Another new DAC: Audio Mirror

I've tried several ECC88 tubes.They all sound good to me,just different from each other.One thing they have in common is there is a wider and taller soundstage.

" It looks like the tubes don't have pins in the glass, just the bare wire sticking out, and need to be soldered to an adapter."

When the 5977 tube needs changing does AM provide the tube/adapter , and/or is there an upfront option to buy a backup tube/adapter? 

Vlad has, builds sets of the 5977 tubes to just plug-in for replacement if needed. I actually asked him to send me a pair so I could experiment with other gear that uses 6922’s because of how terrific these mini tubes perform in the DAC.

Thanks teajay

Thank you teajay. I did buy a backup set of tubes that were already soldered to an adapter. 

I bought some 5977 tubes on Ebay even before I received my dac. I didn’t realizing what I was getting into with the bare tubes.
