Can anyone who might have owned a set please share your experience with them for preamp use? Not even sure how you can get a matched pair/quad other than eBay Thanks Deric Link to comment
zerung Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 This is an old tread that I chanced upon. @derekchanhan1, I used to use this in my earlier headphone amp. I have used many 6SN7 and then fell upon this Melz based on recommendation of a friend. This is indeed is what it says and more. To my ears, it was very dynamic and transparent, I would say very bright. It uses to be much more cheaper then! dericchan1 1 Qnap NAS (LPS) >UA ETHER REGEN (BG7TBL Master Clock) > Grimm MU1 > Mola Mola Tambaqui /Meridian 808.3> Wavac EC300B >Tannoy Canterbury SE HP Rig ++ >Woo WES/ > Stax SR-009, Audeze LCD2 Link to comment
