For those who don’t need 5V power on their DAC ( Baltic ),…should also GROUND be taped ?
Should usb cable be taped on both ends independently of 5V and Ground ?
Thank you
Hello Mark,
Hope all is good with you
Is this the same or a better / mature choice than the VALVO AZ1 140NG WE54TUBE MESH PLATES BIG BULB GLOBE 1930's ?
Thanks
SAD Monday
Something was "OFF" sound wise, like a bit edgy and/or glare and started rolling inputs and outputs just to find out that the VALVO AZ1 is way loose than before and it occurred to me to switch to the original 5C3S that came with the Baltic, and is sounding more musical without the...
My Baltic 3/4 has never sounded this good, rolling tubes can get a bit frustrating sometimes but then it pays BIG TIME:
I was using until last week:
- VALVO AZ1 140NG WE54TUBE MESH PLATES BIG BULB GLOBE 1930's
- MATCHED PAIR RCA 12BH7 Black Plates D Getter VACUUM TUBES Tested NOS 8.5866-D

I followed @Blake instructions and in a heartbeat it was done , im guessing for what I read that it could also doable other ways, but I tried many and in my own experience that was easy and fast.
Thank you Blake for that and thanks all of you for contributing
@marty , this is ONE of the ways
Hello Guys,
Just received my Valvo AZ1 + Adapter, I cant make it to insert into the adapter, I feel if I push harder enough I can break the glass. Any hint ?

---NOS RCA USA 6F8G VT99 MATCHED PAIR Platinum Quality Amplitrex Tested Tubes 1968
or
---Matched Pair RCA VT99 6F8 6F8G Vacuum Tubes Valves NOS NIB Milspec Gray Glass 6SN7 Substitute With Adapters

I ordered a Bendix 6106, hopefully it arrives next week and it will be great that could beat the brimar 5z4gy, I was also intriguing the Sophia Electric AQUA 274B lots of good words for it,
Could you share which brand Is the AZ1 ?

CONTEXT:
I have been reducing my "spaghetti" connection with success regarding streaming devices, I now got rid of the chinese OXCO clock that it was a good help connecting it to the EtherRegen and powered by a SR5T 12V from Paul Hynes, it smoothed things nicely but this was actually before i...
Im not sure if get the matching pair even if they are used withe specs shown above or get two separate ( not matching ) but NOS
What is the general consensus when getting into something like this ?
Thanks
Thanks, i have put my eyes on those !
I actually like what the e80cc Tungsram has to offer, but for me they miss some attributes that i like very much, i guess is system dependent
They have this amazing resolution and clearness but ( at least in my system ) if they had a bit more bloom...
