Here is my current system. Only thing not in the picture is my Focal Elears.

There is no such thing as end game here at head fi, at least for most of us. The curiosity of "what else is out there" is overwhelming. I think I'm at year 5 here, still want a complete tube setup w and hd800, a custom iem, an he6, a th900, a stax 007 and so on...i just need like 10 grand and I'll be happy for like 2 months!! Anyhow good job on your "beginner" rig! That sure is a well thought out setup ya got!

 

[Deftone]

Yeah, I stand corrected for sure. I'm lovin what I have now but it won't be enough down the road. It's like that with me and my bluray collection. "I have Plenty" then I go out and buy a haul of 10+ or more. I REALLY would like to get into the tube side of this but that'll come later.

Tubes and Hd650 are a very nice combination, its pretty much a fact here.

That really sounds good. Any recommendations? I'd run solid state with my NO's and PH's but tubes for the 650's would be sweet . I just have no clue what would pair well tube wise. Doesn't have to be Schiit either.

Vali 1, Vali 2 or Vallhalla 2 they all sound sweet with the 650.

Thanx, I'll check them out.

Great idea using the coat rack. That's some glitzy mods on your amps. Wife must surely approve.

 

[Maxx134]

Yeah the coat rack is great when you gain more and more headphones and no space on table,
Just go vertical with the "headphone tree" lol
Then you know when to "prune the tree" when it gets full..

Bad picture and still working on my little corner of the house. Pioneer sx1010, fed by IFi black label via usb from pc. IFi acts as either dac only, or dac/preamp. Klh model 24 bookshelf, Hifiman he4, shure 840, magaosi k3pro, 1more triple. My t50rp are under woodied construction. I definitely need more gear.

Nice set up, I'd love to know the mods on those amps, and which you use most. Watch collector too, I see- a sickness I share but am trying to scale back.

Actually Both those amps have their mods specific to this site .
I will post a link.

Small amp:

Bigger amp:
https://www.head-fi.org/f/threads/l...s-all-verified-mods-are-on-first-page.782183/

I am breaking in the mini amp in more these days as it is very convenient to use and works good on my HEKV2.

The big one I use for more holographic imaging Soundstage on my closed cans.

Both have extreme clarity and the small one is an abosolute steal in performance/value once modified.

Cheers
