There's also the option of a used Kuzma Stabi 2 with Stogi tonearm for about the same price as the RPM 9 near me.

The TR-X00 are pretty great, kinda U-shaped headphones, although they aren't on sale right now on Drop. Though, I'm sure you could find them elsewhere.

Ether CX would be a really great choice, but it's a little bit out of your budget since it's $750. Although, there's also the choice of the THX00 and the E-MU Teak, although both are not exactly neutral, they're kinda close to it. Hope that helps.

From what I've seen based on impressions, the Laconic Night Blues Mini and Eddie Current ZDT Jr. are pretty good for their price. Though, tubes generally wouldn't work too well for any of your headphones except for the DT880. Since tubes are generally better with high impedance, though I guess...

I've been looking at turntables to buy for my 2 channel system and I've been looking at a used Kuzma Stabi S12 without a tonearm and a new Pro-Ject RPM 9. Those two are what I've been looking at, unless someone else has a different recommendation. I've also been hoping for cartridge...

It was the Seahorse case, but I think that picture you posted might help with my problem. For some reason, they stick out a lot from inside the case.

This might seem like a dumb question, but... How do I get the Auteurs back into the case? I can almost close the case, but it feels like they’re being forced down or compressed.

Maybe you could try the Auris HA2 SE based on this review: http://earphiles.org/2017/05/auris-ha2-se-review/ Though, it would be suggested if you could find a sale on it.

Anyone have any impressions on the Auteur 2k Copper and Silver Michanikós cables?

I heard the HE-560s from a Mytek Brooklyn and WA-7 briefly, personally I would take my word with a grain of salt. They sounded brighter, more open, and from what I remember, the midbass on the HE-560 didn’t have as much quality as the Auteur. The tonality doesn’t even come close to the Auteur...

Thank you for all the advice, sorry if I was in anyway annoying by asking such basic questions.

Any tips to buying NOS tubes? As I’m new to the hobby and am wary of purchasing defective tubes.

I’ve been looking at tuberolling for my Feliks Euforia. Does anyone have any tubes that they know sound good with the Feliks Euforia? I’ve seen the Mullard 6080 mentioned a lot as well as the Sylvania 6SN7GT.

Are there any other headphones of similar performance at the price of the Auteurs? Edit: Outside of the LFF Code-X, Focal Clear, and Audio Zenith PMx2. All three of which have been compared to the Auteur by gbeast.

I’ve heard good things about the Auteur running from the Kenzie Encore and Mogwai tube amps from Ampsandsound. Haven’t actually heard the Auteurs from those amps though. The older model Feliks Euforia that I’m running my Auteurs from sounds fine, but the tubes need changing and the new model is...
