The D30 is only 20.00 more at Amazon. Was worth it to me to not have to wait for Massdrop and easier to return if there was a problem. It is a really nice dac and i am very happy with it. I would go that route and look for a good separate amp.
Hey btol buy the dual chip for 10.99. It comes with the input cable with two ends( see picture) cut in half and use one for it and the other for your audiobah. I got mine in a week from this seller...
Anybody know of a seller for the 3 tube pre-amp that has the right 110 transformer for US. It seems rather confusing and have read in this thread where a couple of guys have got the wrong one. Any help or links would be appreciated.
Can anyone tell me if the Audiobah green board comes with the input connector and cable? He didnt answer my message. And i dont see any mention of it on the e-bay page.
http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?p=8597042&highlight=ge+5670#post8597042 The stock tubes arent bad. Im running mine to the blue/black 3116 board and sounds great. The russian tubes do sound better. Now i want to try the 3 tube version. It never ends!!
Both blacks together and both reds together. No whites to iec. I dont think you meant to write that:) I wire nutted them to electric cord to test.Both whites to 6.3 volt and blues to 170. Enjoy and get the russian tubes asap:) It really is better. The smell on mine went away quickly.
Thanks to you guys im listening to my black/blue 3116 and guanzo 2 tube pre amp right now and enjoying it very much:) Would like to try the russian 6n3p-ev tubes. Is there a u.s. seller for these or is it only thru ebay. Would gladly pay a little more and not wait very long. Any links would be...
