There is supposed to be a modest but evident bump in sound quality over the 6X5 and Bendix 5852 tubes I have been using. I can still use those tubes with the mod. I have a couple of 1950’s NOS Sylvania 6BY5G tubes arriving Thursday.

Thanks, keep us updated.

The 6BY5G tubes showed up a day early. There is indeed improvement in sound quality...especially at lower sound volumes. There is better separation and isolation of instruments and voices along with a fuller sound. The fuller sound part is especially evident at lower volumes as the music does not lose as much life as you turn down the volume. Not bad for a easy mod and cheaper rectifier tubes!

Check out Wishbone Ash - Argus

And Thin Lizzy. Amazing stuff. Shows you what Judas Priest and Iron Maiden were coming from and wanted to make more driving, intuitive; more id, more Dionysian

Not a fan of a Thin Lizzy...they are just too much. Argus was ok but a step below the top prog rock of the era. Thanks for the recs though!

There are not enough mutecs in that post

hey @johnjen if you don't have the balls to complain directly "to us", stay on HF with the rest of the hype mental midgets.

Meh. @jexby I wouldn't waste energy being upset. Members take things personally and JohnJen feels censored here because I added filters to make his posts readable without triggering the need to poop for everyone.

don't want to be caught on surveillance tape and be banned from Head-Fi. oh wait.

Well, my first experience with the DirectStream was Redcloud. I think that was the 6th or 7th release. In my system I compared it to my Yggdrasil and Yggdrasil lost and it wasn't really all that close. Snowmass is better yet. As Torq likes to point out, it is pretty smart of PS Audio to take advantage of field upgrades.

I couldn't care less about Paul. He seems nice enough even if he is a bit nuts. I am not buying Paul, I am buying a DAC.

@JK47 You have to be a real asshole to dislike the fact that I just ordered triple adjustable dampers for my race car.

By the way, I wrapped up the season championship for my class on Saturday.

In what? Hop scotch or skipping rope?

Yeah, Winders would finally pull off a "Jeremy" it would probably be Psalm black and blue, and we'd all be laughing.

@JustAnotherRando be like https://imgur.com/a/erePW86

@HitmanFluffy I prefer to be more discrete about my spandex fetish. Pls don't out me.

Completely off point, but funny, haha

You need a rest from the internet.

You practised your sarcasm. Well done.

If you're talking about all the people disliking your posts, they definitely are enjoying themselves. Dont give a reaction or they'll keep doing it. Or maybe stop making bad posts. Not saying your posts are bad (I havne't been reading them rly) but there's probably a reason why youre getting mass disliked.

MOTC made sense? Someone ran themselves over with their Jeep I believe...

@ButtUglyJeff it's relative. And mtoc was never an audiophool who played a phony legal scholar on the forum.

How long is he banned for again?

The welcome back party didn't last long, is the ban permanent?

I've been too busy enjoying my new amp and chasing down CDs to fill out my collection rather than getting all excited about what you might post upon my return....

So... as they say internet. There was I, fingers over keyboard, just aching to waste electrons. Here they are.

Winders you crusty old man. Who you think you are. With your overpriced under performance gear. Don Sachs - LOL. Shut the fucking pie hole in oyur face.

@JustAnotherRando - would that be African or European electrons?

Bingo

Maybe it's not your posts, but rather you that he dislikes?

It's his shtick and the only thing he is good at.

Obviously not wicker basket weaving, because I'm still the Cham-PEE-on !!!

@JK47 The really good news is that I won $1200 in tires. That certainly not being pissed on.....

I won today too and won $1000 more in tires.

I will certainly give it a shot. I will run it in overnight and give it a listen tomorrow.

Wow, this thing rocks! I might buy a second one for my 2 channel rack.

Wow that's high praise! Looking forward to your thoughts on it.

Hmmm... I wouldn't worry about it. Besides, Zero said it's return was temporary.

This is all in fun...I am not worried at all.

I heard it was only back so we could all dislike your posts. :D

Welcome back. Hope you enjoy the Lyr 3!

Thanks! I sold my seldom used Mjolnir 2 and bought the Lyr 3. Now to see if it replaces the MJ2 in the 2 channel rack or the Vali 2 in my nearfield office setup

Give Kendrick Lamar a listen. From "King Kunta" to "D.N.A." there might be something for you there. Kendrick gave me hope again. Jay Z's "The Story Of O.J." is also interesting. And if you want something banging go Run The Jewels (DJ Shadow likes them, that is a good thing)...
