I think what may be asked here is: What output tubes could one substitute for the baseline 6n6p (with or without adapters) that require additional heater mA above the 6n6p 750mA? These could become options if the input tubes used were 300mA instead of 600mA. Likewise, if one uses output tubes...

Maybe? The circuit should be the same across them but the feature set of the Deluxe is appealing to some. Specifically relay volume control, remote, and quasi-dual mono power supply are the unique features to the Deluxe.

This is the way. Combine EQ1 and IM1 into a preamp and take my money.

Hard to say if this is unit variation versus differences due to the cable choice. I deferred to Benson’s thoughts when I asked about the differences. That said, I went with the Stax cable due to feel.

as a casual observer, I see the term midbass being exchanged back and forth and I'm curious whether all parties are using the term in the same manner.

Okay - I think the issue is what you're expecting to see is slightly different than how the application presents and with good reason. It's logical that you'd expect the Matrix profile to display ADX3000 but if it's the default behavior for it to be loaded in the default XML file, the Matrix...

load the xml file, close the application. that should now load as the default. Otherwise you're not setting something correct. Possibly you're loading the txt file but not hitting save? Then saving the XML file?

After loading the EQ text file, you need to also export the settings. To do so, go to "file-export settings"

Another approach would be to get rid of the preamp line and set channels 1 & 2 at -5 for the same effect. Too much going on without pictures to be much help at this point.

client is part of the install. Desktop, client, manual are the three selectable parts of a Windows or OSX install. Not sure what O/S you're using. Looks like this.

If you have other headphones with different EQ curves, you likely would have a different preamp offset value that would be relevant for that particular pair. you can save profiles and use the client to move between different profiles.

the preamp entry offsets the EQ curve, so I would keep it and set HQPlayer max to -3 to prevent oversample clipping. Plus when you're not using the EQ curve, you can increase volume to -3. Or continue as you're using and set the limit to -8. Problem with that option is when you're not using...

Looks right - hit the plot button and you should see the curve that results from the EQ file.

It's for selecting the bias output for the stat being used.
