    Thoughts on a cheap tube pre-amp for my headphone setup?

    I've been getting really curious about tube sound recently, as I have only a few experiences with it. I'm currently using a pretty decent ~3k$ setup. Fostex Hpa8 DAC -> Auralic Mk2 Amp -> Fostex TH900 Headphones. (The post on my profile is outdated, had to sell the abyss setup :c) I'm...

    Hello, I have had the privilege of testing your 12AU7 Ray tube with Apos Audio. Many thanks at this point. And also a big sorry that it took so long. Life keeps playing tricks and it's always very difficult to get back to where you were at the end. I have replaced capacitors on the amplifier...

    Bad tube socket?

    Viva egoista 845. Bought this used from another headfi user and I'm having issues with it once hooked up. I tried switching the tubes from socket to socket, I've also tried switching the inputs from XLR to Rca. I am only getting audio out of one side. I have tried both 6.5 and xlr outputs...

    Mind helping with choosing tubes for my triode amp?
