    Cayin HA-300MK2 (2022) TOTL Transformer coupled Direct Heated Triode Tube HeadAmp (Page 91)

    I just tried some RCAs in 6sn7g7b tall boy position and it was warmer thicker sound but lost a lot of detail vs the sylvania chrome tops. The RCA plate construction seems to resemble the tungsol. Sylvania is definitely my preference. I tried 2 different types of sylvanias and there is an...

    Cayin HA-300MK2 (2022) TOTL Transformer coupled Direct Heated Triode Tube HeadAmp (Page 91)

    Im aiming for maximum warmth and tubyness. I just popped this in because my buddy loaned me 3 sets of 6sn7. This is my first roll in the cayin except for my WE clone 300b from cossor (which didn't have nearly this big of an effect vs gold lion as the sylvania did vs tung sol new prod).

    Is it possible to order a custom leather free version (or at least a version that uses non-animal derived faux leather including no egg shell protein leather) ? Thanks.

    what amp dac ?

    HiFiMan Susvara

    Do you guys like susvara for space ambient or is a bit too smoothed over on the edges of the detail? I compared sus 2.5 mm to 1266 TC and found sus a lot more polished/smooth sounding but maybe a bit too much whereas 1266 tc had more deep textural information.

    Treble too much? Weird I found ETA o2 very controlled and relaxed in the treble and not bright AT ALL. 🤷‍♂️

    If you ever get chance would be cool to compare to the big amps: wa23, wa33, envy, aic 10, trafomatic primavera, ha300 mk2 etc.

    AC is some serious gear though. But ya I'd expect an OTL to be a better match in general.

    So ultimately sonically do you prefer the ZMF OTL over the genus for verite?

    Carbon why are you using speaker taps on genus and not head out ?

    I think a taiko extreme in the place of a holo red would fit your collection of huge audio beasts better

    Carbon since you are craving a warmer richer sound did you consider A+S kenzie or mogwai ?
