^ Someone likes it LOUD :dt880smile: Is that using the Susvara? Or you just have Tool playing :sunglasses:

IME Hifiman customer service has always been prompt and mostly helpful.

Kinda depends on how deep you want to go down the tube rabbit hole, and how much you're willing to spend. Generally the new production Russian and Chinese stuff is ok but not great, however some are better than others. On the plus side, they're cheaper than NOS, especially popular NOS brands and...

Nice! Congrats!

This could be true, bc it takes a considerable amp for the Sus. But I could still see someone liking the Sol P over the Sus for various reasons. Both headphones have their strengths and weaknesses.

Insane deal, especially with the $500 upgraded silver cable and all the pads. So surprised this hasn't sold yet... glws!

I've read a lot of good things about that amp. Nice get. You've got two top tier amps for SS and tube duties. I like the Pass a lot. It's an excellent preamp, as well as headphone amp and I honestly have no complaints. It sounds better as a preamp in the chain than the Mogwai alone. I just find...

I use my Pass HPA-1 as a preamp already. But was just curious about Justin's design, since I find myself primarily using the Pass as a preamp, favoring the Mogwai as amp.

Does anyone have any experience with the A&S preamp? I love the minimalist look and design. Curious about how it sounds. I'd use it in front of my Mogwai SE 2.

If this is true, I'm sure there's a few people who'd like to know 😯

Used, from what I've seen That was a hell of a deal! Retail price is $6900 in the US last time I checked. You must have a friendly dealer

I would probably agree with you. I wouldn't pay $7k for it and fortunately, I didn't 🙂

This wonderful bit of history arrived a few days ago and I've been enjoying it from the first time I turned it on (Mogwai SE Rev 2) Seller wasn't sure on the year but I'm guessing it's early 50s? GEC labeled Brimar 5U4G, grey plate cup getter. Sound seemed to really open up immediately. I've...

Have really been enjoying the Sol Ps since I received them almost 2 weeks ago. They're just so listenable. I'm really enjoying the natural sounding highs and fuller mids. Coming from the HE1000se (and before that the 1266 TC), the complete lack of brightness has been a big contributor toward...

Interesting. So disappointing when you receive something that doesn't work. Ah well, hopefully another DAC comes along

My furious tube research has yielded more gifts courtesy of my favorite person, who is whomever delivers these things to me on that day 🙂 New to my eyes and ears are a 1963 pair of Tung Sol 6550 triple-getter smooth grey plates, 1973 Marconi A2900 solid-disc getter black plate, and based on...

Bummer. Ever find out what it was, or just DOA?

I heard there's a month long wait already so he would have been waiting a while

I'll be very interested in this. I've been intrigued with this amp ever since I happened to stumble upon it on the internet. And have always been intrigued with the brand. The 433 price point is very attractive, has the MK pedigree, trickle-down technology and fully balanced. The only thing that...

Bummer. If both outputs don't work hopefully it's just a setting or something.

I'm selling two pairs of great Tung Sol reissue power tubes: Matched KT66 and 6550 The TS KT66 are getting super rare and hard to find as they are no longer made. I bought this pair new several years ago for an amp that I sold soon after. Honestly I don't even think they've been used more than...

Looks like it's only for Windows or iOS, and I use neither lol. I'm Mac and Android. No worries. I'll continue to play around with Sense since I'm using an Innuos unit and it seems to sound great.

I was eyeing that unit you had for sale. Ultimately I decided I would opt for the Pulse if I decided to go for a dedicated streamer. Congrats on the sale
