Ya it look new or very short time used, good choice.

What the cost for this pair care to share?

[ablaze 0]

Yup esp when you consider that most NOS tubes have lables that literally fall off when you touch them. But not all are like this. The Mullard military series had pretty good inking - KQDD.

yeah well..I'll check again when they're here. got 30day warranty so its ok

 

barradio: total cost's about S$60 a pop. probably just a lil cheaper than locally, least its a matched pair!

Check the tubes for the real amperex, make sure they have 4 or 2 ridges from the top of the nipple and also the shield have 2 rasied rectangular edges.

thanks for the tip! will do that. also, there's supposed to be some numbers printed at the bottom of the tube, between all the pins, right?

[Barradio 0]

Yes and also gold pins.

Hope you 're not interested in DIY, or you'll got sth else to do for every stuff you bought - modding AMPs, sources, or even headphones and DACs

 

I'm glad you feel "perfect" with you revolution, since I will receive mine two weeks later. However, to be frankly, I not unsatisfied with "it" based on some reviews and comprisons : I am planning to change to Echo MIA or WT2496 even before I get my Revo

 

but anyway, I am playing in a much cheaper way than you, and it's safe for me The man in Hung brothers once asked me: why do you always buy cheap cans? why not some expensive ones? I said

Headphones are only a part of the journey. Wait till you've got more money and you will start thinking about speaker setups.

 

For me I'll probably stay with headphones for few more years and will switch to speakers later on. The journey is only starting...

voxel: I think you should listen to it first before you decide man. of course if you want pure sound quality, RME DIgi96, DAL Carddeluxe, or the Lynx cards - best skip the Echo Mia or 2496, I don't think those two will best the Revo

 

zen, you got your Revo from AVIO-tech already? I hunted high and low for the card all over the place..and finally when the day my hunted-down card from Ebay arrives, the damn local distributor gets their stock too

[evil-zen 0]

ya he called me earlier today and I'll collect it on thurs. but most probably won't get to use much of it until I get a new comp to replace my antique one.

RME DIgi96, DAL Carddeluxe, or the Lynx cards - best

 

and finally when the day my hunted-down card from Ebay arrives, the damn local distributor gets their stock too

Thank u ablaze, it's great to have a pro card user here There was a Gina24 ($189) on eBay yesterday, and Carddeluxe has also appeared from time to time...

 

local distributor for Revo? where to find those shops? I have checked SLS and Funan last weekend very carefully, but nothing obtained

[evil-zen 0]

the distributor is sinamex. http://www.sinamex.com/

 

Best you get it from Avio-Tech in the forum.

Ablaze: I have a different take on the hifi journey. I always find the relentless search of sonic perfection (in my own context) to be rather stressful. I've just completed this journey with my speakers setup after 6 months of upgrading, analysis and tweaking. What a relief! Now I can sit down to enjoy the music and spend whatever extra dough I have on cds instead.

 

I do not have high standards of requirement from cans setup and I'm pretty "done" too. Nothing too fancy compared with some of the members here.

voxel: go for the Carddeluxe! reviewed in stereophile

 

mackie: good point. now I should upgrade my..CD collection! (and don't talk about "fancy" setups man. I'm using $100 computer speakers )
