The fuse does matter for sure. The Vcap Odams with a. .01uf Vcap Cutf gives the best sound as I learned in my years of upgrading these units. I have also found a mix of the Vishay nude ZFoils and Audio Note non-magnetic tantalum resistors to be wonderful.
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
I’m considering one of these. Please share your thoughts, especially if you’ve heard them. I will be streaming 70% and CD’s 30%
Jazz, R&B and classical in that order are my listening habits.
My room is 20x30 and very nice acoustics.
Current system:
Dali Epicon 8, Luxman 509X, PS Audio NuWave DSD, Cambridge CXC, Shunyata interconnects & Nordost speaker cable
Thank you!!!

Regarding the ShuGuang Treasure vacuum tubes CV181-Z, are rated at 0.6 amps. Do you now think they might do damage to the dac? (In addition to not sounding right?) The treasure cv181 tubes aren't the same as the nos cv181 tubes, they are a 6sn7 tube, I don't know why they call them cv 181's. Report this |
Well, I did not like the sound of these cv181 tubes in the Orchid. For me the sound was too forward and forced. A good audio buddy liked it however. The tranny is very small in the Orchid and these 6sn7 variants do pull more current. I have not heard of any issues using these tubes in the Orchid, but over the long term who knows? |
