    Eric McChanson Headphone Amp??

    I had picked them up from the same @OctavianH post in the "Tube rolling thread - UltraSonic Studios" thread. I used them for a month in my Chameleon amp. I really like the PE06/40N tubes. Ran them at 40mA in Chameleon since it is pot adjustable. Just put them in the UltimatE and yes they do...

    This showed up today!!!:ksc75smile: My SuperSilver SupremE! The only bad thing is my right foot has been giving me problems the last couple of weeks. Went from plantar fasciitis last year to a pain running down the outside top of foot and up where the Peroneus Tendons are (edited).... So I'm...

    Hai, It gets confusing really fast on the 6SN7(P) to 6J5 adapter and 6SN7(S) to 6J5 adapter and where and when to use each one. Look back through these posts and it is the 6SN7(S) to 6J5 adapter to use a tube in the 6J5 driver slot.

    Eric McChanson Headphone Amp??

    I've had a busy week at work and still having a busy weekend. Yesterday Eric sent an email with pictures of my SuperSilver SupremE and I just barely checked that email account to see them to my delight. This is the 2A3/45 300B version of my SuperGold UltimatE. It will also be using 5V rectifier...

    Start with this post and scroll down the page. More than likely you have the Anode and Grid1 connected backwards. Swap the connections around..... And If you're worried about hooking them up incorrectly here is a post asking if anyone had hooked them up wrong with consequences. Just scroll...

    Glad it's all worked out with Eric.... One never knows what might happen after you've received the amplifier, or in shipping. One week after making this post, I was sending an email to Eric to have another amp built. I knew I wanted another hand built amplifier and initially I wanted the U-Amp...

    Mrs. X has made a C3G to 6J5 adapter but wants Matt to test the adapter before she will make more of them. Unfortunately the adapter will probably not arrive to Matt before he leaves on vacation in December. So Matt's testing of the adapter will have to wait until he returns home in March. Just...

    Eric McChanson Headphone Amp??

    I was able to attend a Arizona head-fi meet this past Saturday and I took both of my McChanson amps. It was great to see all of gear that was there and to get to listen to the gear that was there. Best part was just visiting and getting to know a lot of the other head-fi members in the area...

    AZ Head-Fi Meet: November 18th, 2023

    I'm glad I took the days of off work to attend and I had a great time. Was great to put faces to head-fi names. I've known a lot of names for several years as I'm more of a lurker than poster. There was a lot of great gear there and I spent to much time talking and not enough time listening...

    Eric McChanson Headphone Amp??

    I have to admit I'm chomping at the bit for this amp. Expect an email from me to you and Eric later tonight when I'm on break. I did just receive my EL38 tubes from Langrex and adapters from Mrs. X. I'll put those tubes in UltimatE tomorrow morning once I'm off work.

    The EL156 sounds like a EL34 on steroids.... I picked up the EL156 tubes back in 2021. I use them in my other amp that Eric built for me, Super silkE Amp KT150. I did buy more than I really needed, I have 3 pairs of EL156 tubes and they were expensive back then but cheaper than todays prices...
