I'm having an issue where, after some time of being on, the sound gets some artifacts in it, like pops and static. Here is a sample (recorded from headphones) of OSX's error sound repeated. You can hear the "tearing" in the "bad" recording. This happens on multiple machines with different headphones. The only solution is to power cycle, and I've already tried to reseat the tube.<br /><br />Good:<br />http://tinyurl.com/lhpmagp<br /><br />Bad:<br />http://tinyurl.com/lftsj6z<br /><br /><br />I'm about to swap tubes with a friend who has the same unit as a test, but has anyone else encountered this issue?

jedcredThis sounds like another USB issue or possibly a system output settings issue. It does seem more like an issue with the unit that might require an RMA though. :(<br />Because it's happening on multiple machines, that's not so good.

AdamaI just got my Mullard tube in and it feels like im listening to the Aune T1 for the first time again I wasn't a strong believer in rolling tubes, but OMG I am so happy. Have you rolled any tubes yet?

NguyenAwesome!<br />I haven't heard a Mullard tube yet. I have one that says "GT BRITAIN" on it but it's a G.E. tube with G.E. manufacturing codes on it. It's a very odd tube because it also has gold pins which were specific to Amperex, Mullard, Siemens and Telefunken. G.E. never made the tube type that I have!<br /><br />There's a lot to learn about what to look for. There are a lot of "relabeled" tubes out there that are made by the big manufacturers of their time. Companies like Ultron, Zaerix, Haltron, Adzam, RFT and others were just companies that would buy huge lots of tubes from anywhere they could get them and then relabel them and repackage them with their own branding.<br /><br />I'd suggest the Amerex 6DJ8 Orange Globe and Voskhod 6N23P "rocket logo". I really like the latter because they sound good to my ears and they're cheap.<br />Check the Head-Fi thread on the T1. There are some people there with a lot more experience who've really done some work describing and recommending tubes for this amp.

AdamaIt's here. I paid a small fortune in duties to benefit the glorious people's republic of Europe, but it sounds pretty good. I am a happy man! <br />I'd also like to second the e-hug to @Adama for his infernal wisdom in this thread.

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
