Anyone have opinions or experience with the pairing of Schiit Hel and HD6XX? I’ve seen Fulla 2/3 recommended before (as well as a slew of other Schiit products) but I like the Hel since it has quite a bit more power/versatility for the price. Thanks!

Hi All, Recently I decided to take a plunge on a vintage Harman Kardon 930 receiver. The piece is almost in mint condition, the only issue being that it hasn't been powered on for potentially 20+ years. After reading a bit, it seems like a variac would be in order to get things moving again...

Will do, was ebay the best option? I've bought tubes a while ago for a little dot but lost of them were community sourced. Also, did you buy vintage tung sol made in USA or the new production made in Russia?

Damn, well you'll have to fill me in once you have a chance.

How did it work out? I just got the HD6xx from massdrop and am looking for a good pair for my DV.

Thanks for the recommendations. Any good suggestions on the specific 6080 tubes that you have used personally? Also, you mentioned you just ditched your DV, did you also let go of all of the tubes?

Went dark for a while because my HD6xx arrived only a week ago, so I'm on the prowl for a good tube pairing again. Since you're one of two people to actually give a suggestion, figure I'd check in and see how your tubes were working out. Anything interesting? Did you find other good pairings?

Recently purchase the Darkvoice 336SE and HD6xx from massdrop. Ive been looking around for tubes that would pair well with the headphones. Ive done some digging and it seems that the Sylvania 6SN7GT (bad boy) and a TungSol 5998 are a great pairing. What other good pairings exist out there or is...

Hey,   I was interested in the loaner program since I am researching some planar headphones currently (Hifiman and Oppo).   Thanks,

The velodynes are very nice, good deep bass, clear mids and pretty good highs. Biggest problem is that they are very heavy and stick out quite a bit out of the ear. I have had them for over 2 years now and they have not seen much use because I am just not able to keep them in my ears. 

That helps a bit, yes. And I have certainly seen the chart, I guess I just need more time for everything to sink in. 

Is there an exhaustive list of all of the tubes that exist for the Little dot mk1+? Or at least what number tubes are equivalents of what, I am pretty new to this and get confused and its making it very difficult choosing tubes. If someone knows of anything. 

All done my man waiting fingers crossed 

VTHokie83 its a shame you dont want to separate from your D2 but its completely understandable. Also, thanks for all of the information, I have decided against Indeed and similar because of the many issues and too much DYI for my knowledge.    Otherwise I have heard really good things about...

    Hmmm, thats really going bargain bin, which honestly isnt a bad idea, gives me quite a bit of money to play with tubes, Im also thinking of picking up a little dot mk1+ for cheap as well
