Ok. Nice. The 6xx definitely wakes up on a tube. To my knowledge, the LDmkii is cheaper than the DV but prob not as powerful. If you’re interested in tube rolling, the LD will also have looking for matched pairs for 2 sets of tubes while the DV has just 2 tubes total.
Half off used in excellent condition if anyone is looking for them on the cheap.
various sales on beyer site
Anyone have any experience with upscale audio? are they reliable?
If you visit their website, they seem pretty legit. I ordered tubes from them that came in today. They also had free fast shipping and tube matching/testing/burn-in.
Very reputable store in your area.
nice price on the Utopias, but that cable doesn’t sound like a good match for me. I guess the owner was using it portably?
edit: and since the connectors are so expensive, I’d have to add another $300-$400 or so to get the real cost putting it right in line with normal used prices
I’ve done business with upscale audio, mainly used items and tubes. Not the cheapest but their stuff is quality and they back whatever pre-owned or open box stuff they sell you. Well inspected and guaranteed to work when it leaves their shop.

XDUOO TA-20 BALANCED HEADPHONE AMP 296$
That’s a great looking amp. Anybody know how this would compare to the DarkVoice? Seems that’s also up on Drop as well.
M&O MOOH-BE00BT HEADPHONES 45$ Great headphone Berrylium drivers my review here. You can also use them wired for better sound
Technology is a bit different, with the DV being an OTL tube and the TA-20 being a hybrid. Both seem to get good reviews. Considered getting the TA-20 last time it dropped, but ended up picking up a Liquid Platinum. Still considering the Darkvoice, just not sure I can justify it when my most tubeworthy headphone at the moment is probably the 58x.
Ethers being bid on. Currently quite low with a day left. Might even stay under $1000 0_0
I hate it when they decide to put a reserve on it… Put a buy it now option if you feel the need to do it that way.
