Drew, a bit more feedback. I am listening to one of my favorite recordings of all time "the Traveling Wilburys - Volume 1 and 3. I listened to the music first with the LCD-3, then the HE-500 and finally switched to the Kingsound set up. Now, I am officially committing blasphemy when I say (or write this) but the Kingsound blew the LCD-3 and the HE-500 right out of the water. Clarity, detail, bass depth and extension - no contest. The first two sounded more congested. I need to listen to more recordings before I make a definitive generalization but I thought I would let you know. I am using the same DAC for all three HPs so the amp for the first two set ups (LCD 3 and HE 500) may be a contributor. Not sure yet but loving the Kingsounds.
Thanks for the feedback. The same feedback was given by all who listened at the California Audio Show this past wknd. One of the Best Bang for the buck set ups in Headphone Audio. The Tube amp is even better. At CES when i heard the Prototypes I was favoring the SS setup. But the final production version of the Tube Amp M-20 is amazing. And the tubes are common so tube rolling will be next on my list
