    Interconnect for Portable CDP?

    Are premium interconnects available to connect a portable CDP to a headphone amp (X-Can)? Is a more expensive interconnect even needed for a portable CDP? I have been using just a cheap $8 cable and I'm curious as to whether better ones exist? Don

    Help selecting tubes for X-CANv2 Amp

    I know next to nothing about tubes but thinking of swaping the stock tubes on my X-canv2 amp. I have read that the Amperex A-frame is a good tube for the X-can. I would appreciate some help in selecting appropriate tubes including the Model(?) numbers for the tubes (and what the the different...
