I am selling this on behalf of a disabled friend and I don't know the exact number of owners (at least 2). My friend used the amp lightly and is seeking something optimized for IEMs. I tested the Pendant in my own chain with some ZMF and Sennheiser headphones using the stock JJ tubes and it...

Ahh gotcha. We are modding them but we’re doing our own experimentation. 👩‍🔬

Haha I don't understand that reference. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know it's been a while, still seeking these. Should be from late 2022 or older.

They added male and female posts inside that are glued together making it much more difficult to open the shells. The sound is identical.

I'm interested in the version from around Jan 2023 or older. Letshouer made a silent revision and the new models have male and female posts inside that are glued together making them extremely difficult to open. I'm seeking backups of the old version for myself. I really love them.

I'm not allowed to post the link to where I announced the Mountain View meet but they ended up being combined since they were both on the same day when we discussed it on the Discord.

Great communication, amp exactly as described, trustworthy seller!

Great communication and fast shipping. Solid, trustworthy seller, headphones exactly as described.

On the topic of spdif I’m a big fan of the Pi2AES, great sound quality and keeps it separate from your computer.

I would recommend trying the stock tubes again, tubes can die after a short period of use, it’s happened to me too. Of course a bad tube can damage the amp so sending back is the safest option. But the worst thing is the amp will damage the stock tubes which you don’t care about since you need...

Back when I had this amp the Elex was my favorite pairing. Sennheisers are good too but the Elex was particularly good.

I received the GEC A2293 CV4079 power tubes (if anyone wants to try this, also requires an adapter: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-Dual-Gold-GEC-A2293-CV4079-instead-6AS7-6080-tube-adapter-For-Darkvoice/202458646139?hash=item2f2379c67b:g:WisAAOSw2yVbtq1f&frcectupt=true) and Mullard EF-86's today...

Yeah, still disappointing. I've already visited the store and tried all of their "good stuff". OK, not the crazy $50K setup but everything else. I want to try other brands! Oh well. :(

Yup, those work as power tubes. You should be able to find a better price though, I recommend giving this guy a call, I believe I paid $300 for a pair of 5998's a year ago: http://vintagetubeservices.com/contact-andy/
