Even my wife can tell the difference.

 
It's funny you say that. My GF doesn't get past: These pads are softer

Normally she can't tell the difference but now with only one headphone, HD800, she pays more attention to the quality of sound instead of clammy (is this a word?) or comfort.  
 
My work finally wind down a bit, it is almost time for this.

That's nice! Enjoy every single drop of it!

  I agree most balanced amps are SS.
I don't know of many/any tube amps that can do the phase inversion and that are fully balanced.
The one that comes to mind is one of the SP amps which never worked properly from what I remember.
 
My RudiStor is a truly balanced SS amp and the SE and Balanced outputs sound different due to the increased output voltage which drives some headphones better.
I did some experiments sometime ago using a HD650 when I changed the SAA cable from Balanced to SE and noticed a difference.

My Audio Research VT100 is differential balanced, but I would have to dig the manual out of the attic to see what it does with the RCA inputs. I also have nightmares about retubing all the 6550's...

It's been a while since I posted a bad quality pic of my listening room with my desktop gear. I cleaned it up just last week and now it's only showing the gear I use most, all the other amps and headphones are in boxes, including the portable gear. (GF was about to kill me)
 

 
Headphones from L to R: Beyer DT770AE / Beyer T70 / Beyer T90 / Audeze LCD2.1 / LCD- XC / Hifiman HE400i / HE560 / HE400 / HE500
Amps: Bottlehead Crack / LaFigaro 339 / Glenn 300B / Violectric V281 / Beyerdynamic A2 / Violectric V200 / Rein X Amp

That is a very sweet-looking setup.

Great Variety Ultra! You can really get the mood you want with that collection.

Thanks guys, now if only I had more time to really enjoy it all.
Glenn, I have about 30 head- and earphones in total but these are the ones I listen to most at home. I have another 5 pair of headphones at work together with 3 DACs and 3 amps.
 
I know it's all too much but it just keeps growing. I'm afraid my portable collection is even bigger.

You ought to set up a few bedside systems in your guest room.

I will when you come over for my marriage!
you will have to share it with Gateau though, she kind of stole the big bed from you

Has anyone tried a 6463 in their Glenn OTL? While I am waiting for mine, I have decided to check out 6463, 6350 and ECC813, all of which have the same pin-out, in another amp. So far, I have RCA and Sylvania 6350's, an RFT ECC813 and a Telefunken 6463 on their way to me.
