I was curious about this recent thread, because I actually had the opposite experience. (Not exactly same, but similar components). I have a Modi2-multi DAC, running into a Darkvoice 336, and into Jot. For HD600’s, there seems to be warmer and deeper sound from DV, and Jot, is more clinical and...

Sonic2911, Thanks for the feedback. I have read some reviews saying the built in was pretty good, and others suggesting a separate is a better option, as you suggest. I already have a Modi 2 multi, so that is what I am planning to use.

I decided to order a Jot as well, and already got confirmation it shipped. I am very curious to see how it performs. I am going to build a balanced cable for the HD600s, since it seems easy enough, but wondering about one for the EL-8, thinking C3 Audio seems reasonable? Many reviews online have...

Thank you all for the replies. I do have a DV336se currently, and do like this with the HD600, in fact I think with this the 600's sound better than the EL-8's to me. Did a little tube swapping with HD600, but did not with EL-8. May have to try that. I am actually looking to try and brighten the...

Sorry if this question has been asked I have been looking at reviews for the Burson Soloist SL Mk II, and the Jotunheim, I expect either would be a great amp for me, and I am just trying to see how a decent SS amp does, but would like to hear from some that may have listened to both. Neither...

atarione, Thank you for the response. I did not run it the ken-rad more than a few minutes. I found some feedback online that said it can take 72 to 96 hours to burn in the tubes, and that it can be done with the power tube out, to reduce heat build up. I will look into the Fitz mod. Sounds like...

I have a newb question on tubes, I have been trying tube rolling in my 336se. For the preamp I am currently using a RCA 6SN7GTB tube which sounds good and has no background noise. I also have the original 6N8P which has no background noise. These sound good but I recently purchased two new, just...

Thanks for the feedback, I am hopeful for the Modi-Multi I have heard really good things about the Yggdrasil. Good to hear that the products are good quality. Am thinking about one of their solid state amps to use as a comparison to the tube sound of the DarkVoice. Saw lots of posts that seem to...

Hi All, I have been using this site as a reference for almost a month, and decided to dip into the hobby to see where it will take me. I am starting out small hoping I am getting started in the right direction. I currently am listening to Sennheiser HD600s through my home stereo and computer. I...
