random note - playing the Best of the Doobie Brothers this am and damn felt like I was listening for the first time. The acoustic guitars on Long Train Running are stunning and China Grove's electric guitar epic intro had me toe tapping and head bobbing big time! This amp really shines with the...

you should send me a PM

For me sticking just to what I currently own 1)ZMF Atrium open 1b) Hifiman HE1000se (just slightly behind for me) 2)Grado hp1000 3)Arya Organic, great headphones just not as good as the others

not really a discussion for the thread as cable belief - non belief is a rabbit hole discussion

First, I am NOT an expert but that said the HA-6a is designed and built by Cayin with output transformers that allow for a wide range of headphones. The Aegis to my knowledge also uses output transformers to allow for a wide range of headphones. My understanding is that they use different ranges...

my go to is the Bermondsey Beer Mile but a friend of mine has a great pub recommendation with live music so Ill update once I know more

Well given the economic times, I was going to skip this one. But wait lemme just check the hotels again...... Well they are down like 20-30% so what the heck. CanJam UK this will be my hat trick attendance!! Wanted CanJam Shanghai but given the political climate the UK seemed a better bet. Now...

Famous last words!!!

Better may be a misnomer, I like the slightly more romantic take the Aegis presents but the MK1 is close with the GEC KT66s. If someone was going more for a KT88 faster and arguably more neutral but to me less musical, then the Cayin may come across better.

it will be interesting to see how the MK2 stacks up against something like the ZMF Aegis as it is assembled by Cayin. Based on what I am hearing in this thread and the new MK2 thread the MK2 could be equal to or greater than the Aegis price point. I am hopeful that Cayin improved the MK2 to be...

Highly recommend the Bermondsey Beer Mile as a great fun area. Great beer, cocktails and food and an abundance of venues!! It's my go to for CJ-UK

I got mine the same way and likely around the same time :beerchug::o2smile::k701smile::beerchug:

Couple of quick tips and just basic stuff that makes these events great :beerchug::wine_glass::pizza::beer::beers: regardless of your personal beliefs or habits - shower well and scrub the old ears and ear area. We are all putting on the same cans all weekend. Some of these likely have 300-500+...

the HA6A MK1 is a great amp and recently some shops had them pretty discounted (at least in Spain) at € 2000. At that price it is tough to beat and likely not much of a loss on resale. I am just stoked the new amp is compatible with kt66 and 6L6gc tubes as these are my favs with the MK1. The...
