Sure that Putin and Biden dont use tube amp… otherwise…

I think. It a good practice to install the fuse in the same direction with the original

Mine is also T3.15L250V and the installed is the same

Please update after setting the sub in. Thanks

What brand of subs did you go for? Thanks

The big role with the volcal magic is the fyne. R8 suplement very well

I had s/b version but all black give you a high end feeling:)

Hi Lebowski, As you successful integrated the Rel ti9, could I ask what way u connect the sub. High level input? Thanks

Deleted as not relevant

A video about Subs:

I have Melzs and sylvanias 6sl7 too, thanks for video link :). The way, where did you you buy the Melzs?

Congrats. Getting the Melz 6SL7s without hiss/hum and balanced is a luck of you.

And as subs have their own amps they share the power from main amp and make it has more power for other ranges (theoretically).

Thanks Zed, i am following your and others earlier posts of 4 ohm taps and being on the 4ohm taps setting up the new SPs. Your recommended Fyne Audio F501 speakers and R8 are perfect combination. (still breaking in)

Zed Zed said: It's just something else to think about. Read up on Rel sub-systems for more info, or PM me here as this is getting OT for this thread. I have posted this separately because the other post was long enough anyway, and if a Mod decides this post is too far OT, he can delete it without losing the other content which was on topic.  Thanks you so much for spending a lot of time and audio experience to help me to choose the speakers (work with R8). You read my mind with room size matter as 4mx5m is quite small. I ve read quite a lot discussion of fyne f502 and seems that they have rather strong bass for my room, I thinks of F501 instead. The standmounts and sub may be safer option as i dont think the dealer here have 3 months trial. It really is getting OT here so I all PM you, Again thanks for your help and support.

Many thanks Xlr8or and Zed Zed for consulting on the Kef R3 and R8 matching. To make life easier I should look for other option. How about: Fyne Audio F502 (new) or Tannoy D500 (Vintage) or Tannoy Revolution XT 8F (New) Which i can buy here and within my budget (my room is 20 square meter (4x5). Thanks for your always great support.

Hi Every here!

Hi All experts here, this seems quite easy to implement, any ideas on this (sound wise) please? https://www.facebook.com/groups/2590463257727776/?multi_permalinks=3626806107426814%2C3625467710893987%2C3614339695340122&notif_id=1613628675843026&notif_t=group_activity&ref=notif He wrote: "Under the hood. I replaced the coupling capacitors (silver ones in picture) between pre-amplifier and power stage, by high quality ones (two per channel). To me this was more of a diferrence than all the tube rolling I did. I'm finally completely happy with the sound." Thanks

Thank you All, my always guru With that said, I may try it as I can get it here for 60$ a pair. How do these compare with SYLVANIA JAN CHS 6SN7GT VT-231 (80$ a pair here)? Have fun.

Hi All- As I get a very good deal on this at the local store: https://reverb.com/ca/item/18895835-melz-6h8c-6sn7-c-1953-metal-base-audio-tube-nos-russian-holy-grail-military Any one here try these and /or have any idea on these. Thanks,

Prepare for 200 hours running r8. It s a surprise for you (good things)

Congrats Thanks for the unboxing pictures as my earlier request, They have changed the way they packed the unit. Before all the tubed were preinstalled. Happy listening!

Hi xlr8or- Can we know the year of the 1579s above? They are being shipped anyway. Thanks

Hi Wisker, Could you please take some pictures when you unpack the package so we all know how to repack it when in need (for moving around). Thanks
