So I tired a bunch of amps to power my Abyss 1266 and after people at the last CanJam saying the WA33 made the headphone sound the best so I got one. One of the main requirements was power and be a tube amp.
The amps that led me down this road are:
GSX mini
ZMF Pendant
XI Audio Formula S
Vioelectric V281
Found the tube sound of the Pendant was one of my favs. So I just need bigger.
WA33 is 50lb tube amp so its got balls.

That is a damn nice setup dude

I also like the mouth piece on the far left next to the speaker lol. Trumpet? Trumbone? Tuba?

It’s a trombone mouthpiece for when I play anything jazz. My main instrument is tuba though.

I like to buzz on it whenever i’m not busy.

I will say… the GS-X mini cannot drive my Diana Phi’s on single ended appropriately but can drive them well enough on low gain balanced.

Only issue I had with the Diana v2 was bass impact it was never close to the 1266 phi tc. I saw it as it should coming from Abyss. My expectations were to high. I also was using mini with the Alps pot. Everything else was corect on the Diana.

Decided to rearrange the living room as we were getting a new cable provider. Man, I missed fibreop! Better hardware, better system options and a better picture.

Anyway, here is my hardware pic. I think this is end game for me as the money would just get stupid past these items, IMO.

I love this stack of (mostly) small manufacturer, high performance, high personality gear.
