Having done a number of shows in the past for a few different manufacturers, I totally agree with you. You have to sit down, use the equipment for an extended time and see what works and what doesn't and even, when it comes to headphones, for time for the ear pads to shape to your head for the...- jamato8

Cayin HA-300MK2 (2022) TOTL Transformer coupled Direct Heated Triode Tube HeadAmp (Page 91)
One feature that would have been nice would have been to be able to adjust the negative feedback, which is very easy to implement.- jamato8

DX260 Digital Audio Player, a New avenue to your music. Preorders have started. Easily replaceable battery. NEW Firmware Update! 2.02
I assume you are serious, but are you serious? It has an excellent sound stage that is layered with every good depth and width. I would try a different Elite.- jamato8

LTA Aero Dac. Linear Tube Audio’s first-ever digital-to-analog converter, and the world’s first DAC using ZOTL technology.
When I built my DAC with the 1865 and on my speaker system, a few friends came over from time to time and just stare. They would look at me in disbelief. Now, with a Zotl output stage, I can only imagine what this will be like.- jamato8

Rectiviers don't but if there is a bad rectifier, there can be an issue. It is ruling out any tube issues, including rectifiers. And I have heard distortion with rectifiers going bad as they could not supply the 1st stage of the rectified AC at spec. I use the Abyss with the B300MKII and no issues.- jamato8

Almost sounds like, with those normal voltage outputs from the dacs, a power supply issue. Have you tried another set of rectifiers?- jamato8

With the mesh off, I would imagine you also throw the timing off, with the highs arriving too soon.- jamato8

LTA Aero Dac. Linear Tube Audio’s first-ever digital-to-analog converter, and the world’s first DAC using ZOTL technology.
I built my own Dac using it. It was the best sounding Dac I have ever heard it was modeled after the $50,000. Audio Note Dac of the time. I even used audio note transformers. With a Zotl output, it should be great.- jamato8

The MZ2 should do well. It works well with the Abyss. In fact it was at a show I was doing that a guy tried his Abyss on the MZ2 that he could not believe it could power them so well.- jamato8
