My deepest apologies, that video has been a source of some good laughs and the right recognition is deserved.
lol - no offense taken
All in good fun. I’m super glad it gave you a chuckle!
Happy Cake Day @Panzer_Applehusky.
I interviewed Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto) last night for one of the magazines I write for and we ended the chat talking about this record with Ryoji Ikeda and Mika Vainio. Very nice by Carsten sending me this copy hand signed
That’s awesome! I’ve been jamming Alva Noto
a lot lately!! Good stuff, great hi-res recordings that blow my mind!
The difference from flac file to vinyl is impressive.
At Noton don’t know who recorded this live performance.
The mastering quality is great.
I really love it.
After an extended vacation to California for some repairs, my LCD-4 is back with new ear cups and drivers!
This last one is under less harsh lighting and much closer to the natural color in most conditions.
Out of storage now I need one of many things to connect it to my system. I don’t know why I forgot the damn name.
Enjoy! I’ve tested most variants of that class of power tube (sans the WE 421A) and the 5998 is my favorite
Thank you, I have tried the 6080, 6AS7G, 7236 all NOS and like them all for a variety of reasons. So far with about 30 min of listening it is like a combo of the 6080/7236 which is amazing in my OTL.
Curious what amp? My impressions are the similar. I noticed a difference in the Bass of the 5998 and that’s what I prefer about it. To me it seemed cleaner, tighter and deeper.
I have a Woo WA3, using a pair of 6922 Amperex driver tubes, yes the bass is a huge difference in my limited time. Both top and bottom end is amazing.
What amp are you using with it?
Euforia AE. It’s good to know that others hear similar things. Sometimes I think I’m hearing what I want to hear.
I’m also driving Empy’s which are a bit polarizing. The 5998 changed the bass in ways that seemed to address some of what I heard criticized about them.
What a great OTL, yeah I am trying to not have confirmation bias and it is hard. Need more days to asses. Happy to grabbed it for a decent price as they are getting into the $300+ territory
About time to get going with some tube rolling on the Euforia. 
Matched pair of NOS CBS 6SN7GTB “Stubby” Side Getter tubes
Matched quad of Gold Lion KT88’s
The custom made adapters for allowing the Euforia to run the KT88’s won’t arrive for another month or so, so that means I’ll have plenty of time to get a good feel for these NOS 6SN7’s.
Please do share your impressions vs. the stock tubes! Looking forward to hearing about them!
