WTB EML or KR Audio tubes

Where does your Emmision Labs 5U4G face, mine the logo faces the side ?
I mean the mesh faces the side of the DAC .

Can we change that.

I don't think we can change it, had a look at the photos on Lampizator website and they all point to the side. Shame because the Mesh lights up nicely.
 
This is what came in post yesterday :)

It has the detail, more dynamics, more soundstage, and more bass and depth. Not lean. 101d and 242 are more neutral than 300bs some of which are more colored and midrange focused

This is so on the mark with describing the tube.
Usually when I change tubes, rectifier and the DHT's I go back to the old tube and do some critical listening back and forth to understand and solidify what the differences are.

I replaced the Psvane 101d Hifi with the 242, when I first tried them I had just got home and wanted to check if the tubes were working, etc
No plans to listen to music or expect anything as I was tired.
You know what as soon as I played music I knew straight away these were special and I just packed away the 101d's didnt even think about swapping around to know what the differences were. They were that obvious.

To all that say buy the top model you can and don't worry about upgrading your tubes, you are so very wrong.
I believe the performance of my DAC has improved atleast 30% and I'am being very conservative.
I could easily say its huge.
I'am very thankful to Eunice Kron to assist me in getting these tubes so quickly and at a very fine price.
And lastly for building such beautiful tubes. Its mind blowing how they build such gems.

Well said.

I would add that having a small array of quality tube leads to some nice fun and definite conversation starters when listening with friends.
 
Congrats deuter! I may have to bring in a 242/274b KR Audio combo to try. How does the 242 compare to the PX4?

On the Lampi, are you using the 242 in the 300b or 101d setting?
 
242 is 101D setting.

I am HOPING to get a demo PX4 tomorrow when I pick up Der Seibener! Hehehehe

Norman,
I should have a whole bunch of new tubes by Monday. Among them are Takatsuki 274b, Globe Anniversary 45s (yes, the unobtanium ones), Elrog 300b, Psvane WE replica 274b and 101d....

Should be interesting....
