    Are also not so cheap :D I still have to read a little about the different variants of 6SN7. The most expensive are GEC METAL BASE and BRIMAR "Black Beauty" cost up to £ 1000 per piece.

    I would like to get the DAC for my headphone system.

    Did you replace the RED BASE with the Soviet 6SN7? If so, what has changed in sound?

    Good 6SN7s are significantly more expensive than 6080s.

    Thank you! Are you also using the 6SN7 soviet tubes with your new 2.4 SE? Does the DAC get very warm when the DAC with top is used?

    Do you know if Abbas has matched the model to your new one? You wrote that the replacement DAC is modified and should sound better.

    Have you received your 3.2 SE yet? If so, please tell me about the difference in sound?

    How long have you owned the DAC?

    It is beyond my imagination that Abbas has the ability to build DACs for us under such conditions.

    Abbas told me already in September that he ordered thicker cases. He wrote me in December that the thicker cases have arrived. It is very likely that these cases are already used.

    I asked Abbas about details of the new case and whether it affects only my Signature, or other models. He answered that - there are double wide bridges on the sides, double bottom under the transformers 2mm instead of 1mm, such a case will now be for all 3.2s.

    Abbas writes that he still gets electricity from the diesel generator and that fuel is very expensive at the moment. He tries to be in the workroom as much as possible to build our DACs and tries not to waste time on the computer. He wanted to answer my other questions later.

    My model gets a thicker case than the regular Signature wrote me Abbas.
