That SP amp is giving me such pain I think it will remain a door stop for now ,or until Mikhail delivers some penance to his former customers. I might be able to get someone to look at it but I haven't any schematic.
I gave in and decided to roll in some really nice NIB looking testing Sylvania 6SN7 WGTs, into the Elise. I bought those tube a few years back. I always found the WGTs to have a very clean, quick, detailed sound heading into the cooler end of the spectrum. Despite doing that I am certain I am not finished rolling. Those GB Syl 6080s are crying to get moved to first into the queue.
The stock Russian tubes supplied by New Sensor are labeled Tung Sol GTBs. They weren't as bad as I had predicted they'd be, but I know I can get better sound , completely subjective of course if I run through a few of my favorites. I found only Raytheon GTBs and a pair made in Japan with a cursory search. My collection is big and I know I have them stored somewhere. Please remind me which you favor, thanks
I must say the HD 700s are a better match with 150 ohm impedance vs the 62 that my AKG Kxx have. Are the 701s much different? I use to use them exclusively and liked them a lot. Do you know what the difference is between those 2 ?
