I do not know if I am allowed to say this, but I have one of these units for sale over on the 'Gon. I love this unit but must downsize at this time. Shame really...

Thank you for your pics! Please PM me with the details of how and how much if you do not feel comfortable sharing within the thread.

Did you ever post a pic of your remote? I am eager to see it.

Thank you for sharing the pics. @LifeOnMercury, @huangwan Thanks for the info. Those Abyss 1266's are rated at only 47 ohms. Their sensitivity of only 88dB must be the reason they are known to be hard to drive. It just seems like for a headphone amp to be capable of driving the most...

@RobertSM I use my Senns both ways actually. I have a few different cables that I play around with. While using the balanced side is definitely louder, it is not all that much. Either way, my volume is still at Gain 3 95-110 volume. To me that seems extremely high for a preamp that can...

As far as tube-rolling is concerned... My music presentation tastes tend to lean a bit more to the solid-state than a vacuum tube style. That meant that the Mullards and the GE's I tried were way too warm, mushy, and overly bloomed bass. Conversely, the Telefunken's I tried were too bright...

I feel that the balanced sounds louder. I never did any measurements on mine though.

I (usually) do not like the sound of the classic tube sound. Having said that, I love the sound from this amp. I have been using a matched pair of Psvane Mk II's as I feel they are the most solid state sounding tube out there. I love the detail retreaval, quickness, and accuracy of this...

One of the best amps I had the pleasure of listening to. I wish I could get my hands on one, too.

Funny, those are my same two phones as well. Good stuff.

I, too, am interested in this. I need a amp for my HD650's and would not mind replacing my current two channel DAC if I like this one better.

I did. I bought second hand a balanced Zu cable and a Cardas Quad. I hope I am not disappointed.
