My parents got me a Little Dot mkII amp for Christmas!! Loving the warm tube sound even though the tubes aren't even fully burned in yet. The bass has suddenly come alive in my HD595's and classic rock sounds better than ever.

Also bought a pair of 6ZH1P-EV tubes to begin a bit of tube rolling with.

Wow! Great parents! I wish my beloved wife of more than 30 years were as receptive to a couple of little "hints" I left her (for HD600) after she said that I was impossible to shop for. Her response was a sweet smile, a slight chuckle, and the dreaded words "Oh, you don't need more equipment!"
Good luck with tube rolling, but be careful, it can be addictive!
And she doesn't need any more shoes, or whatever she likes to collect, right?
that is one Fricken MASSIVE amp!!! Sorry about the tube loss!!So one of my KT88's in my Cary went Nova today. So while I am waiting (semi-patiently) for a new set to arrive I have drafted my venerable Denon AVR-5800 into 2 channel use. 200 watts (at 2 channel) or pure direct power. The HD800's sound alright with it. The Vandersteen 2Ce Signature II's love the huge 200 Watts push.
