My GSX-mini finally arrived and filled in the blank space on my rack.
I like how they all happen to have volume knob in the center now.

Indeed.
The volume knob thing is outstanding. ^^

Well calculated, I'd say.

An amazing combination: Audeze LCD-4 (200 ohm) & Woo WA2 OTL (Mullard EZ81, GEC CV2984, Brimar CV455 KB/FB

Did not know we have the same headphone on our heads.

I just purchased these from another Head-Fier. I have been thinking about the high-Z LCD-4 with an OTL for some time. The Audeze LCD-5 intro / LCD-4 ‘outro’ announcement sprung me to action…
Edit: I have been using RFT ECC81s after the CV455s…such clarity and expansive soundstage…kudos to @Wes S for the recommendation!

imo you'll not find a more satisfying night in your cave with the LCD4 and a tube amp with sufficient drive. Add to that your whisky or bourbon and put on some smokey blues and you're in Havana.

Love the Pioneer SX! Same vintage as my HK 730 (purchased in 1977). I replaced the electrolytics and a couple of the front panel bulbs a few years ago, and almost 45 years later it still plays some nice tunes. They just don't make things like they used to.

Really nice! My first real piece of stereo gear was a Pioneer SX-424 (purchased in 1974 with all the money I made working a summer job!). I later graduated to a Yamaha CR-1020 (1977). Had that baby until about a year ago. I finally had to give it an appropriate send-off.

+1 on that. Love it!

Sunday morning changeover for the next few weeks: Roon > Border Patrol SEI or LM32 > Pass HPA-1 or A&S OG Pendant.
The Pass is set-up to also work as a pre-for the A&S which allows me much better volume control and power for planars.
The Border Patrol doubles as a SPIDIF converter when i decide to use the Mac Book instead of the PI once in a while.
I feel like the PASS was a really great value since it does a very respectable job as a Pre-amp too. All pieces are relative in value to one another and offer a good sense of diverse SQ and capable performance.

Have you compared MHA100 to MHA150? Is that AUDIO-GD R28?
