the pages, Alex is regularly online.
He does for sure, but don't forget we currently have the easter holidays, can't expect him to check forums 24/7
Hi @yellowblue I received the new Star 8 and RCD connection cable with Magna for testing/photography, I think it is called the RCD to XLR cable. (My pre-order of Magna is for the "naked" version with no cable so I have not seen a delivered Deluxe Package as per the price list. The sheathing was the same appearance as the Star 8, however the price list @Aleksandar R. posted on page 16 does not confirm if it is the same material internally as the Star 8 cable or not. The price list suggests it is included with the Deluxe package. @Aleksandar R. can perhaps confirm this? AFTER the holiday, of course.
