Glad to hear you got everything sorted out when moving to my new apartment, I'll take that power issue into mind; within the past 15 minutes or so I've had another development- in another post in this thread I complained about the cable possibly picking up EMF- before I went on to return the...

I did a bit of testing on a couple of guesses, here's the results on the buzzing (laptop power brick) and humming (usb interference, ground loop, idk) 1) Swapped away from the E10k into my audio interface, a Scarlett 2i2, and tested that as a DAC- humming and buzzing remains. So not a problem...

I'll definitely be taking a swing at the USB isolator soon when I move into my new apartment. For now, the single thing bothering me the most however is how moving the cable around in front of me will generate a digital type of buzzing/humming- if I raise the cable in front of my face it quite...

I connected the back of the amp to a metal radiator grille, the hum remains, unfortunately, so the next step is going up the chain I guess, it could be time to get a new DAC. Edit: I can break down the static + hum into two sounds- the hum is at 1khz, which I think has a good chance of it being...

I also have a used set of used ge jan5654w that I tossed in for comparison, the noise is LESS, but it's still there. I built myself an EMF shield made out of EMF fabric and covered the tubes, isolating all of the wireless signals I have around me, and have narrowed the problem to two sources...

Got it, I finally took in the LD1+ and have the Voshkod + National Semiconductor setup, I have noticed however that there's a light buzzing/humming in the background. This is more of a general tube amp question since I'm new, but I think I've been able to isolate it to EMF interference from the...

Thanks for the recommendations, I don't plan on doing hardware EQ at least for the foreseeable future, but would be interested to learn more about your rec for the TA-10R- I haven't heard much about it before so don't know much, but could you tell me a bit more on why it's better than the LD1+...

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction, I've made the decision to start with the LME49720NA's and 6Zh1P-ЕV for its lower price point, but will still be looking at the V6 + RCA down the road once I get more comfortable with tubes. I know in your review of the V6 that it made the...

I'm looking into grabbing a tube hybrid amp for my Softears Studio 4's, but would prefer to keep the budget under $250 (used is fine). I'm currently running a JDS atom with a Fiio E10k as DAC. Right now, the LD1+ seems to be the best fit for me, which I'm fine with tube and opamp rolling, but...

I saw your post on the other thread talking about needing adapters for the 6ES8 and I'm attempting to get the parts for myself, do you know where you got them or where I can look?
