There is some guys who believe that buying the most expensive gear will lead to the best sound possible. This kind of guy should remove their ears plug and starting listening to music.
Nik, my friend, you don't know what your talking about.
The 300B is the best tube ever made for music, just listen a piano, all those harmonics, simply incredible; there's nothing that can match this tube, it's a gift from the Gods of music. It's not a tiny 6C45 who gonna beat this glorious monster!.
Driving headphones is even easier with this tube because the 300B doesn't like very low impedance found in loudspeaker ( around 8 ohms) and it's not a very powerfull tube. That's true direct heated triode are prone to microphonics but that can be a problem only with loudspeaker NOT with headphones !!.
All of you Headfier believe me you can reach an audio nirvana without spending ridiculous amount of money. The combo HD600+Cardas/ Manley 300b preamp at around $6000 easily beat an Orpheous system; but beware of the source there's no mercy for flaw or bad quality.
So anyway end of this sterile war !!. ( I will not post reply - promise )
PS: Nik I was talking about the cable you've got attached to the R10 I don't think is on par with a Cardas or other good cable manufacturer.
