Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

A little, but significant upgrade.

Hello again,

It has been some time since I posted.
My life has become a bit financially poorer. But I managed to do some nice upgrades. Now, I'm very satisfied of the sound output my system does.

At first, I made myself a DIY power distributor that increased the overall quality of my whole system. It's based on cheap "all brass" sockets, pine frame + birch plywood top. The wiring inside is done with Neotech UP-OCC solid core hook-up wire. There is a selector switch that powers up the whole system in sequences. There are dedicated sockets for the heater, B+ and DAC. The sequence is as follows:
0. off
1. Heater on
2. B+ and DAC on through a resistor for soft start
3. Heater and B+ fully on
4. Same, except I'm bypassing the evil fuse inside that degrades sound quality.






Later on, I swapped the EY500 ITT damper diodes with the Telefunken EY83.
Guess what, I'm listening with the Telefunkens and I don't want the ITTs.
I'm very happy with the overall sound right now.



Best regards,
Alexander.
