Thanks for the suggestion... I've decided on Norne's Solv X Series, though I was torn between this and the CablePro's Reverie...  In the end I liked the way Norne has so many options for styling the cable, it certainly gives it a personal touch that makes it kind of unique.

So I got my confirmation of shipping....and I just ordered my first pair of Sennheiser HD-800's!  The wait is coming to an end, the question I have...   What cable upgrade do you guys know is best for this amp and the Senh HD-800, obviously balanced is what I'm getting.   So far I'm looking...

The last thing I would wish for Christmas was a rushed product... As other's have said and been through, 1 year or longer waits for previous GS-X productions.  If I had a wish it would be to take as long as you need Justin!

Hey guys looking for suggestions for ss amp...   So my current set up is Senh Hd-650 balanced, Little Dot MK VIII SE and W4S Dac 2.   Not to say that I'm not happy, I was just wondering how solid state would sound.  For my first set up I've been blown away and this will forever be the basis...

So my current set up is Senh Hd-650 balanced, Little Dot MK VIII SE and W4S Dac 2.   Not to say that I'm not happy, I was just wondering how solid state would sound.  For my first set up I've been blown away and this will forever be the basis for my judgement in future upgrades.  I'm sure this...

Well I think I got the cream of the crop on their way... just ordered matched pairs 6N30P-DR 6H30 Pi SUPER TUBES 1979 REFLECTOR and SIEMENS ECC801S 12AT7 E81CC matched pair.   Tingling with excitement to see the difference.

Some clarification in regards to the tube types needed for the MK8 would be nice; 4 power and 2 that the sound goes through I'm guessing?   Reading all these posts and people say these are great but not sure if I need 2 or 4, and what about spares, or matched pairs how important it is?  ...

So I'm totally new to the tube amp scene, and balanced headphones as well; and decided to make a decent first step to see what all the fuss is about.   Ordered LD MK VIII SE with the LD Dac I and cans from Moon Audio with his specialty cable, Senh HD650-With 5' Silver Dragon V3 Headphone...
