    On last Denver meeting I listen to EHHA and I like it very much. 1. Is it one of the best DIY amps? Or better tube or tube hybrid amps exist? 2. Is 6gm8 tubes still available? Or it possible to substitute them for different ones? 3. Which board to use EHHA, EHHA version A or wait for new...

Please don’t laugh. I need phones to listen to tv through headphone amp- probably Pete Millet amp. It will be my second system. I’ve got HD500 and PX200 for it but after I listen to HD600 I feel I’m making wrong decision. Hd600 produce much clearly sound IMHO. Which phones would you recommend...
