Quote: Thanks. I feel the Pan Am with 250 ohm Beyers are an excellent match using the stock tubes with about 10 hours of burn in. This is my first headfi setup and feel a little lucky getting it right the first time! Couldn't have been possible without extensive reading throughout...

Just received my Pan Am and got it running! This is my first setup above the computer headphone jack...and glad to say I'm impressed! I have the Russian tubes but will roll them in after getting familiar with the stock sound.

I heard great things about these amps with the T1...including the WA2. Recommendations help with narrowing down the list, but ultimately I know the fate of this hobby; it may take a while to settle with the equipment that suits my taste overall.   Thanks for all the responses...

Good afternoon,   I'm fairly new to this community but been reading over the past 2 years for insight into this future hobby. My old pair of Beyer DT-770/80's plugged into my laptop using foobar as my player is as hifi as it gets for this guy; seriously!!!   But now that I can afford it...

I was initially interested in the Ref 5.32 for my CSP2+ and T1 that plan to order in a few months but now interested in the NFB 7.32. Nigeljames review on the NFB 7.32 sounds like the synergy I would look for in my first Rig. Overall I really need to attend a meet before taking this plunge though.

Does anyone know what the difference in sound signatures are between the SA-2 and the Ref 5.32? Which is more neutral; which is darker/brighter?

Hello,   I'm still trying to decide between an SA-2 or NFB-7. I've read the impressions on the NFB-7 and love its characteristics of dynamics, speed, and imaging, but can't help but to think if it can match the more natural sound signature of the PCM1704 based DAC. If so I would be...

I'm definitely interested! I'll bring the beyer DT-150's.  

mikemercer...   What USB and RCA cables would recommend for the MSII+? I plan for this to be my first DAC.

As I'm interested in getting the HT-1, how does the Gamma-2 DAC compare with the MS2 in performance this amp?   I read about the MS2 output notiably louder than the y2. Also I'm would use the Gamma-2/HT-1 DAC/AMP combo with my DT-150's.   Quote:
