With the headphone amplifier, the HD800(S) scales remarkably, the headphones are also comfortable, leaving little to be desired... OK, maybe an Axel Grell OAE1 for a change 😅 The 5b/254m were an excellent recommendation, apart from the sound aspects, one tube measures up like the other.- albertmuc

Lastly, I tested some headphones, then gave them all away, only to finally pick up the HD800s again, whose sound when connected to UltimatE leaves practically nothing to be desired. The 6S3P with 5B/254M are a good starting point.- albertmuc

AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE
The OAE1 is characterized by the fact that the playback is perceived more as live music compared to most other headphones. The fact that the headphones can also play bass doesn't make them genre-specific. Some expensive headphones may have more „polished tones“, but certainly not more music...- albertmuc

AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE
In fact, "Hotel California" is a great tip, this masterpiece of music history fits perfectly with the Grell headphones, also because the OAE1 will be a classic. Don't be put off by the low cost.- albertmuc

AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE
In the context of an exhibition, I find a more detailed assessment difficult, a description even more so. The HD800s and the Grell headphones could be heard at the Violectric stand, and I would definitely give the Grell the edge, at least for Dire Straits music. The time for a more detailed...- albertmuc

AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE
Having recently ordered Axel Grell's headphones via Drop, I had the opportunity to listen to them today at the HighEnd in Munich. I was pleasantly surprised by the powerful bass, live-like sound with a generous spatial imaging that also makes crossfeed unnecessary. Given the price level, I...- albertmuc

UltimatE and the agony of choice: DHL delivered a brand new pair of 6EM7s, taking today's decision out of my hands: Mundorf > 6BW4 > Footscray > 6EM7 Ultron Good enough for me 😇- albertmuc

Miflex > 6BW4 > 6060T Brimar > EL12 Spez. 🎶🎵👂😍 In fact, I particularly liked the "3D effect" of the previous combination with 6S3P as the driver tube, but I find the ton much more impressive with this combination, consisting of Miflex > 6BW4 > 6060T Brimar > EL12 Spez. Unfortunately I don't...- albertmuc

Eric McChanson Headphone Amp??
Yes Matt, the bitch now does exactly what I want her to do, that's how it should be 😁 The combination of EC86 with EL39 is indeed fine, ideally with 6BW4 to add some fullness. Soon I'll be listening to the combination Mundorf > EZ 81 > 6S3P > EL39 - I might prefer that...- albertmuc

Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...
You ask the question as if you already know the answer 😉 The Heddphone Two has only been with me for three days, and yes, I'm afraid you're right ☺️- albertmuc
