I was thinking the same thing. Also, how can it be "the best" without vacuum tubes? ;)- mem916

The quad I got from him are Tung-Sol. I use a lot of Tung-Sol 6550s in my home system’s amplifiers- mem916

They might. But what tester do they use, has it been calibrated properly, etc? I know I can trust VTS. Plus, he cleans the pins. Corroded pins drive me nuts.- mem916

Thanks! Yes I like the way they look in black too. The other thing I forgot to mention is how light they are. Very comfortable to wear for long listening sessions. I tried several pairs of Audeze headphones at a dealer and I could tell right away they were not going to work for me. Andy is a...- mem916

Sorry but just because a tube is old stock or new old stock means nothing if they aren't matched. A mismatched quad of NOS 6S4As is never going to sound as good as a matched quad. And yes I do know they are TV tubes.- mem916

Ok so I took the plunge and bought a pair of Stax SR-007 mkII headphones and the Woo Audio GES amp to drive them. This is my first experience with Stax headphones but I have owned SoundLab Electrostatic speakers for 15 years or so so I figured I would like them. I primarily use them at the...- mem916

Beautiful! I am very happy with my Woo Audio GES. I do suggest you put the best tubes you can get in them. I went with a vintage Telefunken 12AX7 and TungSol 6S4A. Supposedly the WES is much better (it ought to be!). I suggest vintage Mullard EL34s in that one or try vintage MO (aka Gold...- mem916

Nice! I thought about the 009s but decided they were overkill for my application. It is primarily for listening at work and for monitoring LP “needle drops”. I have an astell & kern AK300 with a lot of 24/96 recording of my LPs on it.- mem916

Astell&Kern Announces the AK300 and AK Recorder (5.6MHz DSD Recorder) at Tokyo Headphone Festival
My AK300 is arriving tomorrow. I'm upgrading from an older AK120. Will post some brief comments on the sound quality differences I hear between the two. I have no experience with the AK320/380 etc. They are simply more than I am willing to spend on a portable player.- mem916
