My listening station was never computer station. It’s L shape amps and DAC to my right of my coach and computer in front. So amps in close enough proximity to not get up.


This is in above pic but you can’t make it out. It’s a huge DAC using 12bh7 driver tubes.

All my gear is tube design. Above pic of the Dragon lvl3 which is next to headphone stands is hybrid. The WA5 Le is silver amp which is SET. Below that is BottleHead Crack OTL.
The box that is kinda in pic is another headphone that stays in box until used. I use to be into balanced designs until introduced to single ended designs.

I’m mostly gaming, so I feel like tubes are being wasted while doing so.

In case test Vioelectric. You are better off getting a cheap solid state for gaming. That tube amp I looked into and I’m sure it’s not cheap. 2nd you buy pair HD6xx and hook them up to your tube amp you’ll be amazed. If all you have are those in ear planars then sells those and get some headphones.

Yeah I have full size cans but I prefer these to them. I could totally stop here but I’d rather not. I really should re-buy the 6XX’s since I didn’t have tubes while I owned them.

Nick…nice amp you have there!! I have had mine for almost a year now and its the best amp I have ever had here…

Been selling off lots of stuff, amps and headphones.

My TOTL is pretty much the HPA-1 and feeding it into a 6CA7 speaker amp…its a solid 10 for me.

After many headphones, I have a new set of D8000 Pros…that for me are pretty much what I have been chasing for many years…another really superb headphone…causing me to sell many of my prior TOTL types of cans…

You’re the man!

Not sure what Burson is doing here other than perhaps marketing this tech for not Burson products? This is what they say about the tech in the Conductor 3XR, it’s the same thing although beefy in the amp, can’t imagine this being inside a relatively small adapter.

That Whammy is sick…you build yourself? Where did you source that case. …I have 2 x whammy pcbs sitting awaiting my attention.

Yup I built it myself.

I think I got it from digikey or mouser, its a red Hammond Case mentioned in the diy build thread.

Pretty decent amp, Class A, Wayne Colburns design…well thought out amp design…

I added the blue power led off a small circuit from the secondaries.
Also added a gain switch…for most cans this is not needed.

Only for the harder to drive cans.

I bought a new table recently to try and make my space more…ergonomic? User friendly?

Anyway, new set up for a right handed guy. Loving it so far.

Finally sitting with a pretty happy and comfortable setup here. Added some 9" risers to my Kanto YU2s to get them ear-level, and got rid of the SDAC and hooked up the BF2/Jot2 to them - instantly sounded better and I noticed a ton more low end coming through.

How obvious is it that I love Focal headphones? :rofl:

So without the S2 speaker stands, the the SP9 are great but it just feels like they’re almost angled down. The S2 stands weirdly fit - like, almost exactly - on top and the angle is more correct for my ears, so I just went with it! Thinking about adding a Kanto subwoofer to round off the system!

Not planning on stopping here but I have to start saving for things like university and maybe even a car although ill probably want to try out some abyss stuff before I buy a car

Just a quick suggestion, Mount the screens it will clean up the look and free up some space

Not here for endgame show n tell really, just can’t sleep so up late listening to some jazz and I was just digging the new DAC so much that I was compelled to snap a pic.

My latest piece of kit, The Holo Spring 3 KTE sounds amazing

ZMF Verite Closed back with limited edition stabilised wood.

They had a sale of some earlier on today but I presume they are all sold out. I didn’t want to have the browser tab open tempting me. :slight_smile:
